[AMEND]
…
“FFWin” refers to Final Field Win.
…
…
3.1 For ‘Top X Place Betting’ (known as Place Extras or Place+, a fixed-odds bet type separate from the traditional ‘Place’), Ffield size, track location, race type, price availability, and our discretion (not limited by any preceding factors) will determine what markets are open for a particular race. Markets aremay be available as follows:
(a) 8 Runners or more: FFWin, Top 2, Top 3, Top 4 with the possibility of Top 5, Top 6, Top 7, Top 8, Top 9 and Top 10
(ab) 65–7 Runnersor more: FFWin, Top 2, Top 3, Top 4
(bc) 45 Runners: FFWin, Top 2, Top 3
(cd) 43 Runners: FFWin, Top 2
(e) 32 Runners or less: FFWin only
In the event of a field reducing in size after a ‘Top X Place Betting’ wager is struck, dividends will be paid on all fixed odds ‘Top X Place Betting’ bets struck prior to the field being reduced, subject to deductions. See Rule 7. However, if, after a ‘Top X Place Betting’ wager is struck, the number of remaining runners in the race is reduced to equal to or fewer than the number of finishing positions covered by the relevant ‘Top X’ selection, all affected bets will be void and stakes refunded.
Top X Place Betting wagers may take longer to result compared to traditional ‘Place’ bets. This is due to the additional time it takes for the extended placings of a race to be confirmed.

(b) Deductions for Straight SRM bets. To calculate the deduction impact on an affected bet, refer to the fixed price of the scratched runner and the number of runners in the field at the time immediately before the scratching, find the corresponding value in the table below, then multiply it by the number of selections made within the Straight SRM.
As an example, imagine there is an eight-horse race and a Straight SRM was placed on that race for runners A, B, C and D, to place First, Top 2, Top 3, and Top 4 respectively. Runner E is scratched from the race late (after the bet was placed) and was showing a fixed odds price of $11. Per the below table, the relevant value is $0.05. As the bet had four selections in it, the deduction impact on a return from this bet would be $0.20 in the dollar, or 20%.
