Today's Tote Placepot Tips for Windsor

Leg 1 Selections: Kyber Crystal, Kondratiev Wave, Big Bard

KYBER CRYSTAL hasn’t been able to land a blow in her last three starts but her second at Ffos Las in September is decent form for this grade as she drops into a class 6 for the first time in her career. She is one of the more interesting outsiders. 

KONDRATIEV WAVE is another with a bit to prove at present but was a neck second off a 12 pounds higher mark on his last visit here and would have leading claims if able to return to that form. BIG BARD went close off a five pounds higher mark here in October and is another for the shortlist. 

Leg 2 Selections: Tokyo Drift, Lady Wulfrun, Pickled Pepper 

Anything AMO Racing touches at the moment turns to gold and TOKYO DRIFT, the only one with experience, has to be considered. She was narrowly beaten on debut at Kempton, where she made most of the running and rallied once headed. She should be in the frame, even if she bumps into one or two above-average debutants. 

Andrew Balding does very well with two-year-old’s at this venue and debutant LADY WULFRUN could be very smart. She hasn’t long turned two, so the fact that she is sent straight onto a racecourse can only suggest she is ready to go. She makes the shortlist, as does PICKLED PEPPER. She has a striking pedigree and could be competitive for Dean Ivory with Luke Morris booked to ride. 

Leg 3 Selections: Order Of Malta, Prosper Legend

A tricky five-runner race for leg 3 but Hugo Palmer has his only runner at the card and therefore ORDER OF MALTA could go well with Harry Davies in the saddle after two decent efforts on the all-weather. 

PROSPER LEGEND made an encouraging debut at Kempton when a keeping-on fourth and step up in trip should yield improvement given he is a son of Derby winner Australia. I’ll play these two against the remainder. 

Leg 4 Selections: Sunset Point, Dayzee

With Charlie Appleby’s incredible 47% strike-rate at the course coupled with William Buick’s 30% strike-rate, SUNSET POINT has to be recognised as one of the main candidates in the race for the pair in leg 4. 

She is related to classy pair, Creative Flair and Secret Victory and opened her account at the third time of asking when scoring quite comfortably at Lingfield last-time-out despite the margin only being half-a-length. 

She is a major player on handicap debut, while DAYZEE has won two of her four starts and her trainer has an impressive 40% strike-rate here, so she could give the favourite most to think about. 

Leg 5 Selections: Spoof 

Two time course-and-distance winner SPOOF has an excellent chance to add another win at the Berkshire venue, who’s narrowly missed out in back-to-back events the last two times. He was beaten a head and a short-head in each of those and has two wins and two placed efforts to his name over course-and-distance. 

I thought he was desperately unlucky last time, where he was denied a clear passage when going well before flying home once in clear daylight. He would have still won in another stride is strongly fancied to make amends back at his favourite venue whilst reversing latest form with So Smart. I would make him my strongest pick on the card. 

Leg 6 Selections: Vissani, Warhol

Lawn Ranger is the only one of these with course-winning form and he has four of them but I suspect this longer trip will find him out and, instead, the vote goes to VISSANI. 

Ian Williams’ charge caught the eye when a staying-on sixth of 13 at Wolverhampton last time and is well-treated on the pick of last year’s form with the return to this longer trip in his favour.

George Baker’s WARHOL ran well when third here last week and should be able to build on that comeback run from the exact same mark plus any further rain would suit as well.
