Comments

Prolific at Bursa with a strong local record, including a last-start 1800m win from barrier 1 under today’s jockey and a recent 2000m victory here with 60kg. Also ran 2nd over 2000m at Bursa two starts back in 3UP COND, and draws well again in barrier 2. Solid credentials at track and trip point to another competitive showing.

Comments

Outstanding Bursa and 2000m specialist with a formidable record (Bursa 33:16-9-5, 2000m 16:9-4-1), and thrives with this rider (jockey combo 11:6-3-1). Comes here 40 days between runs after a 3rd of 5 over 2000m at Bursa in 3UP COND, and draws better moving from barrier 5 to 3. Proven at the track/trip and well placed to run another bold race.

Comments

Proven at Bursa 2000m with a perfect track-distance record (Bursa, 2000:1:1-0-0) and solid overall course stats (10:2-2-3). Won back-to-back at 2200m and 2000m in July with S Tirpan up before a 3rd over 1800m here 15 days ago, and draws handily in barrier 4. In reliable form and the setup looks suitable again.

Comments

Draws barrier 1 after a strong 2nd at Bursa over 2000m 12 days ago in 3UP COND, coming from gate 11 and carrying 57kg. Proven at the venue (Bursa 12:4-1-3) and has a solid 2000m profile (9:1-3-1), with a handy track-distance return (2:0-1-1). Well set up from the inside draw to run well again.
