HANSHIN DIRT   22 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Expecting O Shin Half to take up the running with Don In The Mood and Lysine close at hand. DON IN THE MOOD (15) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 1900m in the G2 UAE Derby at Meydan Dirt at his last appearance on April 5. Has a perfect first-up record from two starts. Reunites with Kohei Matsuyama who has two wins from three rides. Clearly the one. SHIHONO PERFETTO (2) steps up in trip after scoring last time by a neck over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt on May 25. Down in the weights this time so another bold showing is expected. LEVANT UNIVERS (13) was in the market first up but could only manage fourth over 1800m in Listed grade at Kyoto Dirt last start. Won at his only try second-up. Right in the mix. AMBER DOLL (14) produced a better run last start, beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1800m at this track. No surprise to see him in contention.
