HANSHIN DIRT   15 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

KONAN STAKES 1800m

Track:      

Framlingham has good gate speed and likely to set a genuine tempo with the advantage of the inside draw. TESTIMONE (5) is back from a three months spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt at the start of last prep. Will be tough to beat. GOLD DYER (12) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing 11th over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt last start. Disappointing last time but was a course and distance winner the start prior. Capable of a better run. KANETOSHI GOAT (9) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt on November 16. Comes here with definite top-three claims. TAMAMO CALICOT (11) last raced when successful by a neck over 1800m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and three placings. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
