The 'Ganbatte Kochi' race was won by Toshihiro Nishigawa on Saturday, with the delightful Mai Beppu a very close second. Poor Mai-chan was second last year, too. Third time lucky, eh? At least everyone got home safely, and I look forward to continuing this as an annual event - the good folks at Kochi certainly deserve some support.
Pop Label runs at TCK on Tuesday with Taito Mori in the saddle. The Sunburst Cup has an awful lot of strong racers in it, so it will be a real test that will go a long way towards telling us if Pop can regain the form of his youth.
In JRA racing, Harmony Fair's races are all heavily oversubscribed at the weekend, of course. However, Irish Harp, Time For Love and Rush Attack will hopefully be in action. In Australia, too, a busy weekend in store, with both Pretty Gully and Raining Dollars lining up at Townsville.
In England, River Spirit will be running in the Class 5 Monsterbet Selling Stakes race over six furlongs, which is the 6:15 at Wolverhampton on Friday, while Porthos Du Vallon should be there on the following day. There's a chance he'll also run at Leicester on the 27th!
