Today's Tote Placepot Tips for Kempton

Leg 1 Selections: Hot Front, Out Of The Stars, She’s Smart 

This fillies’ novice stakes could prove informative and while it’s difficult to assess each runner with all of them making their debut, HOT FRONT, who is drawn in stall 1, is nicely bred and could go well for Paul Cole, who’s his only runner on the card. 

She gets the assistance of Danny Tudhope and the market should be a good guide as to what we might expect. Archie Watson has a good record here and therefore OUT OF THE STARS is feared, while SHE’S SMART for David Evans is also included in the opener. 

Leg 2 Selections: My Mate Mike, Enborne, River Lyne

MY MATE MIKE makes his handicap debut after three starts in stronger company than this and ran a tidy race when second to an odds-on favourite last time. 

If he can match that form here, back down in class, he should be able to make the frame for Dean Ivory and is drawn well in stall three. He is slightly overpriced. 

ENBORNE is another to be making her handicap debut after three starts in stronger company and is partnered by Oisin Murphy. Andrew Balding has his team in good form as well. 

She should improve on her latest start at this course, while RIVER LYNE brings a similar profile to the two mentioned and has a chance on handicap debut after displaying promise in stronger events. 

Leg 3 Selections: Quantico, Rayat

QUANTICO is two-from-two and recorded a much quicker time at Newcastle in winning last time than Yaanaas did over the same course-and-distance. 

Archie Watson’s charge could be pattern-class bound if he can continue his progression through the ranks and is ideally drawn in stall 1 to attack early with Luke Morris in the saddle. 

RAYAT is an interesting debutant for connections with an excellent strike-rate at this venue, which reads 26% (31-118) and Richard Kingscote is an interesting jockey booking too. 

I know he will improve from this experience but his trainer knows how to ready one first-time-out and he could represent a bit of value on the ticket. 

Leg 4 Selections: High Court Judge, Gold Aura, Kitaro Kich

HIGH COURT JUDGE could be the answer to leg 4, who is unbeaten in two starts for this stable and won over track and trip last time. 

This is undeniably a stronger race but he is going the right way and the hat-trick could well be on the cards. Either way, it is hard to see him out of the frame from only a three pounds higher mark then last time. 

GOLD AURA has displayed promise in each of her three starts on the turf and could be ready to make an impact now switched to the all-weather on handicap debut. 

I can see her going very well on her return, especially after her encouraging third at Newbury on her debut last year, while recent course-and-distant third KITARO KICH is dangerous to rule out as well. 

Leg 5 Selections: Spinaround, Longlai

The most competitive and best race on the card is in leg 5, where plenty can be considered but the top-weight SPINAROUND should strip fitter from his return seventh at Newcastle last time.

In addition, he is eased in grade with Oisin Murphy booked to ride. He won a stronger race over this trip last July at Chelmsford and he looks the most likely to be in the mix with plenty in his favour coupled with his trainer’s great course form. 

LONGLAI comes into the race after a decent third at Newbury and although it’s been a long time since we have seen him, he has joined a powerful stable in Michael Wigham, who regularly does well on the all-weather. 

There is likely to be more to come from him this season and he is well-treated on the pick of last year’s form. With Franny Norton booked for the ride, connections must be confident of a big run from their horse.

Leg 6 Selections: Solanna, Dynakite

I recommend siding with the two course-specialists in the race. The first one is three-time course winner SOLANNA, who won here in January and hasn’t been disgraced in two starts since. 

He has to overcome a wide trip in stall 11 but he knows his way around here and could get into the frame if Luke Morris can get him into a nice position. 

DYNAKITE is also a three-time course winner, who is drawn better than the former from stall 3 and even though he remains five pounds above his last winning mark, his chances are increased by the presence of Oisin Murphy. 

He won here last February from a two pounds higher mark, so this mark isn’t beyond him and he has leading credentials.
