Daily Placepots 
/ Harry Bowles / 03 May 2011 / Leave a Comment 
Ordinary fare at Exeter this evening - but there's always a placepot to be won.
Anaya has the best form to her name in the opening maiden hurdle, but it's hardly a demanding standard that she sets, and the feeling is that Taroum has the scope to progress past her with this shorter trip sure to prove in his favour.
Exeter makes marginally more appeal than Catterick for this evening's placepot attempt on account of it being a jumps meeting.
17:50 - Anaya has the best form to her name in the opening maiden hurdle, but it's hardly a demanding standard that she sets, and the feeling is that Taroum has the scope to progress past her with this shorter trip sure to prove in his favour. There's no need to take the ungenuine Ladies Best as well with Taroum more than likely to get us through by himself.
18:20 - Rolanta's recent winning form amounts to little in the context of this race, and the last-time placed efforts of Cubism and Kasban have a lot more depth to them. There's a feeling that the first-named is better suited by sharper tracks than this, however, so we'll plump for Kasban alongside Barnhill Brownie, who may be temperamental but is at least having his sights lowered markedly.
18:50 - It's not easy to be confident about any of the sextet who line up for the handicap chase which follows, with Beherayn and Bushwacker generally vulnerable on account of temperament and jumping respectively. Both posted sound enough efforts last time, however, and it would be a surprise if one of the pair didn't finish in the first two.
19:20 - Conversely, we need the winner to the fourth leg with just the four runners, and it's best to take a chance on the well-being of Marigolds Way. She bled from the nose when stopping with alarming alacrity at Wincanton in March, but if she's none the worse has the best claims over a trip she should stay.
19:50 - Not much in the way of established hunter form in the next, and even the point form on offer doesn't looks anything out of the ordinary. Arbour Hill and Global Party at least arrive on the back of wins, and even if the ins and outs of those successes are nothing to write home about - particularly in the case of the latter - it should be enough to see at least one hit the placings.
20:20 - None of the newcomers in the bumper make any obvious appeal on paper, so it's a race best left to dual winner Bahira, with a replication of her previous form more than likely to prove enough to see her score once again.

The praise for the brilliant Frankel has rightfully been flowing from all quarters the last couple of days and there's nothing I can add, but I enjoyed it. Anyway, it's quickly back to reality with Monday's placepot from Chepstow......
Staggering scenes on the Rowley Mile yesterday and while we're unlikely to see anything similar today, quality action still abounds and placepot payouts could well be bountiful......
The dividend at Newmarket on 2000 Guineas day last year was a whopping £1,885.10, which is incentive enough to have a crack today, for all the HQ card looks difficult to navigate, though the strategy is going to have to be small stakes and plenty of lines......
