HAKODATE DIRT   28 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1000m

Track:      

Solid tempo from Ingram, Ja Nalia and Vitamin Drop battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. INGRAM (7) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1000m, beaten half a length. Cherry-ripe now. Big chance to score. VITAMIN DROP (8) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1000m, beaten one length. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Hard to beat. JA NALIA (9) missed the frame last time when fifth at Hakodate. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Should be prominent from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. ECORO SERENA (1) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths at this track over 1000m. Well placed to turn things around.
