DAQMAN NAP TAKEN AT 5.0 ON BETDAQ IN TREBLE CHANCE: Daqman goes for a hat-trick of best bets today after back-to-back supernaps success. The treble chance is with a 5.0 BETDAQ offer at Kempton Park tonight. The supernaps were:
WON 5-6 GUMBALL (Monday)
WON 1-2 STEELY ADDITION (Tuesday)
EARLY BIRDS LIST TO LAUNCH THE 2019 FORTUNE COOKIES: Daqman’s trick of following specially selected horses and mixing them with promising spots on the racetrack started with Early Birds and built up a winning Fortune Cookies team that produced 1,151 points profit last Flat season. The 2019 list (below) will be revised every week, so don’t miss out.
FORTUNE COOKIES’ 1,151 POINTS
Looking for another Roaring Lion or Enable. That’s Fortune Cookies in a nutshell, finding and following only the best with Guineas, Derby and Oaks in mind.
But first there are the Early Birds, horses prepared for the Spring prizes and Classic trials, just as we started with a simple horses-to-follow list over the Jumps.
The 2018 Flat Fortune Cookies, which emerged from the early birds and was joined by our spots in the trials, made a profit of 1,151 points by season’s end.
There are AW horses in among today’ list. Don’t forget that Enable started out by winning on the new Tapeta track at Newcastle.
The 2018-19 jumpers would also have passed the 1,000 mark but for yours truly eliminating Tiger Roll just before he won his hurdles prep at 25-1, then took the cross-country at Cheltenham. Silly Daqman!
You can do better, bearing in mind that the principal reward from compiling and keeping horses to follow, and hot spots in running, is to create a focus on the quality and planning revealed by the major stables as the governing factor in your approach to betting.
The Early Birds
ADDEYBB (William Haggas) Has won twice after a long break and followed up last year’s Lincoln Handicap success by taking the Group-2 Sandown Mile.
AMADE (G Botti) French raider; targets the marathon at the AW championships.
AUXERRE (Charlie Appleby) Has booked Adam Kirby for the Lincoln after a sparkling piece of work with 2,000 Guineas colt Zakouski.
BELL ROCK (Andrew Balding) My man in the long grass says the Kingman colt has grown up over the winter. Late Guineas entry made.
CALYX (John Gosden) Not seen since impressive in the Coventry Stakes. Entered up for the big sprints.
CLON COULIS (David Barron) AW Fillies and Mares championship contender.
DANCING VEGA (Ralph Beckett) The master trainer of fillies has another one here for an early trial to confirm Oaks prospects.
DUBAI WARRIOR (John Gosden) Goes to the Craven Meeting with this one.
EIRENE (Dean Ivory) With the stable striking at 40%, Eirene should be ready for Saturday’s Cammidge Trophy. Doncaster form: 123.
GLOBAL PROSPECTOR (Clive Cox) Scooted home from the worst draw at Wolverhampton after being tipped in this column.
HERMOSA (Aidan O’Brien) Hydrangea’s sister; split Iridessa and Pretty Polyanna in the Fillies Mile.
IRIDESSA (Joseph O’Brien) Forged clear in the Fillies Mile.
FLAVIUS (Dermot Weld) Highly rated. Lightly raced. Out soon.
JAHBATH (William Haggas) Another spot by this column when landing a Daqman banker at Kempton.
JUST WONDERFUL (Aidan O’Brien) Hands and heels riding to win the Rockfel.
KESSAAR (John Gosden) Powered through the mud to win the Mill Reef Stakes.
MADHMOON (Kevin Prendergast) Sire faster than Frankel; dam’s sire won the Guineas
NEW KING (John Gosden) Son of Frankel, wants a mile. Has had AW run.
QUORTO (Charlie Appleby) Winner of the National Stakes at the Curragh.
RAYDIANCE (Karl Burke) Gelded and working well but must have it soft.
SANGARIUS (Sir Michael Stoute) Unbeaten Kingman colt, expected to be a big improver.
SET PIECE (Hugo Palmer) A Dansili (they’re progressive) out of a mare closely related to Reams Of Verse.
SKITTER SKATTER (Patrick Prendergast) Moyglare winner with authority.
TEN SOVEREIGNS (Aidan O’Brien) Won the Middle Park like a champion sprinter.
THEMAXWECAN (Mark Johnston) Two out of two on AW this winter.
TOO DARN HOT (John Gosden) Winner of three top stakes races: Solario, Champagne and Dewhurst.
WEEKENDER (John Gosden) Sagaro Stakes target at Ascot confirmed.
WILLIE JOHN (Roger Varian) Won at Doncaster first run for Roger Varian after a 292-day break since scoring first time out for William Haggas. A horse with a very mature attitude, despite only four races in his short career.
WISSAHICKON (John Gosden) This year’s Early Birds betting started with Wissahickon. He was our first AW horse to follow who won twice for us in February but earned only a few points, making a formality of his races. The Cambridgeshire winner is odds on for the Easter Classic at the AW Championships but I think we can hang on to him after Lingfield and expect some bigger returns on grass.
Flat returns so far: 15.66 points profit to 20pt stakes.
STAR MOUNTS FOR BOY RIDERS
3.05 Lingfield (Ladbrokes Handicap) Charles Hills has two winners and a second from his last four starters.
He put up 7lb-claimer Cieren Fallon (2-2 for Hills) for a well-judged ride on today’s 4.0 BETDAQ offer Shanghai Grace here two weeks ago, the Kyllachy colt’s first handicap.
He has a fitness edge over Deira Surprise, who will have to give him 10lb. Wolver in December was her sole success and she’s been on a third break in as many starts, which is all a bit of a worry.
Richard Fahey hasn’t truck form yet but there was money last night for Pacino (9.8), dropped in class and needing a few pounds to raise his game to the level of the Chester May Meeting.
5.20 Market Rasen Form figures of 1011, still standing, including Chic Name which won for this column on Saturday. Now here he is again!
Who else but Jonjo O’Neill, junior, going for his 20th winner of the season on Siannes Star, for whom – I’m told by my man in the long grass – a first-time hood will make all the difference.
In a very low-level contest, Jonjo’s mount stands out as one who has run well on today’s tricky track, and trainer Brian Ellison has his team in top order, with returns of 14132 in the last 10 days. BETDAQ 5.2 taken.
GO FOR A ‘SPIN’ WITH THIS ONE
8.00 Kempton I may be unforgiving but I can’t for a minute imagine Unforgiving Minute putting back-to-back wins together only 12 days after the first leg.
Last time he did that, it was autumn 2014. No one on these islands had heard of Brexit, border backstops or flat-iron stakes from Nebraska.
As for Poetic Force, his Lingfield win in June last year has been followed by nine consecutive defeats yet, though most were in class 4 and 5, the handicapper has somehow contrived to hike him 15lb.
Last Page is a sprinter who broke a blood vessel on his latest start; Human Nature is 1-17, only a pound lower than for the solitary success; similarly, Call Out Loud is 2-24.
Folie Douze may have been flattered at 22-1 when Martin Harley poached a lead on the bend at Lingfield.
Add it all up and you get Corazon Espinado: you do the math. Since the end of January last year, his Epsom form up to a mile is 12312 and at Kempton 120 until a five-month break before a decent run back here recently.
With local trainer Simon Dow warning us last year that Corazon Espinado had ‘bags of scope,’ Kempton tonight and then the Epsom Spring meeting look logical targets. I took 5.0 on BETDAQ for tonight’s prep.
