HANSHIN DIRT   07 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Hanauma Beach to set a genuine tempo from the inside draw, kept honest by Daishin Lealea. DAISHIN LEALEA (4) strung together three minor placings before a disappointing effort last start when ninth, beaten 8 lengths, over 2000m at this track. Yet to win at the distance but has recorded five minor placings. Sure to bounce back. HANAUMA BEACH (1) is a maiden after four starts. Was there until straightening last time out before fading to finish fourth over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will play a major role. KOKODE IKKU (12) raced below his best last time when eighth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten 11 lengths. Nicely placed to turn things around. WIDE KRIEGER (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in seventh over 1800m at Kyoto. Capable of featuring prominently in a modest affair.
