WOLF RULES (7) Was fighting out the finish when winning last run around here. Unbeaten this campaign with 2 wins from 2 runs. Ayhan KurşUn and İBrahi̇M Beki̇RoğUllari form a proven partnership. Will give a big sight. HAVACI (4) Tidy run when 2nd last start at Adana and solid career start. Gains the services of jockey Seli̇M Kaya. Goes very close. BALLAD KING (1) Won narrowly last run at this track and good career start. Hakan YüZbaşI stable are having a great run of late. Expect to go close. GOLDRAKHAN (3) Came in 5th last start around here but putting a tidy record together. Ahmet çEli̇K rates highly and can find a nice position from the draw. Keep in mind.

Won narrowly last run at this track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Hakan YüZbaşI has been training plenty of winners recently. Reasonable chance.

Odds of $5.50 and not competitive when 8th last start at Antalya but can save some energy from the gate. Dropping back to a shorter trip. Place hope.

Started at $7.00 and finished 5th last start at this venue but promising career start. Ahmet çEli̇K is a key engagement and has a positive barrier. Will be around the mark at good odds.

Placed 2nd last start at Adana and showing consistent performance in races. Added confidence jockey with Seli̇M Kaya doing the steering. Strong claims.

Started at $20.00 and lacklustre showing when 6th last time at this venue. H Karataş adds value. Others much better.
