HANSHIN DIRT   07 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Unnatamsa and Alm Apogee will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. PENDANT (10) finished second, beaten a neck, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Hit the line hard and just missed. Can go one better this time. UNNATAMSA (9) ran a much better race at her second outing last start to finish second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt after being in contention on the corner. Take catching again. OLAVINLINNA (7) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a third over 1400m at this track. Worth including. DEA ATHENA (8) was well in the market on debut last start but finished a disappointing fifth at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m. Expected to improve sharply and worth including this line-up.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 15th of 17 at Kyoto on November 22 over 1600m, 11 len behind Altramuz with 54.0kg at $219. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, 14th of 16 at Hanshin on September 27 over 1600m, 13 len behind White Orchid carrying 55.0kg at $217.20. Last start 10th of 14 at Fukushima Dirt on November 22 over 1700m, 11 len behind Wing Blue carrying 55.0kg at $145.40. Hard to recommend on recent form.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, settled back and ran on when 6th of 12 at this track on September 14 over 1800m, 14 len behind Wayny Su with 55.0kg at $17. Second-up sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Kyoto Dirt on October 26 over 1800m, head behind Salicariifolia carrying 55.0kg at $14.40. Gave a sight and just missed latest. Should be right in the finish.

Improver with winning prospects.
