HANSHIN DIRT   14 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Keiai V Three and Stapes Shoma. ENDER DRAGON (16) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 13, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Best form is good enough to take this out. CORAL CROWN (2) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Should be hard to stop. HAKKOICHIU (11) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second at this track over 1400m. Should settle handy in the run and will have plenty to offer in the closing stages. STERNBILD (6) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a neck into second over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
