BATTLE FOR GLORY (2) appeals first-up back to 1600m with 58kg, boasting a strong Ankara/1600 profile (4 wins, 1 second from 6) and excellent overall track record. MAGIC SELECTRA (1) maps well from barrier 1 and is in form, runner-up at Ankara 1600m 19 days ago with 58.5kg; rises to 60kg but holds consistent recent seconds. FAST PILOT (3) brings current fitness and a recent Ankara 1400m win, then 3rd over this trip here 19 days ago; up 5.5kg to 58kg. MOUNTAIN (4) is fit and drops 2kg to 58kg, stretching 600m after a 1000m 2nd here; wider 1600m record is more modest but draws kindly in barrier 3.

Comments

Rock-solid this prep with back-to-back 2nds, including at Ankara over 1600m 19 days ago from barrier 1, and the same draw again suits. Proven on good going (14:2-6-1) and has a strong low-draw profile (barriers 1–3: 14:7-3-1), while the rider has twice finished 2nd on him this season. Up 1.5kg to 60kg but his consistent pattern keeps him in the mix.

Comments

Outstanding Ankara and 1600m specialist with a (Ankara) record of 12:7-2-0 and a 1600m mark of 7:4-1-0, including 4 wins from 6 at this track/trip. First up today after 4 months but draws barrier 2 and drops to 58kg, a setup he used when winning here over 1600m on 30 Oct 2025. Proven profile at the course and distance makes him a strong hope if forward enough.

Comments

Proven at Ankara and this trip with a solid (Ankara, 1600) record of (6:2-0-2), and comes here 19 days after a 3rd over 1600m at Ankara behind Whizbang in a 5-runner field. Has been consistent this season (2:1-0-1) and draws barrier 4, though he rises 5.5kg to 58kg from his latest run. Reliable profile at the venue suggests he can be competitive again with a suitable run in transit.

Comments

Proven at Ankara with a strong record (35:9-6-8) and solid at the trip overall, he returns to 1600m after a 1000m run 16 days ago. Last time here over a mile he was 3rd in July behind Bull Man and Thomas Shelby carrying 60kg; drops to 58kg and draws barrier 3. Well placed back to his preferred setup and capable of running well.
