6-4 NAP FOR DAQMAN: Dolphin Village (WON 6-4) yesterday landed the Daqman nap at Leicester, and today he combs the five Flat-race meetings in England, looking for an edge to help him find another to go back to back.
BANKER BET TODAY: Daqman’s research leads him to expects some hot stuff at Sandown: Profitable is a banker to begin a smart sprint career and there could bea plunge on Charter later on. In an exciting battle of Alonsoa v. Pack Together, he takes sides with the DNA!
IT’S A PROFITABLE START TO SANDOWN
2.00 Sandown: Team Hannon’s form in this opener since 2007 is 134111, all the winners colts. Now they go for a four-timer with the Dutch Art filly, Renaisant, though she was mentally green at Windsor recently.
And there was strong early-mouse support for Clive Cox’s Profitable, very well bred for the occasion, by Invincible Spirit out of an Indian Ridge mare, and reckoned a future sprint star.
2.20 and 2.50 Bath Sir Mark Prescott likes this meeting – he’s had five winners here in the last four seasons – and his stable is expected to take off any time now after a late start.
King Calypso’s success was on a man-made surface and in slow time, and the others look exposed, so maybe Alba Verde (2.20) can score, stepped up in trip.
Prescott is two from two in the fillies’ handicap (2.50), where again his candidate, Soiree d’Ete, can step up against an exposed favourite.
I’ll bet 6 points Alba Verde to win 20, if lose 11 on Soiree d’Ete, with the same win-20 target, but with extra cover to recoup the six points from the first bet.
2.30 Sandown It’s Balding 3 (Belfilo), Johnston 2 as two stables dominate this race in the last eight seasons, though Johnston has blanked at Sandown getting on for two years now, and Snow Squall has the dual burden of a penalty and a rise in class.
Only Norse Star has won over the trip, but two grades lower than today. Top-weight Devilment and the Verglas grey Purple Spectrum are likely to get it, on breeding.
Big and scopey, Belfilo has been given a holiday since the Spring, when he took on the likes of Western Hymn at Newbury. His breeding screams for fast ground and 17.5 was too big this morning, though he is likely to need the run.
3.05 Sandown Among the fillies looking for some black type in this Listed is Pack Together, whose sire, Paco Boy, was unbeaten at today’s venue, winning the Sandown Mile back to back.
Alonsoa was impressive at Newbury and was trading a shade of odds on this morning. The early-mouse orange was 11.5 bar two, so I fancied the Hannon (at 4.6) would come in to make a market challenge later on, so he was my first position in the race.
I can’t tell you how I will deal with this heat later on, who know’s, but for the Daqman account I will cover Pack Together with a saver Alonsoa and do some short-odds doubles today, in case the early-mouse BETDAQ got everything right.
3.40 Sandown Three-year-olds are five in a row in this, with one of today’s runners, Alex Vino, from the Classic generation trained by Sir Michael Stoute, whose form in the race is 11034, both winners three-year-olds.
Vainglory is 10 now; Epic Battle and Dandy are now high in the ratings, while the stables of Qanan and All Talk N No Do are out of form. Carnevale has already been beaten by a Stoute filly, so I’ll go Alex Vino, saver Carnevale.
4.50 Sandown Michael Wigham is high on my list of shrewdie trainers and he’s two from three in races of this type on the Esher course: his unexposed Charter, William Buick booked, and 5.2 on BETDAQ this morning, could be a plunge horse today.
5.35 Yarmouth I can’t be with out-of-form trainers Christine Dunnett, John Best and Alan McCabe, and the rest of the contenders against the in-form Refuse Colette have poor form in the book. One for the Daq Multiples.
5.40 Bath Paul Morgan’s stable has scored one second (that’s your lot!) from 24 starters in two years and his Kelpie Blitz hasn’t scored since it was with Seamus Durack in 2012. Reads like a lay to me.
6.30 Lingfield Ishi Honest is too big at 9.8, well drawn and a bigger offer on BETDAQ this morning than Perfect Pastime, who was behind her at Brighton. Cyflymder has a penalty and Bertie Blu Boy’s stable hasn’t had a winner for 22 weeks.
6.45 Doncaster Winners by stall in the six years of this race have been 7, 7, 10, 13, 13, 15, with Roy Bowring winning it twice in the last four seasons.
Bowring is back for more, with his last year’s winner, Clubland seemingly facing a tough task from the one stall, and with Ace Master (in 11) having shown his best on easier surfaces. A day of sunshine at Donny would probably cost him his chance.
The grey Abraham Monro has run well in a big field sprint like this one and potentially is well drawn to place tonight.
