KARTAL (4) rates on top second up after winning a 1200m 2Y COND 1 at Istanbul on 23 Aug from barrier 1 and sticks to the trip from a soft gate. BLESSED STORM (3) is also second up and impressed winning a 1200m Ankara maiden on debut; draws better this time. ATOMIC AGE (5) brings solid Istanbul form, resuming with a 2nd over 1400m here on 21 Aug and drops 200m with 55kg. SLUICIFER (1) has two Kocaeli 1200m wins on good ground and comes back 300m on a 13-day turnaround.

Comments

Dual 1200m winner at Kocaeli earlier this prep, including beating Süper Lion, and now drops back 300m after a 2nd over 1500m at Kocaeli 13 days ago. Carries 59kg with H.karataş and moves from barrier 2 to 7, with solid figures on Good ground. Proven at today’s trip and track, so a fair hope if he holds that recent form.

Improved sharply this prep, winning a 2Y FILLIES COND over 1300m at Istanbul on 12 Aug (56kg) before a sound 3rd in a 2Y FILLIES COND 4 over 1200m on 23 Aug behind Sanae and Cose Della Vita. Drops to 54kg today and draws barrier 5 after gate 1 last time, with a 2:1-0-1 record for Uğur Levent a positive. Consistent at the track and on good ground, she profiles as a competitive chance at 1200m.

Debut winner over 1200m at Ankara 43 days ago, leading throughout from barrier 8 on Good and scoring over Star Of Handel with 57kg. Stays at 57kg and draws better in barrier 4 second up, with the same rider-trainer combo unbeaten together (1:1-0-0). Progressive profile and the map should suit again.

Debut winner at Istanbul over 1200m on Good, scoring in a 2Y COND 1 with 57kg from barrier 1; now second-up after 17 days. Stays at 1200m, draws barrier 3, and retains a perfect track/distance record (1:1-0-0). Progressive profile and a similar setup should suit.

Second-up and back to 1200m with 55kg after a solid 2nd over 1400m at Istanbul 19 days ago in 2Y COND, drawn a more favourable barrier 6 after barrier 2 last time. Already a winner at the track on good going over 1000m, and holds a neat Istanbul record (2:1-1-0). Proven on the surface and well placed at the weights for another forward showing.

Comments

Back on a short turnaround and draws barrier 1 after working from 11 to finish 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y MDN last week. Has placed at 1200m and owns a consistent good‑track profile (Good: 4:0-2-1), with the rider having already steered him to a placing. With 55kg today after carrying 59kg last start, he maps to get every chance from the inside draw.

Comments

On a short turnaround after finishing 9th of 11 in a 2Y MDN over 1300m at Istanbul on 2 Sep, and now drops 100m. Carries 50kg from barrier 2 (down 4kg and a much better gate than last start), which gives him a softer run. Mixed early runs but the lighter weight and low draw could help him find improvement.
