Joyful Step is back at Miho Training Centre - at last! If you remember, she passed her gate test and then got injured, so has never been near a race track. In reality, there's still no guarantee she'll get near one now, as she is way behind all the other three-year olds in the experience stakes, and had real chance to build up her body to a competitive level.
Talking of strangers to the track, Belle Plage makes a welcome - if long overdue - return. This horse was fourth and then second in her two races, but the last outing was July, so I don't think we can expect much. Nonetheless, she is booked for the 1200m turf race at Fukushima on the 27th, with Hiyato Yoshida in the saddle. Irish Harp, another Carrot Club filly, should race at Kyoto on the same day in a 1400m dirt run, with Kenichi Ikezoe at the controls.
Looking still further ahead and switching to both NAR and the Shadai TC, with luck, Phosphorus will be out on the 8th or 9th of May at Funabashi.
