Sunday Tote Placepot Tips for Stratford from Architect

Leg 1 Selections: Miss Fedora, Never No Trouble 

MISS FEDORA has placed in her last three starts and was a good second last-time-out. She wouldn’t need to improve much more to figure, while NEVER NO TROUBLE has been extremely consistent in this sphere and should be thereabouts. 

Leg 2 Selections: Saved By The River 

SAVED BY THE RIVER improved on all previous efforts to finish third at Fontwell last month and is on the same mark in this contest. This isn’t the strongest of events so he’s a leading contender and should be able to fill the frame if able to stage a repeat of that latest performance. 

Leg 3 Selections: Blueberry Wine, Cracking Destiny

Donald McCain’s BLUEBERRY WINE followed up his Huntingdon success with career-best victory at Aintree last month and was only beaten a length in his hat-trick bid at Worcester. He should remain competitive. CRACKING DESTINY scored over track and trip earlier this month and must be feared if in the same form. 

Leg 4 Selections: Titanium Moon

TITANIUM MOON has bolted up in her last three starts over hurdles and must be respected in her four-timer bid. Even if her biggest danger beats her, she should be more than capable of filling the runner-up spot but she’s the one to beat being rated five pounds higher and gets the sole vote. 

Leg 5 Selections: Opening Bid, Norley 

OPENING BID opened his account over fences at Worcester in May and hasn't looked back since and completed his hat-trick over track and trip just under three weeks ago. He is the one to beat, while NORLEY is a consistent type for Ben Pauling and is the solid alternative. 

Leg 6 Selections: Minella Rescue 

MINELLA RESCUE made a decent start to his career when third on debut at Tipperary and gets the services of Sean Bowen here who is riding out of his skin this year. With plenty more to come, he should be right in the mix in the finale.

How does a Placepot work?

The more people who play the Placepot at a given meeting, the larger the pool will be. If less people find the winning combination across the six races, the bigger the winning dividend will be.

When placing your Tote Placepot bet, you can choose whether to make one or more selections in each race, which are referred to as lines.

Adding multiple lines in a race increases your chances of picking a horse that places. However, your total stake is determined ‘per line’, so the more lines you place the higher the stake will be. 

To work out how much you have won, multiply your stake per line by the amount of winning lines you have. Your winnings will then be either that percentage of the published £1-stake winnings or a multiple of the published dividend.
