Scored at Istanbul over 1500m on 12 Jun, carrying 60.5kg from barrier 10 with H Karataş, defeating Millennium Falcon. Solid course record (4:2-0-0) and goes well for Karataş (3:2-0-0); with a better draw in barrier 6 than last time, he can hold form.

Consistent at Istanbul (9:2-3-1), arriving off 2nd of 11 in a 3UP HCP 16 over 1400m here on good, carrying 59kg from barrier 10 behind Yargıç. Steps up 200m to 1600m and draws barrier 5, a more favourable gate given the middle-barrier record is (4:2-0-1). Holding solid seasonal form (6:1-3-1) and looks set to run well again.

Steps up 400m from a recent Istanbul 1200m 3UP OPEN on 17 Jun, finishing 8th of 10 with 55kg on Good in a race won by Bold Lion. His Istanbul record is (9:1-1-0), but at 1600 he’s 2:0-0-0, including a 22nd of 22 here on 24 May with 59kg. Draws barrier 4 with R. Kurt aboard; needs to lift at the mile despite some track affinity.

Won over 1600m at Istanbul on 24 May (22 runners) from barrier 21, with Crazyblood 2nd, and is 1:1-0-0 at the trip here. Since then has posted 4th-place finishes in a 3UP HCP 16 (1400m) and a 3UP HCP 15 (1300m) from wide gates; now draws 7, rises 300m, and backs up on a short turnaround, which looks a suitable setup.

Backs up quickly (6 days) after finishing 5th of 5 at Ankara on 23 Jun over 1900m in a 3UP carrying 57kg. Drops 300m and draws barrier 1, and has shown some effectiveness from inside gates (barriers 1-3: 3:1-0-0). With a (15:3-0-0) overall record, the rail draw and shorter trip could aid a better showing.

Kept on for 5th of 10 at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3UP OPEN on 17 Jun (barrier 3, 55kg), behind Bold Lion. Rises 400m to 1600m where he’s 0/3 (track-distance 0/2) and his CurrentTrack record is (10:0-1-1); drawn barrier 3 again, he needs to improve on those stats to be in the finish.

Holding form well with 4 placings from the past 5, including a 2000m Izmir win on 25 Apr over Lady Machiko. Last start ran 2nd at Izmir over 1300m on 14 May from barrier 12 with 56.5kg behind Modigliani. Draws better in 8 and tackles a 300m distance change, which keeps him in the mix.

Back on a short turnaround after a 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 3UP HCP 15 on Jun 21 (53.5kg), finishing behind Crazyblood and Sheer Force. Steps up 300m and draws barrier 2, with a handy inside-barrier record (1–3: 15:1-2-3) and a positive jockey combo (7:2-1-1). The 1600m return has produced 0-1-2 from 9 overall (0 from 4 at Istanbul 1600), so a placing hope with the draw and recent consistency.
