WHAT A BEAUTY! 11-2 WINNER FOR DAQMAN: Mr Reliable, Daqman, left it late yesterday but all winners count and this one last night was another bonus for BETDAQ backers: Eesha Beauty (WON 11-2).

CUE VALUE BETS IN THE NURSERY
1.40 Sandown The Golden Cue is favourite for this nursery on the strength of a recent CD success here at Sandown, making virtually all the running and has stall 2 to help.
On the same day, Firenze Rosa was thought worth a crack at a Group 3 at Goodwood. She had earlier made all at Lingfield, and is next door, in the one stall, today. At 4.4 and 8.4 respectively, I can back both to burst clear together, and won’t care which one hangs on the better in their speed battle.
2.20 Thirsk The progressive Exhort looks tasty at a shade better than evens on BETDAQ this morning.
Must surely win this to justifiy her Rockfel entry, the only ride of the afternoon for Paul Hanagan on a day when he lays claim in the Racing Post to a third championship next year.
2.35 Bangor I’m putting up an Alan King horse in my Fortune Cookies next week for one of the big autumn handicaps. Watch this space,
Meanwhile, Kingy’s only runner at Bangor today, where he enjoys a 32% strike rate and his punters enjoy a 26-point level-stakes profit, is Saint Contest (3.6 offers), back over hurdles today, after keeping in shape on the Flat.
2.45 and 3.20 Sandown I warned you earlier in the week that John Gosden was due to open the floodgates on his two-year-olds. Both Dubawis, Emaraaty (3.45 on BETDAQ) and Graffiti Master (4.7 on BETDAQ), lucky to be split between the two divisions, could be among his autumn deluge, though he doesn’t have the greatest first-time win percentage.
3.55 Sandown This is a fascinating contest, with improvement expected from once-raced Robin Weathers, but a worry for fans of Pillar Of Society that his Newmarket romp was a lucky break – literally – in a slow time.
The Frankel filly Icespire went for some black type at Goodwood but has been dropped back to handicap company, as if she’s disappointing.
So I’m taking a chance (a 6.8 chance on BETDAQ) that Elucidation has grown up under the expert eye of Sir Michael Stoute, since running green in the Spring but revealing that today’s drop to a mile could bring the renaissance.
