HANSHIN DIRT   14 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured with Geber, Bachalpsee and Lee Sam Guinea rolling to the front. BACHALPSEE (9) had a bit on his rivals at latest outing, recording an impressive win over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Gets some weight relief this time. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will play a major role. GEBER (7) is a handy galloper who was 0.8 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Among the leading chances. TRAVELIN' BAND (14) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Makes plenty of appeal. ADEL LIEBE (16) is a handy type who resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Only appeared once last prep when she finished fifth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2.5 lengths. Expected to cross from wide out. In the mix.
