Kocaeli Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

FORTISSIMO (2) brings strong local credentials, having won its past two at Kocaeli including a 1200m TB on 8/9 carrying 59kg, and is fourth-up with a perfect record for the jockey and at the track/distance. AURELIA BLITZ (6) chased FORTISSIMO (2) home for 2nd in that 8/9 1200m TB and earlier broke maiden here, so profiles as the main danger. SLUICIFER (1) drops 2kg and draws barrier 3 after a Kocaeli 1500m 2nd on 27/8, which reads well back to 1400m. First-up LEOPARDESS (4) maps well from barrier 1 and is unbeaten at Kocaeli off a 1100m win here on 11/6.

Comments

Returns to 1200m and drops 2kg after a 6th of 7 over 1200m at Istanbul (2Y COND4) 13 days ago from the outside barrier, with a better draw here (barrier 3). Earlier in the prep he was runner-up over 1500m at Kocaeli and has a strong CurrentTrack record (4:2-1-0). With the improved barrier and distance tweak, he has the platform to lift.

Comments

Progressive juvenile fourth-up with a perfect 2/2 record at Kocaeli and an unbeaten partnership with M.m.bi̇lgi̇n for trainer Ser.gökçe. Won over 1400m here in a 2Y MDN before backing up to score over 1200m (both on GOOD), and draws well again in barrier 2. On a 14‑day turnaround, the profile and track affinity suggest he can hold form at 59kg.

Comments

Proven at the track with a strong CurrentTrack record (3:2-1-0) and draws barrier 4 after racing on the fence last time. Two earlier Kocaeli wins at 1100m and 1200m included a maiden victory over Victory Xece, then a 2nd to Mayback next start. Back up to 58kg and out to 1400m on the short turnaround of 22 days looks a reasonable setup for a bounce.

First-up with a strong local profile, unbeaten at this track (1:1-0-0) and drawn the inside after a barrier improvement from 4 to 1. Won at Kocaeli over 1100m on 11 Jun carrying 60kg, and now drops 6kg to 54kg with a 300m rise in trip. With that setup and favourable barrier stats (3:1-1-1), she looks well placed to run boldly.

Comments

Fresh off a 3rd at Kocaeli over 1200m two weeks ago behind Fortissimo and Aurelia Blitz, he drops 3kg to 57kg and stretches to 1400m. The step up in trip is a query given two unplaced runs at 1400m, but a handy barrier 6 and a prior placing with this jockey offer some encouragement.

Comments

Progressive profile this season (3:1-1-0) and unbeaten with today’s rider-trainer combo (2:1-1). Fresh off a narrow 2nd at Kocaeli over 1200m in TB class two weeks ago under 55kg, having won a 2YF MDN there prior when defeating All The Stars. Steps back to 1400m where she’s yet to place, but current track form and the stable-jockey strike suggest she can hold her form.

Fourth-up and on a 12-day turnaround, she drops 7kg to 52kg after a solid 3rd at Izmir over 1400m (TB, 59kg) from barrier 6 behind Yeşimtron and Cerenity Cat. Earlier Kocaeli winner over 1200m on debut, and she owns a win at this track and a placing at the trip. With the lighter weight and a similar midfield draw (barrier 7), she looks set to run well again.

Progressive juvenile with a Bursa win over 1200m two starts back before a 6th of 7 at Istanbul over 1400m 46 days ago. Carries 55kg today after 51kg last time and draws barrier 8, with B.m.mirik taking over. Honest early prep reads well enough to be competitive again at this trip.
