We've got five runners over the weekend: On the 17th, Irish Harp is in the opener at Kyoto (1400m dirt) with Yuichi Fukunaga in the saddle, and Belle Plage is in Tokyo with Yutaka Yoshida in the 4R, also 1400m over dirt. At Niigata, Harmony Fair tackles the 1200m dirt race before Miracle Rouge finishes off the meeting with Makoto Sugihara in the 1800m turf 12R. On the next day at Niigata, Mistoffelees is out with Yukito Ishikawa again, competing in the 9R and looking for revenge for that less than brilliant outing the last time they paired up.
Looking further ahead, Single Cask is being lined up for Niigata on the 24th in a 1200m dirt race for young jockeys only, and Dinner Bell should be out on the same day at the same venue. That run will almost certainly seal her fate - Mephisto Waltz has already been retired, and if Dinner Bell can't pick up the pace, she will doubtless be joining him. Not long after, on the 1st June, Divine Daughter will line up for the 1300m dirt race at Tokyo-Fuchu, but might tackle Niigata in the week before if she looks good.
On the NAR front, Phosphorus will run at Kawasaki on the 19th May in the 1500m 4R, while plans are afoot to get Monsoon Trough out and about as soon as possible. As things stand, a debut for the end of June or early July is being mooted.
