SUN RACING’s tipster Templegate have provided his placepot picks for Newmarket this weekend – as Tote boost their pool to a cool £250,000.
Tote guarantee a pot of £100,000 for most weeks but boost it for special events on the calendar – including the July Cup on Saturday.

The Placepot is a bet where you select a horse to be placed in the FIRST SIX races of any meeting.

NEWMARKET PLACEPOT
LEG 1: CONTENT
CONTENT didn’t fire at Royal Ascot but is bred to be high-class and can prove it here.
LEG 2: DESERT VOICE, DANCING GODDESS
DESERT VOICE has won her past two starts in the manner of a classy performer and can take another step forward.
DANCING GODDESS makes her handicap debut from a fair mark with much more to come.
LEG 3: ROYAL DUBAI, TAFREEJ
ROYAL DUBAI caught the eye when second on handicap debut at Chester last time. He was doing his best work at the finish over 7f so moving up to a mile looks a wise move.
TAFREEJ didn’t have a lot to beat at Yarmouth but he travelled strongly and his rider’s claim takes care of his 6lb rise for that success.
LEG 4: CITY OF TROY
CITY OF TROY looked a hot prospect when winning on debut at The Curragh earlier this month. He saw out this 7f trip strongly and Aidan O’Brien runners usually improve a bundle from their first run.
LEG 5: STREETS OF GOLD, BIGGLES
STREETS OF GOLD caught the eye when third in the Jersey Stakes and looks progressive. He has a hefty weight but enough quality to figure.
BIGGLES ‘won’ in his group of the Buckingham Palace Stakes at the Royal meeting but was only ninth overall. He saves his best for this trip and has strong each-way claims with Ryan Moore up.
LEG 6: AZURE BLUE
AZURE BLUE landed a hat-trick of smart wins on the Rowley course here before pushing her form to another level by taking the Group 2 Duke Of York Stakes last time. She was always in control on the Knavesmire and kept finding when asked.
