HAKODATE DIRT   28 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Smart Ideal and Telikos leading the charge. TEN RED SUN (5) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1700m. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance. RAIKA (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when fifth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt four weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MEISHO TAIZAN (1) is a seven-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent appearance over 1700m at this track. Form prior was good for this and expected to be in the finish. TELIKOS (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing tenth and beaten 11 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
