Race 7

Prize Money: -

LOVIBOND (2) rates on top with strong Kocaeli figures (3 wins from 4) and a last-start 1400m win here on 23/06, stepping from barrier 5 to 2. LUPELYAN (4) is 3 from 3 at Kocaeli and beat 10 rivals over 1200m here on 26/06; up 200m but holds a solid local profile. CUCURELLA (3) won a 1400m Bursa race on 29/05 and was a close 3rd to LOVIBOND over this track/trip on 23/06; forgive latest 1200m 10th. CROWNED (1) draws the rail and brings recent Kocaeli form including a 1900m win on 23/06; sharp drop to 1400m suits with a 1-from-5 record at the trip.

Comments

Comes back to 1400m from staying trips and draws barrier 1, with a solid course record at CurrentTrack (7:1-1-1) and a handy 1400m card (5:1-0-1). Recent Kocaeli form is consistent, including a win over 1900m on 23 Jun and a 3rd over 1500m on 11 Jun, with Fire At Will the winner when he was 2nd on 2 Jun carrying 57kg. Well-suited by the soft gate and proven locally, he profiles as a reliable chance.

Thrives at CurrentTrack (4:3-1) and is 1:1-1 at the track and trip, arriving off three straight Kocaeli wins including a 1500m 3UP COND carrying 60kg. Draws barrier 2 and sticks to a favourable 1400m where the overall record reads (13:4-1-3), so a repeat of recent form makes him a strong hope.

Proven at 1400m (9:3-0-2) and placed over this track/trip last month at Kocaeli, he now steps back up from 1200m with a favourable barrier 4. Five wins this season underline solid form, and he carries 60kg for A.sözen. Genuine chance back to his preferred distance.

Arrives in strong form with back-to-back Kocaeli wins, most recently scoring over 1200m from barrier 1 under 59kg. Proven at today’s track and trip with a (CurrentTrack, 1400) record of 1:1-0-0, and holds a perfect 3:3-0-0 overall at this venue. Up 1kg to 60kg and drawn barrier 6, but current-season return of (14:4-0-2) suggests he’s thriving.

Consistent this season (18:3-3-3) and twice runner-up in June at Kocaeli 1500m (3Y COND, 57kg) and Ankara 1500m (3Y OPEN). Drops to 55kg, trims back to 1400m where he’s (7:1-0-3), and reunites with Ö.F. Özén who has a 1:0-1-0 record on him; measured chance from barrier 8.

Fourth-up and comes off a 2nd of 12 over 1200m at Kocaeli 14 days ago, splitting Father Mehmet and the rest. Steps up 200m to 1400m where the record reads (8:0-0-2), but draws barrier 5 and carries 57kg with solid mid-gates stats (11:2-0-3 from barriers 4-6). Honest recent run suggests he can be competitive at this trip.

Proven at 1400m with a strong distance record (10:4-0-1) and comes in off a short 14-day turnaround. Recent form is sound, including a Bursa win over 1300m on good going on 8 Jun and a Kocaeli 1200m 3rd on 26 Jun under today’s jockey. Drawn barrier 7 again and down to 54kg, he profiles to run well.

Comments

Drops 4kg to 55kg and draws barrier 3 after a 6th of 8 over 1600m at Istanbul 22 days ago in 3UP HCP, with H. Karataş aboard. Prior to that he won over 1500m at Istanbul from barrier 10 with 60.5kg, and he’s 2-from-4 with this rider. Back to 1400m should suit off that profile, and the lighter weight gives him a chance to rebound.
