Blacklister started as favourite but got a bit of a rough start and never really recovered, so had to settle for sixth after a cruise in at the end. A bit of an off day, then, but he'll be back - that's one thing you can be sure of with this fella! Sayesse is the next English runner, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the results. Another one to look forward to is Danielle's Journey running in the opener at Perth tomorrow.
On the JRA front, it's a shame that Belle Plage can't run at the weekend (not enough gates in JRA, as usual), although Larressingle to set to challenge the 4R at Tokyo-Fuchu on the 24th with Christophe Lemaire in the saddle. It means at least we have one of Ogata-sensei's horses in action, and will give us six horses racing in five days if we include the weekend nags.
Irish Harp's Urawa run has been shelved in favour of the 7R at Tokyo-Fuchu on Saturday (the 23rd), which is a 1400m dirt race; the jockey is Kazuki Kikuzawa - the son of the trainer, who qualifies for a lower weight as a rookie. War Chronicle should be back in action after a long time away from the track on the 30th, and Perfumer has returned from Northern Farm, so should be out soon, too.
