HANSHIN DIRT   15 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Looks to be plenty of pace with Maximum Vista and Emma battling for the lead. ALANA KOA (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 22 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes well this course and distance and can take this out. STOP YEARNING (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1700m at Kokura Dirt when returning from a spell. Among the leading chances. MAXIMUM VISTA (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Kokura Dirt over 1700m last time, finishing eighth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can make amends. TAGANO ANIMACION (10) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
