Comments

Prolific at this venue (16:8-1-2) and arrives in form, having won at Bursa over 2100m last time, defeating Şen Akyüz. Drops 300m to 1800m, where the record is (8:2-1-1), and draws barrier 1 with a strong low-draw profile (1-3:19:7-2-2); the partnership with E.akpinar has been effective (4:2-0-1). Well set up to run another bold race.

Proven at 1800m (16:2-5-2) and already placed at the track/trip (1:0-1-0). Last start he was 4th at Kocaeli on 2 Jun over 1500m in a 3UP COND on good ground, carrying 60kg from barrier 1 behind Lovibond and Chairman. Draws barrier 2 and teams with Tugay Alici (12:2-2-1), and the extra 300m looks a positive setup.

Consistent at this track and trip with (2:0-0-2) and an 1800m record of (12:1-1-3). On a 7-day turnaround after a 3rd at Izmir over 2000m on 7 Jun (56.5kg) behind Ultra Fast and Muğlalı Adnan, drops 200m and draws barrier 3 with N. Şen (52:5-5-8), so another honest showing looks within reach.

Ran 2nd at Kocaeli over 2000m in a 3UP COND on 4 Jun carrying 57.5kg, behind Lord Protector. Drops 200m to 1800m where it has placed in 1 of 2 and boasts a strong record at this track (30:6-5-8). A. Yildiz rides again with a (4:0-1-1) partnership, and barrier 6 falls within a historically productive gate range (4-6:31:7-4-8), suggesting a competitive showing.

Outstanding record at 1800m and this track, unbeaten 2:2-0-0 at the track/distance and 6:3-1-0 overall here. Comes off a 7th of 8 at Ankara over 2000m on 30 May (won by King Malkoç) and now drops 200m fourth-up. Back to his preferred trip at a venue he likes, he looks capable of improvement.

Proven at Kocaeli over 1800m with a track/distance record of (1:1-0-0) and an overall 1800m record of (3:1-0-1). Latest was 5th at Kocaeli on 2 Jun over 1900m in a 3UP HCP carrying 61kg from barrier 8 behind Fire At Will, and prior he ran 2nd there over 1900m on 21 Apr to Osullivan. With Bozdağ’s 7:2-1-1 record aboard and solid local figures (Kocaeli 16:3-3-4), he appeals as a reliable contender.
