HANSHIN DIRT   13 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

SANNOMIYA STAKES 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Revontulet. GRANDE PLAGE (9) battled on well to hold second last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 1.3 lengths when fresh from a spell as favourite. Yuga Kawada gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Has his share of ability and looks hard to beat in this suitable race. MOKKU MOKKU (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1800m in the G3 Antares Stakes at this track. Has the talent to take care of this field. GOLDEN CLOUD (16) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Among the better hopes. HAGINO SUSTAINABLE (6) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 1.3 lengths back in fifth over 2100m at Listed level at Tokyo Dirt. Backmarker who keeps coming. Don't underestimate.
