🧲 Milton’s Extra Place System – Saturday 12 April 2025 Selections

Targeting outsider value where enhanced place terms open the door.


🎯 Intro

Saturday’s racing offers a bumper lineup of Extra Place (EP) races, spread across Ayr, Newbury, Thirsk, Nottingham, Brighton, and Bangor-on-Dee. It’s a classic setup for Milton’s Extra Place System – designed to extract value from races where the bookmakers are paying more places than usual.

We’re dialled into a clear formula:

  • 10/1+ runners

  • Place terms enhancement (3+ places in small fields, 4+ in most others)

  • Profiles with clear upside: course form, class drops, return angles, stable switches, or tactical changes

Let’s dive into today’s official selections – each qualifying via form, setup, and pricing logic.


Today’s EP Selections

🟒 Thirsk Picks

  • 16:30 – Desert Of The Sea @ 12.00

    New yard, now on turf with experience under his belt. With Sky Bet paying 4 places, he's a strong place candidate.

  • 17:40 – Mysteryofthesands @ 17.00

    Consistent profile, lightly raced over 7f, and drawn well to finish off late in a field that lacks standout pace.

  • 18:40 – Roundhay Park @ 15.00

    Slipped to a workable mark, has Brighton/C&D credentials and could take advantage in a race lacking fresh unexposed types.

  • 19:10 – Cash In @ 13.00

    Handicap debutant from a yard that can land a touch. Looks very well treated and could improve back on turf.

  • 19:40 – Calafrio @ 17.00

    C&D winner, returns fresh from a break with the right mark, and well drawn in a wide-open Class 6.


🟒 Nottingham Selections

  • 16:05 – Bama Lama @ 12.00

    Returns at her winning mark on favoured ground. Solid each-way case in a 7-runner race where Sky Bet are paying 3 places.

  • 16:40 – Sweet Sonata @ 17.00

    Unexposed, now back to ideal trip. Could sneak into the frame at a big price under apprentice allowance.

  • 19:20 – Star Of Atlantis @ 13.00

    Consistent on AW, looks well suited to the switch back to turf with stamina to see out the mile strongly.


🟒 Brighton Contenders

  • 16:59 – Professor Tickle @ 10.00

    Returns to Brighton off a layoff for a new yard. Course winner drawn well and has a sneaky place angle.

  • 19:30 – Havana Mojito @ 9.00

    Course winner with tactical pace. Returns off a mark he can be competitive from; Brighton specialists always respected.


🟒 Bangor-on-Dee Outsiders

  • 14:08 – Cullenwaine @ 11.00

    Irish raider with proven staying form and a win angle. Hard fit and sneaky form line.

  • 16:34 – Shantou Express @ 11.00

    Back down in grade, has gone well off a break and carries strong past form for a race of this depth.


🟒 Ayr Highlights

  • 14:15 – Cracking Rhapsody @ 12.00

    Solid place form in strong handicaps. This race could play to his strengths with Sky Bet paying 4 places.

  • 15:35 – Flash De Touzaine @ 21.00

    Placed in this race in 2023, comes in off a win, and has stamina in abundance. Huge price, big upside with 7 places on offer.


🟒 Newbury Each-Way Angles

  • 14:00 – Maw Lam @ 29.00

    Group-placed filly from last season stepping up in trip – massive price for a known engine and could easily sneak into 5 with the right setup.

  • 14:35 – Noble Champion @ 13.00

    Progressive type with tactical pace and form. First-time tongue tie worked well – could carry it into the frame today.

  • 15:12 – Great Acclaim @ 23.00

    Down to a winning mark and prepped perfectly for this. Price makes the each-way angle irresistible.

  • 16:54 – Expressionless @ 15.00

    Back to winning mark and returns under ideal conditions. A slow burner who could pick them off late in a field with no depth.
