Keshi Boom's Racing Comeback Gathers Momentum

The progress of filly Keshi Boom continues to please jockey William Pike as her much-anticipated return to racing gathers momentum, reports rwwa.com.au. All eyes are focused on the unbeaten Grant and Alana Williams-trained 3YO, who completed a campaign clean sweep that culminated in winning the Burgess Queen Stakes (1400m)-Champion Fillies Stakes (1600m) double. Having her second 950m hit out at Lark Hill on Monday, Pike said Keshi Boom (Spirit Of Boom-Pearls For Me, by Red Dazzler) took an important step towards her comeback in a four-horse heat. Keshi Boom ran a comfortable 1.5 length third and importantly was doing her best work late over the last 50m when bridging the gap on Savage One. Pike said Keshi Boom was on track for her race return. "I thought she peaked on her effort on her first trial, which is understandable. Today, every time I asked she gave me an effort and felt good in doing it," Pike told The Races WA. He adds, "She didn't miss a beat and her attitude was beautiful and her stride perfect. It was only a trial and I think she's going well." Pike believes that team Williams are likely to delay Keshi Boom's return until the Belmont season.
