Started at $4.60 and looked flat when 7th last time at Istanbul. In a purple patch of form since coming back from a break. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Backs up quickly. Started at $46.00 and was ordinary when 14th last start at this track but stepping up in distance. Jockey GöKhan Kocakaya rates highly. A difficult test here.

Odds of $3.80 and ran 4th last start here. Expecting improvement. Ahmet çEli̇K is a crucial engagement. Has a good chance.

On a short turnaround. Was $51.00 and underperformed when 15th last time here but going up in trip. Can save some energy from the stall. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Fresh today after a break of 39 weeks. Brave effort to win narrowly last run at this track and having second career run. Going up in distance. Good prospects.

Jumped at $14.00 and lacked competitiveness when 8th last start at Bursa. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.
