20-1 LINCOLN WINNER AND 250 PROFIT: Daqman capped a sensational week with yesterday’s Lincoln Handicap winner, a bull’s-eye bet on Bravery, after landing the second division, the Spring Mile, to take his profit in five winning days out of six to 250 points:
WON 20-1 BRAVERY (Lincoln Handicap)
WON 8-1 BALLET CONCERTO
ALREADY 27 POINTS UP ON PRICEWISE: That made it 10 winners (12 returns) since Monday, including six consecutive hits, and it took Daqman straight into a 2-0 lead over Pricewise of the Racing Post, 27 points ahead of him to a level stake, their total wins now 409-171.
BANKER EARLY BIRD: Bravery was also one of three bets for Early Birds (so 18 points profit). There are two more today. And there’s a banker among them!~
SEE NAPLES AND (CAST YOUR) DIE
Low drawn, trained by Hannon, ridden by Moore. If only we’d known the formula at the start of racing yesterday!
But we didn’t do so badly, getting the Lincoln winner and a possible big-race double of 188-1 with only one of those credentials fed into our recipe.
And the problem with playing catch-up is that a winning scenario doesn’t last. Jockeys who spotted the draw bias were soon tracking over to the favoured side. Will that side now be churned up?
We can only partly anticipate the moveable feast. What we can do is stick to tried and tested stats and betting methods.
1.45 Doncaster All the handicaps were won by horses aged four and five yesterday, as we envisaged.
This is another mad cavalry charge but a young horse from a low draw, fielded by a stable in form..?
That gives my early-bird King Of Naples (13.0 on BETDAQ) a difficult passage from stall 19 and he has a tricky task at the weights with Gambit (11.5, gate 10) on form. Keep stakes low.
2.15 and 2.45 Doncaster Benbatl and another Early Bird of mine, Dream Castle, are both Group-1 entered in the two-year-old ’classics’. Dream Castle is the banker.
3.20 Doncaster Another cavalry charge. This time we have a Hannon contender, Ower Fly, well drawn in 4, and at 18.0 on BETDAQ this morning.
The Bravery combo of David O’Meara and Daniel Tudhope have Eccleston (at 14.5 offers) in stall 3, already a Doncaster winner, fourth in the Ayr Silver Cup.
3.55 Doncaster I liked Frontiersman last year but the question amrk is whether the ground has dried out sufficiently.,
PUT YOUR CHIPS DOWN AT ASCOT
Just when we’ve got our eye in on the Flat. Now it’s all about jumps ravcing again, with Aintree this week, and I shall start work on an ABC guide today.
4.15 Ascot Bob Tucker has his ground but needs a lot of forgiving, and 3m on good surface requires a speed finish as well as stamina.
So Im going to take him on with a bit of Loose Chips (14.5 BETDAQ offers), who is a completely different animal on a right-handed track, with eight wins clockwise but none going left.
4.50 Ascot Alan King is still well below strike, so I’m taking on Beneagles with two who will relish the extra distance, and who have the best jockeys: Pilansberg (5.0 offers) and Westendorf (7.2).
