Comments

Rock-solid Izmir record (11:6-3-0) and thrives from low barriers, drawing 2 today with a strong jockey/trainer combo (4:3-1). Comes off back-to-back 2nds at Izmir over 2100m and 1900m, and now drops 100m while rising 7kg to 61kg. Proven on good ground and profiles to run well again despite the weight.

Comments

Proven at Izmir 2000m with a perfect (Izmir, 2000) record of 2:2-0-0 and a strong local profile this season (8:3-4-0). Forgive the Istanbul GROUP 2 miss; prior Izmir runs included 2000m wins on good going and a 2nd at 1900m, and he now carries 60kg from barrier 4 with Ö.yildirim booked. Back to his favored track and trip, he profiles as a solid chance.

Comments

Back on a short turnaround after a narrow 2nd at Izmir over 1900m seven days ago under 58kg, having won there two starts prior (1900m, good) with Cherokee the runner-up. Draws the inside gate and rises slightly in trip to 2000m, where he’s placed in 1 of 2, which should suit his consistent Izmir record (17:2-3-5). Solid claims with a similar effort.

Comments

Proven at 2000m with a win and a placing from three tries, and draws barrier 5 after working from 6 last time. Latest run was 3rd of 6 over 2000m at Kocaeli (58kg) 11 days ago behind Taner Abi, and he has an Izmir 1600m second two back. Honest profile this season (20:5-3-4) suggests he can be competitive again at the trip.

Comments

Comes off a last-start Izmir win over 1900m from barrier 1 carrying 58kg, reuniting with Nevzat Avci who is 1/1 on him for this stable. Strong this season (13:5-2-4) and proven at the track (15:5-2-4), with solid returns from inside barriers (1-3: 8:2-1-3). With barrier 3 again and only a minor 100m trim in trip, he profiles to hold form.
