HANSHIN DIRT   05 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

A strong tempo is assured with Bel Air Force and A Shin Animo leading the charge. GENTLE BAROWS (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Likely improver with strong prospects. BEL AIR FORCE (6) ran below expectations last time at Kokura Dirt, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $8. Lightly raced and showed a lot more on debut the run before. No reason he cannot find winning ways. A SHIN ANIMO (13) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Should be winding up late again. SCHNEEGLOCKEN (10) finished 9 lengths from the winner in eighth at his most recent appearance over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
