Bursa Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

DRAGON HERO (4) maps well after a strong Bursa prep, winning a 1300m TB on 21 Sep from barrier 13 with 55.5kg and twice runner‑up prior; now draws barrier 5 and stays near the sprint trip. TOUCH OF THUNDER (3) brings recent strength, winning a 1600m 3Y COND at Istanbul on 9 Sep with 58kg and has solid Bursa figures, though he drops 400m. İSPANOZ (2) is on a short turnaround and returns to 1200m where he won at Bursa on 24 Aug carrying 63kg; barrier 2 suits. LAST MOMENT (1) resumes after 66 days and was a 1900m Istanbul winner two back in a 3UP COND, but the sharp drop to 1200m is a query.

Comments

Returns from a 66-day freshen with barrier 4 and a sharp distance drop of 800m, having drawn well compared to recent runs. Won two back at Istanbul over 1900m in a 3UP COND (58kg), beating Ride The Lightning, and has a handy barrier profile (4-6: 3 runs, 1 win, 1 second). Mixed results since, but this setup could help him find a rhythm closer to his best.

Comments

Proven at Bursa and 1200m with solid records (Bursa 40:7-9-3; 1200m 20:3-4-2), and scored over this trip at Bursa on 24 Aug carrying 63kg. Back on a short 7‑day turnaround after a 7th at Istanbul over 1400m, he drops back 200m and draws well in barrier 2 where his gate stats are positive (1–3: 32:4-8-3). With 60kg and a rider who knows him (CurrentJockey 6:1-2-1), he maps to get every chance.

Comments

Arrives off a last‑start win at Istanbul over 1600m in 3Y COND9, scoring under 58kg from barrier 2. Earlier placed 3rd over 1600m in TB class and has a solid Bursa record (4:2-0-1), with today’s barrier 3 an inside draw again. Proven at the track and the set‑up looks suitable for another forward showing.

Comments

Prolific at Bursa (11:5-4-1) and arrives in top order, having won here over 1300m on 21 Sep from a wide barrier 13 in TB grade. Prior seconds at 1400m (3Y COND, 60kg) and 1200m (TB) read well, and he now draws barrier 5 with the same rider who boasts a strong record on him (7:4-2-0). Proven locally and holding form, he looks set to run another honest race back to 1200m.

Third-up and back 200m after an 11th of 14 over 1400m at Bursa on 7 Sep in 3Y COND, drawn better today with barrier 1 (from 9). Prior run was a sound 5th of 15 in a 3Y MDN at Bursa over 1400m on 31 Aug with 58kg. Fitter now and the inside draw could help him hold a forward spot at 1200m.
