HANSHIN DIRT   19 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Birnbaum. RED ISTER (6) finished just a neck from the winner in second last start over 1800m at this track after racing handy. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LEVANTE CITY (10) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, clocking in 2.75 lengths from the winner as favourite. Ideally placed to score. BIRNBAUM (7) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects. MEISHO KASUGAI (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
