HANSHIN DIRT   21 Dec 2025
 
GOING: M

MIKAGE STAKES 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Good pace with Ange Field, Pick Up Line and Danon Switch matching motors. PIEMANSON (6) is a promising galloper who wound up strongly to score latest. Loves the trip and should go close again. PROMISING STAR (5) wasn't far away last time when charged home from well back. Placed 2/3 course and distance. In the mix again. HIRUNO DE GAULLE (1) is nearing a win. Big finish over 1200m latest off a wide draw but best form is this trip and drawn much better. Likely to go well. GUN WOLF (4) finished second last time over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten half a length. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid claims.
