HANSHIN DIRT   05 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Cracking tempo with Great Son and Master Stone leading the way. CATCH A THIEF (10) is a six-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at this track over 1200m last time out after being in the firing line on the turn. Ideally placed to break the ice. AQUA MEISTER (7) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1200m at this track at his latest appearance. Ready to run very well. SHIOMIN (16) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths. Expected to feature with improvement to come. ALM APOGEE (13) finished third last time over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
