Consistent at this trip with a (2000:0-4-0) profile and strong Izmir figures, including (Izmir, 2000:0-3-0) and an overall track record of (28:4-12-6).

With 30 days between runs and a favourable gate, he profiles as a solid contender to be in the finish.

Comments

Proven at Izmir 2000m, winning here last start from barrier 5 with 58kg, and he’s 2-from-4 at the trip with a perfect (Izmir, 2000) record. The current jockey has a 2:1-0-1 record on him, and the trainer/jockey combo is 1:1-0-0. Drawn barrier 7 today with 19 days between runs, he looks to get a similar set-up to his recent win.

Comments

Returns on a short 5-day turnaround after finishing 6th of 6 over 1900m at Izmir, having previously won back-to-back 1900m Izmir races with Ö.F. Özen aboard. Draws barrier 6 and reunites with that successful rider-jockey combo, which has a strong record together (5:2-2-0). Competitive on recent local 1900m form and can bounce back quickly.

Comments

Proven at Izmir with a strong track record (16:5-2-4) and well drawn in barrier 5, he returns 19 days after a 2000m run here when 4th of 5. Earlier this prep he won over 1900m at Izmir on 20 Jun (58kg), beating Frost Cat, and was 3rd to the same rival on 23 May. Solid local profile suggests he can be competitive back around this trip.

Comes off an Izmir 1900m win 11 days ago on GOOD, beating Yiğenim Nehir, and now steps up slightly in trip. Strong course profile (CurrentTrack 7:3-0-2) and proven partnership with Gökhan Gökçe (CurrentJockey 8:3-0-2) add confidence. With barrier 4 where he’s 2-from-3, he looks well set to hold form.

Proven at Izmir with a strong local record (18:6-3-3) and solid at the trip (2000:3-1-0), she now draws well in barrier 2 after a tougher 2100m 3Y GROUP 3 at Istanbul 22 days ago. The return to Izmir and slight drop in trip look suitable, and she reunites with M. Çiçek who has a positive record aboard (6:2-2-1). Measured claims back under these conditions.

Proven at the trip with a 2000m record of (7:2-0-1) and draws well in barrier 3, a gate range where he’s 5 from 10. Won back-to-back at Antalya in March/April, including over 2100m on soft, before three small-field defeats at 2000m, most recently 6th of 6 at Kocaeli 30 days ago. Suitable draw and prior distance form give him a chance to rebound if he can reproduce his Antalya figure.
