Comments

Proven at 1200m (5:2-2-0) and back to that trip on a short turnaround after 1400m runs should suit. Istanbul form includes a 2nd over 1400m on heavy behind Laureate, and he has a solid local record (7:1-2-0). From barrier 4 under 60kg-class company recently, he profiles as a chance to rebound at this distance.

Comments

Returns to 1200m from 1400m after a solid 4th at Kocaeli 11 days ago with 60kg, and draws barrier 3 where he has a handy (8:2-1-2) record. Track stats are sound (21:4-3-3) and he’s twice placed at this track/trip from three attempts. Honest profile at the venue suggests he can be competitive back to this sprint.

Comments

On a short turnaround after finishing 5th of 6 over 1800m at Bursa three days ago from barrier 2, and now drops 600m which brings him back to his most tried trip (1200m: 17:1-3-2). Recent runs include a 7th of 9 in a 3UP COND over 1200m at Bursa on 24 Jul carrying 58kg, and a 4th of 6 over 1000m at Ankara on 9 Jul. Well drawn in barrier 2 and the sharp drop in trip could suit at this stage of the prep.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul with a strong overall record (21:6-9-3) and third-up here. Drops back 300m after a 3rd over 1500m at Istanbul on 10 Jul behind Firebender and Diamond Brothers, and owns a 1200m second plus a (Istanbul, 1200) second from one try. Barrier 7 suits given a positive record from wider alleys (7-10:7:3-1-0), so he profiles to run well at this trip.

Comments

Fourth-up and back sharply in trip by 700m after finishing 8th of 8 over 1900m at Istanbul on 22 Jul in a 3UP HCP, carrying 51kg from barrier 2 behind Mir Emre. Prior Istanbul run on 5 Jul was 11th of 12 over 1400m in a 3UP HCP behind The Butcher, and there was a midfield 17th of 20 at Bursa over 1300m in between. Needs to lift but the significant drop in distance and barrier 5 offer a different setup.

Consistent at this venue with 6 seconds from 11 starts, and arrives on a short turnaround after a 2nd over 1400m at Istanbul on 26 Jul with Gökhan Kocakaya aboard. Drops 200m and draws barrier 1, while the jockey partnership reads a solid (5:1-3-0). Genuine chance to be in the finish again around this trip and track.
