Comments

Proven at Istanbul with a solid profile (track 10:1-3-1) and has placed in both prior runs at the track and trip (CurrentTrack, 1400: 3:0-2-0). Drops sharply back from 2400m and rises to 58kg, but reunites with a jockey who has already ridden him into 2nd for this trainer. With a favourable barrier shift to 8, he maps as a genuine contender back to this distance.

Comments

Proven at 1400m with a strong record (8:4-0-1) and unbeaten at the Istanbul 1400, he draws well in barrier 2. On a short turnaround off an 8-day gap after a 4th at Kocaeli (1400m, GOOD, 54.5kg) and now rises to 58kg with H.Çizik taking over, a jockey he partners well with (3:2-0-0). Solid stats at the track and trip make him a credible chance if he holds that form.

Returns to Istanbul from a 1400m Ankara run 10 days ago and draws better in barrier 4. Proven at this track (Istanbul: 3:1-0-0) and distance (1400: 2:1-0-0), with two June wins including a 1600m 3Y HCP here. With E. Çi̇zi̇k aboard previously for a win and a favourable setup, a competitive showing is within reach.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul and unbeaten at 1400m (1:1-0-0), he now drops 800m after a 4th over 2200m nine days ago and rises 7kg to 57kg. Strong rapport with A. Çelik (4:2-1-1) and a prior Istanbul 1400 win adds confidence. With the short turnaround and distance drop, he profiles as a competitive chance at his preferred trip.

Comments

Comes off a 1400m win at Kocaeli 15 days ago under Akin Sözen, and that jockey/rider combo is 1:1-0-0. Back to 56kg from 61kg and draws barrier 5, with solid 1400m stats (8:1-2-3) and consistent placings at the track/trip (Istanbul 1400: 4:0-1-2). Genuine each-way claims on recent consistency and the weight drop.

Fourth-up and drawn well in barrier 3, with a positive jockey/trainer combo (1:1-0-0). Most recent run was 7th of 7 at Ankara over 1200m on Good, and now steps up 200m with 3kg more to 56kg. Proven from low barriers (4:1-0-2 between barriers 1-3), so a smoother run-in-transit could see improvement.

Proven at 1400m with a (4:1-1-2) record and two thirds from two runs at this track/trip, she resumes first-up off 107 days with a prep record of 1:0-1-0. Latest run was 2nd at Istanbul over 1300m on GOOD3 carrying 56kg; drops to 54kg today and draws barrier 7. Consistent profile at the venue and distance suggests she can be competitive fresh.

Comments

Fourth-up and drawn barrier 1, returning to a gate where she won over 1300m at Adana in Oct 2025. Recent Ankara efforts at 1300m have been well back, but she drops 5kg to 50kg and reunites with A. Kaçmaz from the inside draw. Needs to lift on current form, though the low weight and favourable barrier give her a chance to settle closer.
