Proven at Ankara with a strong local record (16:5-1-1) and effective at 1900m (8:2-0-0), now resuming first-up after 12 months. Last prep included a 2800m Ankara win and a 1900m Ankara 4th carrying 61kg, and he draws well in barrier 3 today. Fitness is the query fresh, but his track-and-trip stats give him a solid base.

Comments

Solid Ankara credentials with (5:0-1-1) and placed over staying trips, including 3rd over 2200m here on 14 May behind Anshba. Forgive the wide-draw Group 2 tilt at Istanbul last time; now draws barrier 5 after jumping from 17 and drops back slightly to 1900m. Freshened 46 days and profiles to run a competitive race from a better gate.

Proven at Ankara 1900m, going 2/2 at the track and trip and unbeaten from barrier 7 there. Latest two wins at Ankara (1900m, GOOD) had Ayhan Kurşun aboard, defeating Born To Trust on both occasions.

Proven at Ankara 1900m with a win two starts back in a 3UP HCP, beating Master Of Race, and owns a solid local profile (Ankara 19:2-0-7; track/distance 6:1-0-2). Drops back 300m after a 5th over 2200m and draws better moving from barrier 9 to 6. The setup looks suitable for another competitive showing at this trip.

Proven at Ankara and this trip, having won over 1900m here on 2 May (SOFT) from barrier 2 with 58.5kg, and he again draws well in barrier 1. Since then he’s been competitive at Istanbul, notably 2nd over 1600m on 3 July carrying 60kg, and he returns to a more suitable distance today off a 15-day turnaround. Solid track and distance stats suggest he can give a good account from the inside draw.
