Hanshin   14 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 2000m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with Nori Nori Socks, Pika Kiwi and Narita Esperanza taking up forward positions. DANON THAMES (7) recorded a strong maiden win over 1800m at this track last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is a key runner. PIKA KIWI (2) has not raced since she finished second over 2000m at this track on April 12. Expecting a bold showing. NARITA ESPERANZA (9) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MEISHO HUNTER (3) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last nine weeks ago when he scored over 2000m at Fukushima. Capable of playing a big role.
