HANSHIN DIRT   19 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Lance Of Love leading the way. MOZU PLUS FORT (10) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Working up to a win. Worth following. NIHONPIRO LOCUS (2) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. NABUCCO (12) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. JAKARTA BAO (9) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
