I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

7

4,3

cash cow

'a source of easy money' is the definition.
(a cash cow is a reliable way of making money)

'realise daisy' is the wordplay.
'realise' becomes 'cash' (realise can mean to convert into cash).
'daisy' becomes 'cow' (daisy can informally mean a cow).
'cash'+'cow'='CASH COW'

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for cash cow that I've seen before include "money-spinner" , "producing high market share" , "Lucrative activity" , "Product or business making easy money" , "profitable business" .)
