HOW TO PLACE A BET
Place Your Bets
Betting is quite straightforward and can be fun - for as little as £2. There is no fool proof way of picking a winner; the odds and the racecard can give you a good guide but you can also have as much luck picking your horse by the name or colour of the silks.
Bet In Two Ways -
1. Betting with the tote - a quick, easy and friendly service. You’ll find tote betting points all around the racecourse and it will give you a better choice of bets with the lower minimum stake of £2. Look at the counters for the tote how to bet guides.

Race Description This is a seven furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 81 to 100. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

PLAY SMARTER
None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to SERENE SERAPH who looked to have more to offer when a comfortable scorer at Lingfield last time and can defy a 6lb rise. Hat-trick seeking Cerulean Bay is next on the list ahead of Rhythm Master, Documenting and Persuasion.

Race Description This is a six furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 76 to 95. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

The vote goes to VENTURA EXPRESS, who did well under the circumstances when third at Chepstow and, on that evidence, this step back up in trip looks a good move. Trilby put in a solid shift in a higher-grade handicap at Pontefract recently and will be a danger to all if reproducing that effort. Makanah and Tinto are others to consider

Race Description This race is a six furlong classified stakes for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 50. Unlike in a handicap when a horses rating reflects the weight that they will carry, the weights in this type of race are decided solely on the basis of age or sex. This means that the higher rated horses should, theoretically, hold an advantage, as they are not forced to concede weight to lower rated rival

Race Description Some races can often prove very popular with owners and trainers and as a result more horses are declared to run than the official safety limit allows for To avoid horses being denied a run which is obviously disappointing for connections, the British Horseracing Authority has allowed the previous race to be split into two divisions, with each contest carrying identical race conditions

AJA NOVICE FLAT
HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) (for riders with no more than 3 wins at start of season) for three yrs old and upwards ¨ Total prize fund £6000
Owners Prize Money. 1st £2590, 2nd £1295, 3rd £647, 4th £324, 5th £162. (Penalty Value £2980.20) Weights raised 3lbs and paragraphs 27 to 31 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.
Race Description The final race this afternoon is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage

Leading course trainer (19-24): T Easterby (37 wins from 497 runners, 7%) runs SUNNY ORANGE
Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): R Carr (3 wins from 28 runners, 11%) runs COPPER AND FIVE
