- jogged 1/2 lap, cantered 1/2 lap, walked 200 meters (dirt course)
(exercised from 7:31 to 7:41, ridden by Rene Piechulek)

“He looks like he’s adjusted to the atmosphere here and his work is going well. We will do a light canter tomorrow, and from there on, the trainer will decide after he sees the horse.
In his races he is always up front setting the pace, but it’s not because the jockey asks him to. It’s because he likes it there.”

Nightflower (IRE, F3, chestnut)

- jogged 1/4 lap, cantered 1 lap (dirt course)
(exercised from 7:31 to 7:41, ridden by Ilke Hildebrand)

“Her training at Shiroi went well and her condition is very good. She’s a tough and masculine filly but good natured.
She was a bit tense entering the course this morning but she’ll adjust to her new surroundings quickly so I’m not worried. Her workload tomorrow will be about the same as today.”

Trip To Paris (IRE, G4, bay)

“His trip over was good and he’s put back on quite some weight so we’ll have to put some work into him.
We’ll be walking on the grass today to see what the track is like and hopefully do some canter tomorrow then a little more stronger work on Thursday (on turf).
The jockey won’t be riding him until the race and Mr. Dunlop is due to fly in on Friday.”
