My 2 for tomorrow...

July Cup

Fleeting Spirit - Doesn't need much explanation really, top class filly and don't see any reason why she can't replicate last years success. Ran a blinder on her comeback run and will come on for that and will be hard to beat IMO.

Bunbury Cup

Gallagher - 'Group horse in a handicap' is usually a term given to an unexposed improver considered to be a potential group horse. Well Gallagher already has 'group' form in the book in the shape of being runner up in two group 2's and a group 1 as a 2 year old. His 3 year old campaign started with finishing 4th of 16 just under 4 lengths behind Ouqba in the group 3 jersey stakes followed by a victory in a conditions event over Plum Pudding who actually went on to win this race last year after that defeat! That was followed by a disappointing effort over a mile on soft ground (so excuses) and then only 5th of 9 in the group 2 Hungerford stakes.

Two runs as a four year old so far were a spin out at Meydan which I don't ever figure into calculations and a pipe opener last time in the Wokingham which was over probably too short a trip at 6f finishing 10th of 27 staying on same pace and making no impression. That should have put him spot on for this and with Brian Meehan's horses now running a lot better than they were I think the horse has a cracking chance and well worth an interest at 16's.

Will be having an e/w double...

Happy punting!

Overrule is 28/1 so nice E/W for me.

Was going to do Showcasing E/W but CP has made a great case for Varenar didn't know it had beaten Goldikova last year so on @ 33/1 E/W

Done Overrule @ 18/1 E/W without the Johnston runner Bay Willow which looks a good thing and is being well backed.

Palace Moon 8/1 E/W in the Bunbury Cup backed it last time when getting a staying 3rd and its on the same mark so no reason not to back it again.

Varenar only sixth - ran on v v well though and was hampered early on.
