HANSHIN DIRT   14 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

RIBBON SHO 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Abundant pace from Vero Cuore, New Orleans and Lux Daisy vying for the lead with Bergun on their backs. NEW ORLEANS (1) returns from a break of ten weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and bets figure are here on the dirt. Bold showing is expected. LUX DAISY (15) boxed on to finish second last start over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 1.3 lengths when fresh from a spell. Yuga Kawada is a key engagement. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. NOBORI SHORYU (12) was narrowly beaten into third when second up last start at this track over 1200m. Reunites with Riki Takasugi who has been in the money two times when aboard. One of the contenders. VERO CUORE (16) last appeared when she finished tenth over 1400m at this track on February 21. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
