THREE EVENING BETS: Or make that late afternoon as the racing finishes early for a certain football match. DAQMAN’s NAP goes in the 4.35 at Bath.
POWER TO THE HORSES TO FOLLOW! A banker and an outsider. That’s the prospect for Fortune Cookies this week at the July Meeting starting tomorrow. A new addition, as Daqman maps out their proposed racing dates, is Norfolk Stakes winner Perfect Power.

WEMBLEY VIA WOLVERHAMPTON
It’s an early bath at, er Bath, and Wolverhampton this evening with the two cards brought forward ahead of a certain football match. Hopefully DAQMAN can bring you a few winners ahead of the semi-final from Wembley.
The evening action actually appeals more than Lingfield and Catterick where the testing ground has led to small fields and a growing list of non runners.
⭕ 4.35 Bath Holbache will be suited by any rain falling at Bath and can follow up a good effort under today’s pilot Mollie Phillips at Brighton last time out when the pair finished runner-up in soft ground to Tyger Bay.
The switch back from 6f to 5f could be the key point – both his career wins have come over the minimum trip and the early market signals on BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE are positive.
Chief market rivals Moonshiner and Cable Guy have big question marks. The former was disappointing at Goodwood last week whilst Cable Guy hasn’t shown much in three starts and is having his first start since being gelded.
MINDFUL OF THE BIG APPLE
⭕ 5.05 Bath Newyorkstateofmind won well over the slightly longer trip here last week and is taken to defy his 5lb penalty.
Joint trainers William Muir and Chris Grassick have sent out three winners from their last 13 runners including this fella who seemed to score with plenty up his sleeve and should again account for Shalaa Asker who was third.
A bigger threat may come from recent Windsor winner Buy Me Back although significant rain might be a negative.
BRIDGE NOT TOO FAR
⭕ 7.45 Kempton The final race before the big kick off – and also one of the most competitive of the day.
I thought Our Metha Bridge had strong place chances. He’s a dual course and distance winner who is slowly but surely returning to form. He comes into this on the back of a decent spin at Yarmouth last time out and is now 2lb lower than his last visit to Kempton.
DAQMAN’S BETS (staked to win 10 points)
BET 5.7pts win (nap) HOLBACHE (4.35 Bath)
BET 2.8pts win NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND (5.05 Bath)
BET 1.0pt win and 4.0pts place (both to win 10) OUD METHA BRIDGE (7.45 Kempton)
What are points? Points facilitate a staking plan, which is the secret to creating profit. One point is whatever you choose: a pound, a euro, or whatever ….
Start with a bank and decide how much you can afford to lose over a period of time, and determine the size of your bets accordingly. Daqman makes this variation every day.
