Comments

Proven at 2000m with a strong record (7:3-1-2) and a track-distance second at Ankara, he now draws barrier 1. Second up after 21 days, he comes off a 4th of 5 over 2100m at Ankara in 3UP COND carrying 60kg, and today drops back 100m which suits his profile. Solid claims if he can replicate his April Ankara 2000m run when 2nd to Dragon Kingdom.

Comments

Proven at Ankara and this trip with a strong track-distance record (Ankara, 2000: 4:1-1-0), including a 2000m win here on 28 May. Comes off a 1500m run 19 days ago and now steps up 500m from barrier 5, a better draw than last start. Solid local stats suggest she can be competitive back to a suitable distance.

Comments

Proven at 2000m with a solid (12:3-2-1) record and draws barrier 2, which is a notable positive given a strong record from inside gates (barriers 1–3: 32:4-4-4). On a short turnaround (3 days) after finishing 7th over 2100m at Ankara, and his best recent effort was 3rd in a 3UP COND over 1500m on 13 Aug. Back to his preferred trip and well drawn, he has the setup to improve.
