Finished 4th at Izmir over 1900m on 6 Jun carrying 60kg from barrier 8, with Umut Tay winning. Strong record at this track (4:3-0-0) and a better draw in barrier 3, plus a solid 5:0-3-2 with this jockey, point to another competitive run.

Comments

Draws barrier 4, a gate range he handles well (barriers 4-6: 20:5-1-5), and he’s 1-from-5 at this track. Last start he finished 4th of 11 at Kocaeli over 1900m on 4 Jun carrying 60kg from barrier 10 behind Kader Gücü. He also won at Ankara over 2000m on 16 Apr, beating Taçyigit, and the kinder draw today should help him hold his form.

Fresh off a Bursa 1400m win on 29 May carrying 56.5kg in a 15-runner race, defeating Şeker Halhal, and now draws barrier 1 after barrier 5 there. Proven at 1800m (3:2-0-0) and at this track (11:4-3-0), with solid returns from low draws (barriers 1–3: 19:4-5-1), so a measured chance if he holds that form.

Ran 4th of 13 over 1500m at Adana on 31 May (56.5kg), behind Ilban Beyi. Earlier in the prep was 2nd over 2000m at Adana on 22 Feb, and owns a handy record from barriers 4-6 (28:3-5-11). With a 300m distance change, an honest season profile (13:1-2-2) keeps him in the mix.

Finished 3rd at Istanbul over 2100m on 5 Jun, beaten 0L under 55kg from barrier 2 behind Acun Tay and Cazgir Yaşar. Drops 300m to 1800m where he’s won his only start, but a 0-from-7 record at this track and no placings from 2 rides with Y. Gökçe suggest a measured outlook from a soft draw.
