HANSHIN DIRT   22 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace from Yorina Sweet, Guti and Strada Reale, with Mark Of Zorro and Remember Him on their heels. REMEMBER HIM (15) finished second last time over 1400m at this track to make it three minor placings from seven career runs. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on three occasions. Deserves top billing. ASK URBAN SEA (3) is on debut for the Yahagi stable. Three-year-old colt by Lord Kanaloa from Tanino Urban Sea. Looks set to run well. Betting holds the key. STRADA REALE (11) stepped out for his debut over 1800m at this track back on April 20 and finished tenth, beaten 10 lengths. Worth following up. TAMAMO SAIJO (7) is a three-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From a successful breeding line, being by California Chrome from Tamamo Manamusume. Promising type who should be monitored for market support.
