Comments

Placed twice at Ankara this prep, including a 2nd over 1500m on 30 Apr under 61kg behind Mandrake. Since then he’s boxed on for 4th in a 3UP HCP over 1500m and wasn’t in the hunt when 9th of 9 over 2000m last time. Back slightly in trip today and drawn barrier 7, he has shown enough at 1500m to be competitive if he holds that form.

Comments

Proven at Bursa 1900m with a win two starts back under Salih Çelik, and returns to that trip after a 2000m third here 12 days ago behind Harp and Aslan Saim. Strong local profile (Bursa 4:1-1-1) and unbeaten with today’s jockey-trainer combination (1:1-0-0) adds confidence. Well placed back to 1900m from barrier 6 and can run well again.

Proven at this trip with a 1900m record of (2:1-1-0) and drawn well in barrier 2. Comes off a Izmir 2000m win 25 days ago under A Meh Altin, who has a strong partnership with the stable (5:4-1). Consistent profile at Izmir suggests he’s well placed to figure again.

Comments

Arrives in solid form with a Kocaeli 1400m win on 23 Jun and a 2nd over 1200m on 7 Jul under Onur Yildiz, who reunites here. Drawn well in barrier 3 and boasts a strong partnership with the rider-trainer combo (3:1-2-0), plus a positive low-barrier record (4:2-2-0). The sharp rise in trip is a query, but recent consistency suggests he can give another honest account.

Arrives off a 2200m Istanbul 3UP HCP win 14 days ago under Görkem Özçelik, and the same rider is 2/2 on him. Proven at today’s trip with a 1900m record of (5:1-2-0) and draws barrier 5, which aligns with a solid barrier profile (7:2-2-0 from barriers 4-6). With the jockey-trainer combo perfect from one start, he sets up well to hold form.

Comments

Outstanding affinity with today’s rider and trainer combo, boasting a 4-from-4 record together, and he draws barrier 1 after winning from the inside gate over 2000m here on 14 Jul. Last start he was 2nd over 1900m at Kocaeli, beaten narrowly by Wolf Seyfo, and he returns to his pet trip where he’s (3:1-1-0). With strong recent Kocaeli form and a favourable map from the inside, he looks set to run well again.
