Comments

Proven at Bursa with a solid profile at 1300m (3:0-2-1) and a track-distance second, she returns to this trip after a 2000m run nine days ago. Recent form includes a 2nd over 1300m at Bursa on 17 Jul (GOOD) from barrier 6, and a maiden win over 1200m on 22 Jun. With the shorter trip and barrier 7, she looks well placed to be competitive again.

Comments

On a short turnaround after a 2nd of 14 at Bursa over 1800m (GOOD) five days ago, carrying 55.5kg from barrier 9 under Alican İnci. Drops 500m and draws barrier 3, returning to a track/distance where the record is solid (Bursa 1300m: 2:1-0-0), and has a 1:1-0-0 combo with today’s jockey/trainer pairing this season. Well placed to run another honest race from the favourable gate.

Arrives in solid form at Bursa, having won a 1500m 3Y COND HCP then backed it up with a 2nd over 1400m in 3Y COND from barrier 6. Proven at the venue (Bursa 7:2-2-1) and has a 1300m placing here, with the draw range 4-6 reading well (2:1-1). Genuine contender to hold his form back to 1300m after 23 days.

Comments

On a short turnaround after finishing 6th of 8 over 1400m at Ankara eight days ago, and now draws barrier 5 after coming from wider alleys in two of the last three runs. Has twice run 5th at Ankara in recent starts, including a 1600m 3UP HCP, and holds a solid Bursa record with 2 seconds from 2 runs. With 55kg and a more favourable gate, a steady showing is within reach.

Proven at Bursa and this trip with a strong local profile (track 7:3-2-1, 1300m 3:2-1-0), and reunites with a jockey who’s 2-from-3 on him. First up after 5 months, he draws barrier 4 and returns to a course where he won over 1300m two starts prior at the venue. Solid claims if he reproduces his established Bursa/1300m form.

Comments

Backs up on a short turnaround after finishing 6th at Bursa over 1800m five days ago, and now drops 500m in trip from that run. Draws barrier 1 with Mahsun Turan, a combo that has combined for a win, and earlier this prep she scored at Kocaeli over 1800m with 58kg. Inside draw and proven rider partnership give her a practical setup to hold a position and be competitive.

Comments

Fourth-up and drawn barrier 2, he comes back 500m after finishing 11th of 12 over 1800m at Bursa 19 days ago. Earlier runs included a 9th of 15 over 1700m from a wide gate and an 11th in a 3Y MDN over 1200m, so the drop in trip and soft draw may help him settle into a more suitable scenario. Needs to lift on exposed track figures at CurrentTrack (3:0-0-0), but the setup is more forgiving today.
