Comments

Arrives off a hat-trick of wins, latest scoring at Istanbul over 2100m on 3 Jul after a 1900m Istanbul success on 14 Jun over runner-up Papa Runner. Unbeaten at Istanbul (2:2-0-0) and effective at 1900m (3:2-0-0), and the 200m drop looks a positive setup. Well placed to continue the strong form.

Won two back at Istanbul over 1400m in a 3UP HCP 16 carrying 56.5kg, defeating Touch The Cloud, then finished 6th of 9 in a 1400m 3UP there behind İsen Buga. Draws barrier 1 and faces a 500m distance change; his Istanbul record (12:2-0-2) suggests he can be in the mix if it suits.

Comments

Back-to-back 2nds at Istanbul, latest over 2200m in a 3UP HCP on 12 Jul behind Rosario, after a 1600m 2nd on 1 Jul behind Dark Money. Drops 300m to 1900m on the short turnaround and is yet to place at the trip (2:0-0-0), though he did win a 1600m race here on 24 May from barrier 21. With barrier 4 and solid recent form, he looks set to give another honest account.

Comes off a 1900m 3Y HCP win at Istanbul on 5 Jul, 1st of 7 from barrier 3 with 57kg under G. Kocakaya, defeating Call To Arms. Previously ran 2nd of 9 over 1600m here on 17 Jun behind Şeker Aslan; solid profile this season (12:3-1-0) and at Istanbul (7:2-1-0) suggests he can be competitive again.

Drops 300m on a short turnaround after a 5th at Istanbul over 2200m in a 3UP HCP (12 runners) carrying 57kg from barrier 1. Notably ran 2nd at Istanbul over 1900m on 14 Jun with A. Kaçmaz up, and won at Bursa over 2000m on 1 Jun (52.5kg), beating Alps Fire. Kaçmaz reunites (8:1-3-1) and a return to 1900m looks a positive setup despite being winless at Istanbul (23:0-3-3).

Istanbul placings stack up well, with 3rd in a 1600m 3UP HCP on Jul 1 (55kg) behind Dark Money and Sirius Vega and 3rd in a 1300m 3UP HCP 15 on Jun 21 (53.5kg) behind Crazyblood and Sheer Force. Back up quickly off a Bursa 1300m run 7 days ago when 8th of 20 (60kg) and now faces a 600m distance change. With R Yildiz having partnered his 1400m 3UP HCP 16 placing on Jun 10 (48.5kg), a repeat of that level would see him competitive.
