Comments

Proven at Ankara with a solid (19:4-6-4) record and a handy 1400m profile (7:1-2-2), he brings consistent form including 3rd over 1400m in a 3UP HCP on 13 Jun (60.5kg, SOFT) and 2nd at 1400m on 6 Jun. Latest runs at 1200m and 1000m both produced 3rds, and he steps back up 200m from a fair draw in barrier 6 under 60kg. Reliable local who maps to get his chance at this trip.

Comments

Outstanding 1400m record (6:4-1-1) and returns to a suitable trip third-up. On a short 5-day turnaround after a 3rd at Ankara over 1300m from barrier 10, and now draws 7 with 61kg. Strong Ankara stats (3:1-0-1) and an excellent association with the rider (11:5-1-2) underpin solid claims.

Comments

Returns from an 82-day break and drops 600m, with a 1-from-2 record at 1400m offering a suitable setup. Earlier in the prep he placed 2nd over 1900m at Adana behind Money Well Spent and also ran 3rd over 2000m, suggesting genuine staying form to blend with this shorter trip. Drawn barrier 4 and back to a proven distance, he profiles as a measured hope.

Comments

Draws barrier 1 and returns to Ankara, where he’s 6 from 37 overall and 2 from 8 at 1400m on this track-distance. Last Ankara run on 19 May over 1400m he was 6th of 9, and prior to that he’d placed 2nd at Adana over 1500m on 3 March. Proven inside-gate record (34:6-8-7 from barriers 1–3) and a solid jockey combo (12:2-3-2) give him a workable platform fresh.

Proven at 1400m with a strong (8:2-6-0) record and two seconds at Ankara over this trip, and draws well in barrier 3. Back on a short turnaround (6 days) after a 3rd over 1500m at Istanbul in 3UP HCP with 52.5kg behind Çokomel Kiz and Boaz, and reunites with Gökhan Kocakaya, with whom the record reads (2:1-0-1). Profiles to run well back to a suitable distance at a track where he’s been consistent.

Proven at 1400m (14:4-1-2) and effective at Ankara, including a (CurrentTrack, 1400) record of (3:1-0-1). Comes off a 2nd of 7 over 1200m at Ankara 14 days ago in 3UP COND4, and prior was 3rd of 7 over 1500m in 3UP HCP, so the slight rise in trip looks suitable from barrier 5. Solid credentials for another forward showing with 60kg under E. Çankaya.

Comes off a 2nd of 7 over 2000m at Kocaeli 19 days ago, and now drops 600m which could sharpen him. Has a 1-from-1 record at 1400m and draws barrier 2 after jumping from 4 last time. Consistent recent Ankara efforts at 1500m-1600m suggest he’s holding form and is well placed to run well.
