Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back on Friday

What is a Lucky 15?

A Lucky 15 is one of the most popular multiple bets among horseracing punters and the clue is in the name as a Lucky 15 consists of 15 bets on four selections in different events. That equals four singles, six doubles, four trebles and a fourfold accumulator.

The beauty of the Lucky 15 is that only one selection of four must win to guarantee a return and the majority of bookmakers will offer incentives to play the bet.

Gogo Yubari 12.45 Lingfield
Very productive on AW in the first half of 2024, scoring five times; has made the frame four times since, most recently on Monday; attractively weighted off last winning mark and Morgan Cole's 5lb claim is a bonus; has a very good record (1211) at this course; strong credentials.

Overnight Oats 2.15 Lingfield
Resurgent 5yo who won four in a row on AW in November/December; his winning streak came to an end at Wolverhampton (9.4f) on Boxing Day but he had a wide trip in that race; remains well treated on old form and his last run at this trip resulted in a strong-finishing success; key player.

Lattaash 5.00 Southwell
Third in a competitive Newcastle handicap (7f; first-time cheekpieces) before comfortably making the most of a simple task back in novice company at Wolverhampton; looks on the upgrade.

Bella Kopella 6.30 Southwell
Despite a fine record over 7f on the AW (212131) this will be her first attempt over this far since November 2023; now 7lb below her last winning mark and her sixth of 12 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last month (form worked out well) suggested she was ready for a step back up in trip; interesting.

How to calculate your Lucky 15 returns?

How much your bet returns will depend on how many selections win, and their respective odds. For example, if two of your selections win then you can expect to be paid on on two single bets, and a double of the two selections. If three selections win then you can expect to be paid out on three singles, three doubles and a treble, and so on.
