Comments

Proven at Ankara (12:2-3-2) and effective at 1300m (3:1-0-1), he returns off a 14‑day turnaround with 60kg. Last start he drew wide and finished 6th of 9 over 1400m at Kocaeli in a 3UP HCP with the same jockey; the barrier improves to 7 today and the trip shortens 100m. Genuine place chance if he holds that Ankara record.

Comments

First-up after 3 months with a solid fresh record (3:1-1-1) and draws barrier 1, where he’s often been around the mark despite no wins (14:0-2-4). Returns to 1300m, a trip he handles (5:1-1-1), and reunites with Sal.Çelik who has a good association (3:1-0-1). Competitive if he brings his best early in the prep.

Consistent at Ankara with a strong local profile (track 6:2-2-0) and effective at 1300m (3:1-2-0), including a 2nd over this track and trip last start from barrier 4. Drops 2.5kg to 55.5kg and again draws well in 4, with a solid partnership with M A Solmaz (8:1-5). Genuine chance to hold form back at a proven setup.

Profiles well from barrier 2 with a strong jockey partnership (CurrentJockey 6:4-1-0) and a positive gate record when drawn 1–3 (8:4-1-2). Comes back 200m to 1300m and drops to 55kg on an 11-day turnaround after a 4th over 1500m at Istanbul in 3Y COND. Ankara record is solid for placings and the setup hints at improvement.

Proven at the track with a solid CurrentTrack record (7:2-0-4) and teams with a jockey who rides him well (15:4-3-4). Comes off an 11‑day turnaround after finishing 6th of 7 over 1500m at Istanbul in 3Y COND, and now drops 5kg to 53kg with a 200m cutback from that run. Dual recent wins in June at Istanbul 1400m and Ankara 1600m underline his effectiveness, so a competitive showing is within reach.

Arrives 16 days after winning at Ankara over 1400m from barrier 4, adding to a solid Good-track profile (10:2-2-2). Prior run was a 2nd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 3UP HCP, beaten by Crazyblood while carrying 61kg from the outside alley (11). Back to 57kg from barrier 5, with G.kocakaya aboard, he looks to hold his form at this trip.

Arrives off a 1400m Ankara win 16 days ago carrying 61kg, and now drops to 52kg with a small distance trim to 1300m and an inside draw of barrier 3. Prior Ankara form includes a 1400m win in a 3Y HCP and a 1200m 4th on good ground, and the current jockey has previously partnered a win. Well set up at the weights and barrier to run well at this track.

Comments

Consistent at Ankara with five seconds and a win on the track, and arrives 16 days after a 2nd over 1400m when carrying 61kg. Drops sharply to 52kg and comes from an outer barrier this time, with the current jockey striking at 3:1-1. On recent seconds at 1200m and 1400m, a forward showing at this trip looks within reach.
