Proven at Istanbul with a strong (8:4-2-1) track record and thrives from middle alleys, boasting a compelling barrier 4-6 record (7:5-2-0). Last seen 53 days ago and now up 500m to 2000m, he was runner-up at this trip at Bursa on 15 Jun carrying 58.5kg, and returns with 60kg from barrier 5 under S. Kaya. Solid credentials for another bold showing at this track and set-up.

Comments

Strong at Istanbul 2000m with a (3:1-2-0) record, and draws barrier 1 with 58kg after carrying up to 61kg in recent 1400–1500m runs. Comes off a 32-day break and a distance rise of 600m that looks a positive switch given his track/distance profile. Well placed to improve back to this trip from the inside draw.

Comments

Proven at 2000m with a strong record at the track and trip (5:3-1-1), and arrives 25 days after winning a 4UP HCP over 2000m at Istanbul from barrier 9. Carries 58kg today after scoring with 52kg last time and draws barrier 6, but his season has begun perfectly (1:1-0-0). Solid credentials at this course-distance make him a key player again.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul and this trip, with a strong track record (18:6-5-1) and a solid 2000m/track-distance profile (3:1-1-1). Comes off a narrow 2nd over 2100m here 16 days ago and now drops 3kg to 58kg from barrier 3. With this season’s 2:1-1 form and established rider-trainer combination, he looks set to run well again.
