BY TÜRKOĞLU (1) Snagged a narrow win last time here. Undefeated last 2 runs. Added confidence with Ayhan KurşUn doing the steering. Will go close today. KRAL SULTAN (4) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time around here. Mehmet Fati̇H Kaya is very comfortable aboard. Go close. ALMUTANABIY (3) Came in 3rd last start around here and has the ideal alley. In good racing form since resuming from a break. Betting may tell the tale. METINCIM (2) Ran 2nd last time here and drawn nicely. Jockey H Karataş is in form. Take on trust. Something for the Multiples: BY TÜRKOĞLU (1)

Was fighting out the finish when winning last time here. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts. Ayhan KurşUn has multiple wins aboard. Strong claims.
