Hanshin   15 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

YUKIYANAGI SHO 2400m

Track:      

Good early pressure with Golden Pagoda or Satono Richard likely to take up the running. KISHIDANCHO (2)was too good on debut then put away again. Has big upside and looks a talented type. Expected to run well. SHADOW MASTER (3) is a talented colt expected to measure up over the longer journey. Expected to prove hard to beat. VALLOMBROSA (7) is better than last run. Has won fresh and should be ready to run well. GOLDEN PAGODA (6) has won at the trip which few can boast and has upside. Worth following up.
