Agua came home in fifth today, which sounds okay until you know how far she was adrift of all four of those ahead of her. She started sixth favourite, but I'd have had her down for a top three finish if she'd have run properly. I don't know when this dry spell is going to end - I can't rely on the JRA boys to do it, that's for sure, but I'd have thought the NAR gang could have pulled something out the bag...
PS. Seiji Yamazaki, the jockey, is saying she is getting better. I can't really say I share that conclusion looking at the figures. It strikes me she would be better at TCK, with its clockwise track, and a slightly longer distance - a mile would probably suit her perfectly.
