HANSHIN DIRT   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Genuine tempo from Pearl Front leading Haru Frontier. REMEMBER HIM (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt after being prominent at the bend. Back in great order and is ready to go one better. PAYS DE LA LOIRE (3) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish again. PEARL FRONT (13) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten only half a length. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ONE WAY TO HELL (6) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but weakened to finish sixth over 1400m at this track. Likely to be thereabouts.
