Phew!!! Decided to put an extra bet on Corsica at the last minute

Big betting race of tomorrow is the Bunbury Cup, hot looking race but here's my idea of a good value bet
14:35 Newmarket Freeforaday - Showed massive improvement upped to 7f last time out when running the Falmouth Stakes placer Rainfall amongst others to just over 5 lengths in a fast run Group 3 at Royal Ascot. Prior to that he'd run Parisian Pyramid (run well since) to a length at Goodwood in a 6f handicap when taking on older horses and on his season appearance he ran down the field in the 6f 3yo sprint won by Jack My Boy (with Bagamoyo in second). John Best is a trainer in form with a number of good winners in the past two weeks and the step up in trip represented a step forward for Freeforaday last time out and there's a good chance that his hold up racing style will enable him to stay on through the pack in this race, he's one of the few relatively unexposed horses in the race and runs off a lightweight tomorrow.
Will be looking to get an E/W on this no price yet but its 23/1 on betfair.
Been a few hurdle horses which have come back to flat lately and done well in the long distance races this is over 1m4f, Ellison's horses are in very good form and Dale Swift who rides and takes 7lbs off tomorrow has been on a good few of them, with that claim its on a mark around 80 and its last win on the flat was on 79 in the Cumberland Plate when it scored a impressive 5 length win over the 1m3 1/2f its had a win and a close 2nd and a 4th over hurdles at + 2 miles went over fences for the first time when last seen in May hopefully its recovered from that bad run and still holds its flat form.

July Cup - top class G1 sprint with a short priced favourite
15:10 Newmarket
Varenar - It's well known on here that I follow racing in various countries around the world and this French colt is one of the few in the race who'll appreciate the stiffer track at Newmarket compared to Ascot. A Group 1 winner as a 3yo on Arc day at Longchamp when his victims included star filly Goldikova he's taken a couple of starts to come to himself this term, with a defeat at odds-on in Germany preceeding his run behind a number of todays rivals, most notably Starspangledbanner (raced on favoured stands side) and Fleeting Spirit (led them home on the far side). Varenar was on the unfavoured far side at Ascot and as such had little chance of winning with a smaller group of horses to race with, fewer pace angles and although he was beaten over 4 lengths the last day I expect this track to suit him much better and he should be finishing strongly at the finish. Gerald Mosse replaces the injured Christophe Lemaire (broke his leg at Compeigne on Monday) and he's drawn on the favoured far side, with the likelihood of them all racing in one group being on the freshest of the ground should play into his strengths.
Advice: 2pts Win, 1pt Place @ 33/1 (William Hill, Ladbrokes)
Was at Haydock when it won over 5 furlongs on it's first run of the season. Was mightily impressive that day has been gelded over the winter, for mine ran too bad to be true at Ascot last time out something must of gone a miss. Stoute will have it ready for this and the return to 6 furlongs is a massive plus imo. Nicely drawn and the Stoute/Moore combo is the best in the business. The price of 16/1 represents excellent value on a top class lightly raced sprinter who was a beaten favourite last time out.
