HANSHIN DIRT   21 Dec 2025
 
GOING: M

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: SOFT      

Solid tempo with Zero Snake leading from Vol Ster and B B Berzerk. ZERO SNAKE (6) was well fancied when resuming but found a couple better at Tokyo Dirt, finishing 0.8 lengths adrift at the end of 1600m. Yet to miss the placings at this trip. Expected to go very well. VENT AGREABLE (9) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 5 lengths over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so she is among the winning hopes. DEL AVAR (1) was well fancied last start over 2200m at Kyoto when fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Great chance to atone. TO THE MOON (7) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 8 lengths from the winner in third over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
