ONE of the most dramatic racing festivals in recent memory continues today as Glorious Goodwood reaches day four.
SunSport’s racing guru, Templegate returns with his Placepot tips in a bid to help you claim a piece of the £200,000 guaranteed pot!
Liberty Lane has a soft-ground Cambridgeshire win and a Listed success here this year marking him out as a serious player
The Placepot is a bet where you select a horse to be placed in the FIRST SIX races of any meeting.
You can pick more than one horse in a race – you just multiply the number of selections in each race to calculate your stake. So for staking it’s 2x2x2x2x2x2 which adds up to 64 lines.
You can stake what you want upwards from 5p a line which would cost a total of £3.20. 10p a line is £6.40 and so on. Provided at least one in each race is placed, we get a payout!

LEG 1: Kyle Of Lochalsh, Mordor
KYLE OF LOCHALSH is fancied to go three better than last year’s fourth and land this marathon prize. He’s on the same mark, handles any ground and shaped with promise on his reappearance. He’s much more lightly raced than 12 months ago and looks primed to peak.
MORDOR should be right at home in these testing conditions and has lots of stamina.
LEG 2: Diego Ventura
DIEGO VENTURA is one of the few remaining in this race who goes on soft ground and has solid form over this trip.

LEG 3: Fifth Column, Rhoscolyn
FIFTH COLUMN can take another step up for the Gosdens. His only defeat this season came when a strong-finishing seventh in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, where he won his group and shaped like the best horse on the far side. He confirmed that when winning stylishly at Newmarket last time, and a 3lb penalty might not be enough to anchor this improving three-year-old who can beat his elders.
RHOSCOLYN has to come into calculations thanks to his proven liking for this sort of ground.
LEG 4: Big Mojo, Time For Sandals
BIG MOJO won the Molecomb here last year and has progressed at three. Unlucky in the Commonwealth Cup and ran a huge race in the July Cup. Strong claims back at 5f.
TIME FOR SANDALS was a surprise winner of the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and handles soft ground.
LEG 5: Socialite, Liberty Lane
SOCIALITE can get the party started. Charlie Hills’ four-year-old can take this prize with a bold front-running show. He quickened smartly to win at Windsor on handicap debut, shaping as though this extra furlong would suit. Lightly raced, progressive and effective on any ground, he could prove tough to pass from a handy draw.
LIBERTY LANE is the main danger, with a soft-ground Cambridgeshire win and a Listed success here this year marking him out as a serious player
LEG 6: Blue Orbit, Golden Brown
BLUE ORBIT is bred to relish testing conditions and was far from disgraced in a Listed contest at Sandown latest.
GOLDEN BROWN was a good second on slow ground at Newcastle last time so may enjoy getting his toe in again here.
