A Touch Of Sparkle made a satisfying debut at Down Royal, finishing fifth in the group that trailed in behind a runaway winner. At this stage, finishing safely is the main thing - she has proved she has stamina over a flat two miles, and jumping is her forte, so there is still a lot to look forward to with this pony. Teaming up with DJ in the Realta club, the jumps season should be an exciting one.
Meanwhile, while Gandvik has been retired (looks like a replacement is on the way), Blacklister has been entered for the 5:10 at Chelmsford on the 6th - a Class 6 Maiden Auction Stakes race over seven furlongs, and with Charlie Bishop in the saddle. We're certainly getting our money's worth out of this fighter! And in NAR, War Chronicle is making a comeback on the 6th at Nagoya, and Beat The Boarder tackles the 8R at TCK on the same day. Looking further ahead, Tenshinramman, Rush Attack and Single Cask should all be out on turf again on either the 14th or 15th, with Larressingle due to make its debut at the same time.

What's Running & When
Blacklister was a handy fourth at Wolverhampton yesterday, and has already been declared for a race at Newmarket on the 31st. In addition, A Touch Of Sparkle will be making her long-awaited debut at Down Royal on Friday or Saturday, kicking off our Irish campaign for the year.
Although Pop Label has been scrubbed from his next race, War Chronicle should be running at Nagoya any minute, and Tenshinramman and Rush Attack are both back at their respective stables, pointing to imminent race entries - we'll know more tomorrow on that front. Pretty Gully is being lined up for a race on the 3rd as well, meaning we are busy in England, Ireland, Japan (NAR and JRA) and Australia. That's good, as is the news that Million Ways will be sharing stable space with Magic Key at the Kawashima equipe in Funabashi...
PS. Pretty Gully has picked up a skin complaint, so is now set to race at Townsville on the 21st rather than the 3rd. Nothing happening in JRA, and Blacklister has also been pulled from the Newmarket race, so what was a busy week has fizzled out somewhat, with only the Irish runner left - we're in the last race on Saturday, by the way.
