"Today, she did a light canter. She's pulled out of yesterday's strong work well and I'm happy with her condition. We let her work at her own pace this morning, away from Sahpresa and her accompanying horse. She's eating well and I'm satisfied with her form. We will do a canter tomorrow, a bit stronger than today. If it's necessary, we might do some strong work over about 200m on Friday, but it's all up to our trainer who arrives today."

"We did a light canter twice this morning. She did her first strong work after arriving in Japan yesterday morning, and she's maintaining her good form. She has a good appetite and looks fine. She hasn't changed since she's arrived in Kyoto. Tomorrow, she'll do a stronger canter than this morning, and I don't know yet if she's going to do any strong work after that."
