HANSHIN DIRT   20 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

Strong pace with Marble Halo and Meisho Drive crossing from wide out. LA LA BACCHANALE (9) was having her first run for the Yuta Sato team last start when she made steady ground to run into second over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt at the first run back from a spell. Looks to be in for a strong campaign and can go one better. IMMERSION (8) is a consistent performer with three minor placings from three starts this time in work. Ran on well last start when third over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. C'EST DIVIN (7) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Kyoto over 1200m on October 4. Ikezoe stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on four occasions. Should be involved in the finish. MEISHO DRIVE (13) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1200m at Niigata Dirt in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
