Ultra-consistent this prep, placing in five straight including 2nd at Izmir on 6 Jun over 2000m (58kg, GOOD) behind Mogol in a field of 6. He owns strong figures at Izmir (27:4-12-6) and at 1900m (3:1-1-1), and with A.sözen taking over another honest showing is on the cards.

Elite Izmir record (9:6-1-0) and unbeaten with A Meh Altin aboard (3:3-0-0). Was 4th of 6 over 2000m here on 6 Jun behind Moğol, having previously won the 1900m here on 23 May with 58kg, defeating Moğol; that profile reads well for this venue.

Draws barrier 2 and has been effective from low gates, posting 2 wins, 4 seconds and a third from 14 starts when drawn 1–3. Track and trip returns at Izmir 1900 sit at 5:0-1-2, and he did score over 2100m at Antalya on 26 Mar, defeating Victory Waltz. With the favourable draw and a solid Izmir profile (14:1-2-5), he profiles to be competitive for a placing at this trip.

Back up quickly after finishing 5th of 7 over 1800m at Bursa on 12 Jun carrying 58kg. Prior, he posted consecutive wins at Elazig (1600m on SOFT, then 2000m) before a 2nd at Izmir over 1600m with 60kg behind Pastitsio. With a solid this-season record (18:5-3-3), he looks to hold his form.

Rises 500m to 1900m, a trip at which it has a (1:0-1-0) placing on the record. Last start finished 3rd of 6 at Bursa over 1400m on 5 Jun carrying 60kg on Good. Current rider Ay. Yildiz has a strong association (5:2-1-1), and from barrier 3 this sets up to be competitive at the longer journey.

Proven at Izmir and this trip with a (2:1-0-1) record at 1900 and overall track figures (14:4-2-4). Last start was 3rd over 1900m at Izmir on 23 May on a GOOD track (58kg) in a 6-runner race behind Frost Cat and Moğol, having won the same trip here on 6 April with Moğol 2nd. Drawn barrier 1, his established track/distance profile makes him a genuine contender.

Has a solid record at this track (6:2-1-1), and recent Izmir runs at 1600m produced a 2nd to Brave Orphan on May 16 and a 3rd behind Tiz A Bella on May 7. Last start was 8th of 9 at Bursa over 2000m on good, but that prior consistency and his track stats suggest he can rebound.

Consistent at Izmir with a (12:2-4-1) record, most recently 2nd over 2000m here on 6 Jun behind Tiz A Bella and 2nd again over the same trip on 21 May. Drops 100m and draws barrier 5; from barriers 4-6 he’s yet to win but has three seconds from seven runs. Recent form reads well enough to be competitive again.
