Best bets for racing on Thursday, July 2

NAP: Eastern Aria (Epsom 9pm) Mark Johnston's filly rarely runs a bad race and kept on well to finish second at Chester last time. Off the same handicap mark, she could take some catching under Joe Fanning around a track that looks likely to suit. NEXT BEST: Showcasing (Yarmouth 2.30) John Gosden's colt finished to good effect to take second place in a strong-looking maiden at Newbury last time and should be good enough to take this.
