Bursa Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: -

QUEEN AYLA (4) rates on top after winning over 1400m at Bursa on 31 Jul, beating IŞILS A MELINA (3) with 58kg, and she’s 3/4 at the trip; draws barrier 3 and stays with a jockey/trainer combo that scored last time. IŞILS A MELINA (3) maps as the main danger with strong Bursa figures (4 wins, 3 seconds from 9) and a 1400m win here on 6 Jul with 57kg. THEATER OF WAR (1) draws the rail and reunites with Ayhan Kurşun, who partnered the Istanbul 2000m win on 25 Jun; drops back 700m which could sharpen him. RECUERDAME (5) is on a short turnaround after a 4th at Bursa over 1500m on 7 Aug with 53kg and had placed over 1400m here two starts earlier.

Comments

Returns to 1400m where the stats read 1:1-0-0, and draws barrier 1. The Ayhan Kurşun partnership has been potent (4:3-0-0), including a win at Istanbul over 2000m two starts back when beating Miss Conqueror. Freshened 24 days and well drawn to get the right run; holds sound claims if reproducing that Kurşun-linked form.

Comments

Proven at 1400m (4:1-1-0) and draws barrier 4, returning to this trip after a close 3rd over 1600m at Izmir 20 days ago behind Tolper and Vite Vite. Last run at Bursa over 1400m produced a 5th with 58kg; back to the shorter trip again looks suitable. Grounded chance with that distance profile and a handy draw.

Comments

Prolific at Bursa (9:4-3-1) and strong at 1400m (4:2-1-0), she arrives off a narrow 2nd over this course and trip 15 days ago behind Queen Ayla carrying 58kg. Prior to that she won a 3UP HCP at 1400m here with 57kg, and her partnership with the current jockey reads a tidy (4:2-1-1). Profiles to run well again from barrier 6.

Comments

Proven at Bursa 1400m with back-to-back wins this prep, including 31 Jul over 1400m (Bursa) carrying 58kg from barrier 4, and again on 3 Jul over 1400m with 59.5kg. Unbeaten 2-from-2 at the Bursa 1400 and 3-from-4 overall at 1400, and draws barrier 3 with Salih Çelik aboard after their last-start win. Short turnaround of 15 days but her track/distance stats and favourable gate underpin another forward showing.

On a short turnaround after a 4th of 7 over 1500m at Bursa eight days ago with 53kg under Nevzat Avci. Strong local profile at Bursa (15:4-4-2) and solid recent 1400m efforts include a 3rd of 14 in a 3YF COND on 24 Jul. Returns to 1400m from barrier 5 and looks a consistent chance to figure.

Placed 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m two starts back and has a solid 1400m record (7:1-2-0). Draws barrier 2 and returns to a track where the overall record reads (3:1-0-2). On a 10-day turnaround with a slight rise in trip, looks capable of giving a sight.
