C'mon Phos!

Phosphorus has drawn gate two in the 1600m C1 10R at Kawasaki tomorrow, with Shun Ishizaki in the saddle. All you can do is keep your fingers crossed, I guess... Pop Label is booked for TCK's 1800m 12R on the 8th April, but we never seem to get a gate berth there, so we can probably forget it.

As usual, the JRA horses are wasting time that they don't have. Summer will be upon us in a minute, and then the last-minute chaos starts as the seasons change again, and there's never any gates available. Tenshinramman is supposed to be looking good, so can hopefully end a long and incredibly disappointing run of poor performances at Fukushima on the 18th. Of course, the R&R session has been a long one, and while the 1800m turf race should suit her, she'll almost certainly be full of race-rust and then after a ton of excuses, disappear on holiday again. Miracle Rouge is supposed to be at Nakayama on the same day, but in a 1800m dirt race. As a dirt debut, this could either be very interesting or a complete disaster.

As for the foreigners, the English pair are coming along gently, and Pretty Gully is expected to run on the 26th April in Australia. A Touch Of Sparkle missed her scheduled debut in Ireland, but should run in a P2P race. In reality, the Irish point-to-point scene is very professional, and the race should serve as an excellent bit of experience. Danielle's Journey should be out again soon, hoping to build on her 1-2-0 from three record.
