HANSHIN DIRT   12 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

Solid pace from Kurino Olive with Ange Field and Meisho Horen also pressuring. MEISHO HOREN (2) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt six months ago. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has a high cruising speed and looks the leading contender. DIXIE GUNNER (13) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when fourth in a 1200m contest at Kyoto Dirt two months ago. Yet to miss the placings from six starts at this circuit. Should give a good account. ANGE FIELD (11) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Worth plenty of thought. OKOTAMPE (12) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fifth. Demuro goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can atone.
