DOUBLE UP THE BIG HITTERS ON THE BETDAQ CARD: Daqman dares a Daq Multiples double on the Betdaq card at Kempton Park tonight on John Gosden and Donald McCain, whose stables became a punter’s benefit in the first half of the year.
Good morning for a good night. Not including maidens, John Gosden’s current turf form is 13311410 and Morning Charm (8.50) is expected to continue the stable spree at Kempton Park tonight.
The half-sister to St Leger winner Lucarno who was a one-time Oaks hope, Morning Charm is said to be back to her old self, working well with some of those winners that have put Gosden within firing range of Aidan O’Brien’s Classic-winning prizemoney haul.
6.20 Kempton Park (Win Big With Betdaq Multiples Apprentice Handicap): Four year-olds are going for four wins in a row in this but that would be to ignore Paphos whose sole win last year came in this race off a similar mark.
Paphos came back to form with a running-on third over CD last time out.
You would also be giving the cold shoulder to Aultcharn and apprentice find, Nicole Nordblad, who has landed 10 winners, only one of two in this race to have cracked a double-figure score over the last year
However, Nicole has a tough task with this front-runner, since he is drawn widest of all the 14 runners, alongside Zing Wing and Beautiful Lando, first and second over CD last month.
The other apprentice with the double-figure score is, of course, Darren Egan (25 winners in the past year), who is looking for three wins from four for Lady Mango, a four-year-old who has hit form under Luke Morris.
The remaining four-year-olds include Hawk Moth, who has shown a preference for the Wolverhampton surface, the triple course winner but out of form May’s Boy, and front-runner Spirit Of Gondree, livened by first-time blinkers when he won at Lingfield.
6.50 Kempton Park (Betdaq Mobile Apps/Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Fillies Stakes) Favourites are set for a four-timer in this, while Saeed Bin Suroor is on two out of two in three seasons.
Those stats could coincidence in Hoodna. The stable has a near-40% strike rate with two-year-olds at Kempton.
It didn’t have a runner when missing out in 2010; that year Richard Hannon, the Everleigh trainer, won it: he now saddles the eponymous stable hope, though Richard Hughes prefers Amberley Heights.
Iris Blue, March and Nardin could all or any improve on debut runs but I would have expected Iris Blue to want a softer surface as a daughter of Pivotal, and Nardin may need further on breeding.
So it is that I fancy a one-two for Hoodna and March, from another stable with a good juvenile record on the course (20%).
7.20 Kempton Park (Back or Lay At betdaq.com handicap): Can Marford Missile keep the prize for three-year-olds, who are unbeaten in this contest? Her CD win in March would say ‘yes’, but she has laboured on turf since.
Another hoping to bounce back to his Spring CD form is Black Cadillac, who found the minimum trip too sharp last time.
Peace Seeker returns to the scene of two of his three front-running successes on Polytrack and he’s drawn advantageously to try the trick again from stall five. Button Moon might take him on for the lead.
I’ll try six times course winner Street Power, whose only run over 6f since the Spring was a narrow defeat at Ascot.
7.50 Kempton Park (Betdaq Casino Games Handicap): Trovare and Iron Condor have been running in better class but four-year-olds have won this every time in the three years existence of the race.
The stand-out of that age group is Decana, a winner at Southwell and beaten in a three-way photo over shorter on today’s course.
However, I shall expect Emrani to defy the stats, sole Kempton raider for Donald McCain, as his stable impresses with a 5-13 strike-rate.
