HANSHIN DIRT   13 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Solid pace with Eiyu Sakura finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. JUDY IMERU (3) remains a maiden after 12 runs. Had plenty of admirers last time and finishing a close second over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Should camp just off the leaders and this looks an ideal opportunity to break through. GARDIENNE (1) was well fancied last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2.75 lengths. Going better than most of these and she looks the obvious threat to the top pick. EIYU SAKURA (15) went forward over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt last time and held on for third when second-up from a spell. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide and will be hard to run down again. ABIDANCE (10) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the lay-off she finished ninth over 1400m at this track. Has ability so don't underestimate.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 14th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on April 26 over 1200m, 25 len behind Tsarevna carrying 55.0kg at $279.90. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Recent form sound. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 14 at Niigata Dirt on May 24 over 1200m, nose behind Argyle Shore with 52.0kg at $2.30. The start before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 15 at Niigata Dirt on May 2 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Ambassade Neige carrying 52.0kg at $4.80. Rates highly after a strong run last time.
