HAKODATE DIRT   21 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

HIYAMA TOKUBETSU 1700m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Kurino Kingman taking up the running ahead of Red Lightning and Guimard. CHARLIE (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m on March 28. Strong run in a tougher race before a spell Has ability and expected to go close. JUN LA TOUR (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 30 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1700m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. GUIMARD (1) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when he was prominent at the bend before being beaten 0.7 lengths into fourth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Likely improver with strong prospects. LIFE GATE (9) finished third at Tokyo Dirt two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, finishing 13 lengths back in 13th. Well placed and should be in the mix.
