Won at Istanbul over 1500m on 24 Jun in a 3UP HCP from barrier 10, defeating Make A Fire, and now steps up 500m to 2000m where he’s (2:0-1-1). Draws better in barrier 6 and has a solid record with B.kilinç (2:1-1-0), while a strong season tally (14:3-5-1) and a positive track record back up his claims.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul over 2000m (track/distance (2:1-1-0)) and having a solid season (10:4-2-0). Forgive the last-start 12th of 12 in a 2400m GROUP 3 under 60kg; back 400m, draws barrier 2 (barriers 1-3: 8:1-3-2), and the rider has a good record on him (8:3-1-1), so this setup looks more suitable.

Comments

Consistent this season (17:4-2-6) and proven at Istanbul 2000m (track/distance 5:2-0-2), with a strong overall course record (Istanbul 24:6-3-8). Last start ran 3rd in a 2400m GROUP 3 3UP at Istanbul under 60kg behind Etsuko, and prior was 2nd over 2100m. Back to 2000m from barrier 4 with H. Karataş, and his mid-gate stats are sound (barriers 4-6: 12:3-1-3), so he profiles well for this setup.

Comments

Won over 2000m here on 12 Jun and boasts an Istanbul record of (15:4-6-1), including (Istanbul, 2000) (4:1-1-0). Last start 3rd in a 3UP HCP over 1500m at Istanbul from barrier 1 behind Black Pablo; up 500m looks suitable on that profile. Drawn barrier 1 again and his low-draw record (barriers 1-3: 7:2-4-1) points to a competitive showing.

Comments

Comes off an Istanbul 2100m win on 25 Jun, defeating Firebender with K Gökçe aboard. Drops 100m to 2000m where he’s (18:3-3-3), and he’s similarly effective at Istanbul 2000 (16:3-3-3). Solid this season (13:3-2-2) and the Gökçe/Yildiz combo (5:2-2-0) is working well, so he looks set to run well again.

Well proven at the Istanbul 2000m with a (20:4-2-5) record. Backs up on a 3‑day turnaround after finishing 6th of 8 here over 2000m. Prior to that ran 3rd of 9 at this trip on 12 Jun behind Star Blood and Zambur Aga, so a return to that level keeps him in the mix.

Drops 400m to 2000m after tackling a Group 3 over 2400m at Istanbul, where he finished 10th of 12 under 60kg on good ground behind Etsuko. Two back he was 2nd over 2000m at Istanbul behind Star Blood and draws barrier 3 again, with strong low-draw stats (barriers 1–3: 12:4-5-1). The 2000m setup from a soft gate and a 1:1-0-0 record with today’s rider make him a credible hope.
