Comments

Consistent Istanbul performer this prep with a 2nd over 1500m on 16 Aug and two 4ths since, now drawn barrier 3 and up 2kg to 59kg. Steps from 1500m to 1600m (2:0-0-0 at the trip) nine days after a 12th, but his prior 4th at this track/distance on 28 Aug reads better. Well placed from the gate to bounce back if he reproduces his mid‑August efforts.

Comments

Second-up after a 7th of 8 over 1400m at Istanbul two weeks ago in AR grade (57kg), with Canozanim winning. Steps back 200m to 1200m and draws barrier 5 after barrier 2 last time; has raced twice at Istanbul without a placing (track record 2:0-0-0). Progressive profile but needs to lift on exposed figures.

Third-up and drawn the inside, he brings solid Istanbul form with a 2nd in a 1200m 3Y COND1 on 30 Aug (57kg) before a 3rd in a 1300m 3Y MDN on 9 Sep. The rise in trip by 300m from that latest run and a switch to H.karataş could suit his on-speed profile from barrier 1. Genuine chance to progress further this preparation.

Third-up and comes off a 3rd of 8 at Istanbul over 1400m on 11 Sep (AR, 57kg) behind Canozanim and Şelemzar, with the same jockey aboard. Steps up 200m from a 1200m 5th at Kocaeli in June and draws barrier 9 after a softer inside gate last time. Solid recent platform and the set-up suggests he can hold his form.

Comments

Draws much better in barrier 4 after landing wide gates at his last three runs, and returns to 57kg after carrying 55kg at Kocaeli 1400m 10 days ago. Best recent effort was 4th of 10 at Istanbul over 1300m (GOOD) carrying 57kg, and he now rises 200m to a trip he’s tried once. With the handier draw and quick turnaround, a competitive showing is within reach.

Fourth-up and on a 14-day turnaround, he’s been consistent enough with 5th at Bursa over 1400m (AR, 57kg) on 11 Sep and 5th at Istanbul over 1300m (AR, 57kg) on 26 Aug. Drops 200m today and draws barrier 7, an improvement from his latest wide gate. Honest recent efforts suggest he can hold his form at this trip.

On a short turnaround after finishing 6th of 14 at Bursa over 1500m (AR) 11 days ago, and now drops 2kg to 55kg. Prior Istanbul runs included 7th of 14 over 1300m (AR) and 8th of 15 over 1200m, suggesting she’s been holding her form in similar company. With barrier 8 again, a steady showing is within reach.

Consistent placegetter this prep with 3rds at Izmir (1400m, AR) on 3 Sep and Kocaeli (1400m, AR) on 20 Aug, and he’s on a 7‑day turnaround after finishing 8th of 21 at Istanbul (1400m, SOFT). Drops 2kg to 55kg, draws barrier 6, and comes back 200m, which could help him hold a spot and give a competitive showing.
