Record Tote Jackpot at Newmarket

Day two of Newmarket’s Cambridgeshire meeting is underway with the Group One Fillies’ Mile the highlights. More importantly, the tote jackpot has rolled over and there will be an estimated £2.5million in the pot. Pick the first six winners at Newmarket for a share of the pie.

Using each of the selections creates 4 lines (i.e. 4 times your stake). At £1 per line, this bet will cost you £4. To place your jackpot bet visit Totesport. Here is our attempt.

1:15 Oh So Sharp Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies) Cl1 7f CH4
A tricky little opener, two-year-olds can be rapidly improving and form can be misleading. Clive Brittain rates Alsindi 6/1 (Bet365) very highly and he might be right after she was an easy winner at Yarmouth. Mahmood Al Zarooni holds a strong hand with Rakasa 5/1 (Bet365) and Minidress 7/1 (Bet365). The former has placed at Group company but Minidress should improve after winning a good maiden and looks an exciting prospect.
Jackpot Selections: Minidress & Rakasa

1:50 Rosemary Stakes (Listed Race) (Fillies & Mares) Cl1 1m CH4
A likely strong pace should suit the hold up horses Sooraah 13/2 (Bet365) and Electra Star 5/1 (Bet365). The latter just edges it as she has progressed with every race this season. With three wins in her last four starts she is one to keep on side.
Jackpot Selections: Electra Star & Sooraah

2:25 Joel Stakes (Group 2) Cl1 1m CH4
QE II runner up Poet’s Voice 4/1 (Bet365) is on the comeback trail, but hasn’t shown enough to be warrant backing at short odds. Premio Loco at 9/2 (Bet365) has his preferred ground and a four length defeat behind Canford Cliffs is smart form at this level.
Jackpot Selections: Premio Loco

3:00 Shadwell Fillies´ Mile (Group 1) Cl1 1m CH4
The first two from the May Hill Stakes in Doncaster re-oppose. Lyric Of Light 2/1 (Bet365) got the best of Fallen For You 5/2 (Bet365) that day and I can’t see the form being turned around.
Jackpot Selections: Lyric Of Light

3:35 E B F Maiden Stakes Cl4 7f
Life starts to get difficult with over half the field still unraced. Confirmed showed promise on his debut, after losing several lengths at the start he stayed on with purpose. At 8/1 (Skybet) he is the best, if not a confident selection.
Jackpot Selections: Confirmed

4:10 Aqlaam Godolphin Stakes (Listed Race) Cl1 1m4f
A poor race where I wouldn’t want to back any of them. The tote jackpot necessitates we pick one therefore Mahbooba 4/1 (Bet365) is the tentative selection. The quick ground will suit her and if she can reproduce her Meydan form she should win.
Jackpot Selections: Mahbooba
