HANSHIN DIRT   21 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Tagano Abandonne has good gate speed and can overcome the wide draw to lead. TAGANO ABANDONNE (12) opened this prep last start with a fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. That was in stakes class and will find this far more suitable. Won only try course and distance and expected to bounce back. CHRONUS BULLET (4) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Enjoys a drop in grade so he can play a big role. KURINO FIGARO (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 6 when beaten 5 lengths into fourth at this track over 1800m. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. RED LIBERTA (13) finished third last time over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
