HANSHIN DIRT   05 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo from Serge Barows, Quinault and Taisei Jade battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. SKY STRIPES (10) returns from a spell of three months and did win first-up last time in work over 1800m at this track. Leading contender. SILVER RATIO (12) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt nine weeks ago. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Sure to be in the finish. VOCALIZE (3) has not appeared since he finished third over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt on January 31. Looks a strong top-three prospect. SERGE BAROWS (9) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 3 lengths at Chukyo Dirt over 1900m. Another bold showing expected.
