GENIUS ITV Racing pundit and tipster Kevin Blake stung the bookies for £1million with his Epsom Derby tricast.
And now he’s back with his massive Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 1-2-3 prediction.
Blake got the top three in last June’s Group 1 blockbuster won by 13-2 Lambourn.
He put up the Aidan O’Brien-trained winner at 11-1 and place-getters Lazy Griff (50-1) and Tennessee Stud (33-1).
Now Blake, who works as race planner for top trainer and Aidan’s son Joseph O’Brien, has put up three huge price hopes in Sunday’s blockbuster from Longchamp.
He is tipping 33-1 outsider Quisisana to complete a remarkble five-in-a-row for French trainer Francis-Henri Graffard.
Alexis Pouchin has ridden the five-year-old mare just once before but he gets the leg up in Paris.
Blake told At The Races: “She’s completely under the radar. She’s really overpriced.
“She’s from a family riddled with stamina, she’s bred to be a slow burner and her form has been really, really good.
“She beat Survie last time – and beat her well – and she has form tied in with Aventure and Whirl.
“I think she’s very much ready to go back up to a mile and a half and produce a career-best effort – she’ll need to.
“Soft ground is no issue, the draw is kind. I think she’s notably overpriced.”
Blake thinks Irish raider White Birch represents brilliant value at the 40-1 mark.
He hasn’t run on his favoured soft ground since May last year when he landed a Group 2 at the Curragh.
But he proved he can handle slightly firmer conditions too when seeing off Auguste Rodin on good to yielding that same month.
White Birch has raced only three times this year for trainer John Joseph Murphy but was far from disgraced in the Irish Champion Stakes last time out.
Should Longchamp get the forecast rain then he has the potential to run a big race.
Finally, Blake is snubbing Aidan’s market leader Minnie Hauk in favour of stalwart Los Angeles at an eyecatching 33-1.
Things haven’t gone to plan since his awesome Tattersalls Gold Cup win in May.
But the Coolmore lads – and Blake – are hopeful he can put form figures of 5-4-4 behind him on return to Longchamp, where he finished third last year.
Kevin Blake’s Arc de Triomphe 1-2-3 prediction
1st Quisisana (33-1)
2nd White Birch (40-1)
3rd Los Angeles (33-1)
