HANSHIN DIRT   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Solid tempo anticipated with Kurino Bergman leading the way. ZEN ESPOIR (14) is a three-start maiden who filled a minor placing at this track at the last run before spelling eleven weeks ago. Jumps from a wide alley but can make a winning return. INTERURBAN (2) remains a maiden after five runs. Met with plenty of support last time but could only manage to finish sixth over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. TAISEI VAINQUEUR (7) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work and looks close to a maiden win, the latest effort a third over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Fitter and among the main hopes. HAPPY DUN CHAN (6) was unplaced on debut then last start finished third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Not a great deal of depth here so he can find the winner's circle.
