Prize Money: -

EMPIRE MAN (1) Game effort to win narrowly last time here and has a good draw. On a winning streak the last 3 runs. Added confidence jockey with GöKhan Kocakaya doing the steering. Has plenty of claims. TAM TIME (2) Got the upper hand late when winning last time at Adana. Producing consistent results since returning from a spell. M A Solmaz has a high strike rate on board. Major player. SUNDANCE (3) Ran 3rd last start at Istanbul. Good place bet. GECENIN ATEŞI (4) Won narrowly last time around here and drawn beautifully. Could surprise at odds.

Narrowly clinched the victory last time here and drawn nicely. Won last 3 on the trot. Jockey GöKhan Kocakaya rates highly. Should go well.

Won narrowly last time at Adana. M A Solmaz does know the horse very well. Showing great form since returning from a break. Tough competitor.
