HANSHIN DIRT   20 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Margot Gaia to take charge ahead of Flow Magic at a solid tempo. UNNATAMSA (6) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be at her peak now. Expected to be in the finish. MARGOT GAIA (14) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Can cross and take up a prominent position. Will take running down again. ROSA DORADA (9) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1600m at Kyoto. Among the chances while fresh. AKINO BEAUTY (11) resumes from a spell of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1800m at this track. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
