Comes off a Kocaeli 1500m 3UP HCP win on 30 Jun, defeating Toulayna with 58.5kg, and also has recent Kocaeli wins at 1500m and 1900m. Now up to 61kg and draws barrier 3 after 6 last time, with a strong CurrentTrack record (4:3-1-0). Proven partnership with G. Özçelik (14:5-2-3) and solid trainer-jockey figures (6:3-1-1) point to another forward showing despite the rise.
