HANSHIN DIRT   07 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Habile and Taiki Jubilee can set an even tempo. HABILE (6) met with solid support last start over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt when second, beaten 3.5 lengths, to make it two runner-up finishes from as many race starts. Brings superior form to this race and should be going one better. TAISEI ZESTY (13) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1800m at this track. Fitter this time and looms as the obvious threat. TEN MAGIC HOUR (8) resumed three weeks ago over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt and was only beaten 0.7 lengths into fourth. Fitter and sure to run well. GERALLIST (7) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when sixth over 2400m at Kyoto eight weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Top four candidate.
