Comments

Progressive 3YO with three straight wins culminating at Istanbul over 1300m (3Y COND 4) from barrier 7, now draws 5 after 72 days off. Prior Ankara wins at 1200m and 1100m on good and soft ground underline versatility, with a runner‑up effort preceding the streak. Returns slightly in trip and looks well set to maintain the momentum.

Impressive debut winner at Istanbul over 1300m 19 days ago, scoring from barrier 6 and now draws kinder in 3. Second-up today with a slight drop to 1200m and remains at 57kg; proven at the track and still on the up. Well placed to progress off that fresh win.

Debuted with a win at Istanbul 19 days ago over 1300m, taking out an 11-runner race from barrier 9 under 57kg, beating Canbulut. Second-up here from barrier 4 and back 100m, with the same trainer and a new rider aboard. Progressive profile and the setup looks suitable to continue advancing.

Comments

Draws well in barrier 2 and drops back 200m, which suits a runner with a 1200m record of (3:1-0-0). Recent Istanbul form includes a 2nd in a 3Y OPEN over 1400m on 24 Jul behind Bozkir Yiğidi, and he’s on a 12-day turnaround after a tougher 1400m HCP run. Well set up to bounce back at this trip.

Proven at 1200m with a (3:1-0-2) record and unbeaten at the Istanbul 1200m (1:1-0-0). Last start he improved to 3rd at Istanbul over 1400m in a 3Y HCP, and now drops 200m with a favourable barrier 6. Solid setup to run well back to his best trip.

Comments

Comes back eight days after a 4th of 6 at Ankara over 1300m in 3Y COND from barrier 1 under 57kg, behind Yükenoğlu and Salgur. Prior form was solid with a 1400m Ankara win and earlier placings at 1300m and 1200m, and he draws the inside again with a slight drop to 1200m. Honest profile at the trip (1200:1:0-1) and maps to get every chance from the rail.
