Race 1

Prize Money: -

TATÇAĞ (1) brings strong overall figures (9:4-3-1) and was 2nd at Ankara over 2000m on 4 Jun; the drop to 1500m looks suitable after a 1400m win at Adana on 28 Mar. SIHIRLI JOVANKA (3) won at Kocaeli over 1700m on 26 May and now draws barrier 1, with a track win on the résumé. VICTORY STAR (5) owns a Kocaeli 1500m placing (track/distance 2:0-1-0) and was 2nd here over 1400m on 12 May; barrier 2 is a plus. MY LADY BUG (2) drops 700m after 2000m/2200m runs, including a 3rd at Ankara over 2000m on 28 May, and has solid inside-barrier stats (gates 1–3: 0-3-1).

Consistent overall profile (9:4-3-1) and proven from barriers 4-6 (5:3-1-1), now drawn 6. Latest 2nd at Ankara on 4 Jun over 2000m (56kg) behind Super Divo in a 5-runner race; drops 500m after a 1400m Adana win on 28 Mar (58kg). With that blend of form and draw stats, should be competitive.

Drops 700m in trip and draws barrier 3 after jumping from 8 at Ankara last time when 7th over 2200m. Prior to that was 3rd of 8 at Ankara 2000m behind Martina and My Catherine, and earlier 2nd at Adana 1900m to Super Divo; record from inside barriers is (5:0-3-1). With Y.gökçe taking over, this looks a suitable setup to hold a competitive spot.

Back to 1500m and drawn barrier 1 after jumping from 8, with A. Aslan aboard (combination 9:1-2-0), following a 6th of 9 in a 2000m 3UP HCP FILLIES at Kocaeli 12 days ago. Won two back at Kocaeli over 1700m on GOOD3, beating Save Your Tears, and has a 5:1-0-0 record at this track, so a competitive showing is feasible.

Backs up on a 7‑day turnaround after finishing 9th of 15 over 1400m at Istanbul from a wide gate, behind Power Maker. Draws better this time with barrier 7 and reunites with E. Aktuğ, having their only prior pairing in May. Best recent effort was a 4th of 15 at Kocaeli over 1700m from barrier 15, so a similar performance would see him competitive.

Comments

Draws barrier 2, an upgrade on last start’s 5, and his inside-gate record is strong (barriers 1-3: 7:3-1-1). He was 2nd at Kocaeli over 1400m on 12 May (5 runners) under Görkem Özçelik behind Creative Mind, and is (1:0-1-0) with this rider. Track/distance stats read well enough (track 4:0-2-0, 1500m 2:0-1-0, track/distance 2:0-1-0), so despite being winless this season (14:0-3-3) he can run well from the draw.

Kept on for 4th of 7 in a 3Y HCP at Kocaeli over 1500m on 2 Jun (55.5kg, GOOD), with Al Sarout winning and Alpha Junior 2nd. Earlier ran 3rd of 9 at this trip here on 14 Apr carrying 52kg. Track/distance record sits at (2:0-0-1) and barrier 4 looks workable, so another honest showing is within reach.

Drawn barrier 5 with Ha.gökçe aboard for Has.kaya, offering a straightforward setup. A 3yo by Papa Clem out of Lilian (by Mendip), and from this gate he should have the chance to find a suitable spot.
