Elazig Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: -

VAN KALESI (1) maps well from barrier 1 and is 2/2 at the Elazig 1900, with wins here at 1800m and 1900m in May–July and now back 100m after a 4th at Elazig 2000m 51 days ago. ROYALGUARD (2) was runner-up to VAN KALESI (1) over this trip at Elazig on 06 Jul and has solid Good-track figures plus a strong current jockey/trainer combo. KING ANCESTOR (5) arrives fit off a Diyarbakir 2000m win 18 days ago and draws barrier 2, with two Elazig seconds on Good suggesting he handles this circuit. AŞAN GOLD (3) is on a 7‑day turnaround after a 1200m 4th here and has placed at 1900m, but rises sharply in trip.

Comments

Proven at Elazig and this trip, boasting a strong 1900m record (3:2-0-0) and perfect at the track/distance (2:2-0-0). Last time he was 4th over 2000m here in a 3Y HCP with 61kg, and now draws barrier 1 with 62kg and a slight drop back to 1900m. From the inside draw and back to a proven setup, he profiles to run well.

Proven in the prep with wins at Sanliurfa 2000m (GOOD) and Diyarbakir 1700m, and he returns off a 72-day break with a slight drop back to 1900m where he was 2nd at Elazig in a 3Y HCP from barrier 8. Carries 59.5kg and sticks with F. Yardimci, a pairing with a strong (6:3-0-1) record. Measured claims if he reproduces his mid-prep form at this track and trip.

Back on a quick 7-day turnaround after a solid 4th over 1200m at Elazig, and now stretches 700m to 1900m where he’s placed once from three attempts. Proven at Elazig with a (23:2-7-4) record and reunites with Yusuf Cengiz from barrier 5. Honest local profile suggests he can be competitive if the extra trip suits today.

On a short turnaround after a career-best 2nd at Elazig over 1200m (TB) seven days ago, drawn low and carrying 54.5kg when chasing home Andromeda Star. Steps up 700m in trip today with 55.5kg from barrier 6, having mixed recent form at longer distances. If he holds that Elazig form, he can be competitive.

Arrives off a Diyarbakir 2000m TB win 18 days ago from barrier 11, with Çetin Canpolat aboard, beating Thon Khitchiba. Drops 100m and draws barrier 2, and his good-ground record (9:1-4-2) plus solid low-draw stats (1-3: 10:1-3-1) suggest he can hold form.

Back on a short turnaround after a 7th of 9 over 1200m at Elazig, but his prior 2nd of 15 there over 1600m (Good) reads better, and he drops from 58kg to 54kg. Draws barrier 3 today after a wide gate last time and has solid Elazig exposure (3:0-1-0), suggesting a competitive showing if he can reproduce that mile run.

Consistent at Elazig over this trip with a (CurrentTrack, 1900) record of (3:0-2-0), including 2nd in a 3Y COND on 31 Aug behind Aemond. On a short turnaround and drops 8kg to 52kg from barrier 4, a notable setup shift from the 1200m run seven days ago. Well placed to run to his reliable 1900m profile.

On a short freshen-up (32 days) after a pair of mid-pack efforts at Izmir, including 5th of 9 over 1900m on 22 Aug behind Çifte Yürekli. Drops 2kg to 52kg and returns to 1900m, where he’s twice been around the mark without placing. With a handy barrier 7, a similar honest showing looks within reach.
