Phosphorus delivered a typical return run from a long lay-off, with Kota Motohashi letting him cruise in in eighth. He had looked pretty handy until the last corner, but then his lack of race conditioning showed through and there was no point pushing him hard - there's always the next race. Talking of the next one, there were thoughts of running him at the next Kawasaki meeting, but after Kota's post-race debriefing, it has since been decided to wait for the next Funabashi one instead (in the first week of December), by which time he should be back in tip-top condition.My favourite girl, River Spirit, was third in England yesterday, but came very close to victory. From 15 runs, she will end my term with her with a 1-2-3 record, and that's something she can certainly be proud of. With her spirit - excuse the pun - I'd love to run her in NAR out here. For sure, her next owners will be getting a special little fighter...
Danielle's Journey should be in the 4:10 at Down Royal on the 1st - a two-mile flat race that will mark her debut, appropriately enough in Northern Ireland's most prestigious meeting. Tenshinramman and Miracle Rouge should be in action in Japan on the same day, both looking to recover some long-lost form.
