HANSHIN DIRT   07 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace with Deep Three, Kung Fu Jon and Tana Supernova pushing forward, closely attended by Joan and Let's Enjoy. Plenty of pressure and expect JOAN (8) to stalk the leaders .Boxed on well on debut and better for it. Drawn closer and can get off the mark this time. TANA SUPERNOVA (9) finished 1.4 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at Fukushima after being prominent at the bend. Steps up in distance today. Speedy type who will take catching. HARD THINGS (3) is still a maiden after five runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing eighth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Gave a huge start but got home well. An inside alley is a big advantage. Winning prospects. DEEP THREE (2) was well fancied on debut and gave a sight but dropped out when beaten. Much better for it and worth another chance.
