There are two crons on your system, the regular cron (add jobs using "crontab -e" command) and anacron which executes scripts from the /etc/cron.daily (weekly, monthly, etc). The anacron is more for systems that are shut down a lot and might miss a job that is scheduled to run in the middle of the night. anacron would pick that job up when the system comes up.
Having said that if this is a server that's on 24x7 you could move those selected scripts out of /etc/cron.daily into another directory and then schedule each one individually to run at the exact time you want each day using the regular cron (crontab -e).
