Proven at Istanbul 1200m with a strong track/distance record (Istanbul, 1200: 8:4-0-1) and an overall 1200m mark of (11:4-0-2). Returns first-up, a stage where he’s 2-from-4, and drops back 200m after mixed 1400m efforts last prep; draws barrier 4 again with 60kg-class form figures at the trip in the past. Well set up to run to his preferred course and distance.

Comments

Best recent effort was 3rd at Adana over 1200m (TB) on 20 Sep, coming from barrier 11 in a 14-runner field behind Telgraf and Azp Star. The 1200m stats read well (4:0-0-3), and the rider F. Çetintaş was aboard for that placing. Back from barrier 8 with 10 days between runs, he looks suited returning to his preferred trip.

Back to 1300m after a solid 2nd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 3UP HCP 14 days ago, carrying 61kg from barrier 1 behind Thrace Fever. Prior Istanbul form includes wins at 1300m on good ground in June and July, and the jockey-trainer combination was 2nd at the latest run. Draws barrier 6 here and profiles to run well again at this trip.

Comments

Returns to 1200m with a sharp distance drop after a close 2nd over 2000m at Istanbul 12 days ago in 3Y CLM, and draws well in barrier 3. Consistent at this track and trip without winning (7:0-2-2), and reunites with A. Sözen who has a solid record aboard (5:2-0-2). Respectable recent efforts suggest he can be competitive back in sprint company.

Comes off a 1400m Istanbul win 17 days ago from barrier 1 under Gökhan Kocakaya, adding to a consistent season (3:1-1-0) and strong track record at Istanbul (10:3-3-0). Maps well again from gate 1 and has a perfect record at the track/distance (1:1-0-0), with a solid jockey/trainer combination (5:2-2-0) underpinning his claims.

Comments

Drops into a favourable barrier 2 and stays at 1200m, a trip where he’s 2 from 11 and 1 from 3 at Istanbul. On a short 5‑day turnaround after finishing 5th of 6 over 1200m at Istanbul on soft, and earlier in the prep ran 2nd over 1300m before a solid 3rd in a 3UP HCP. Proven at the track and trip suggests he can be competitive with a kinder run from the gate.

Solid recent profile with 4th at Istanbul over 1300m (3UP F&M COND4) on 30 Aug and another 4th at Bursa over 1300m on 11 Sep, both carrying 60kg. Proven at the track (Istanbul record 14:3-1-1) and comes back 100m, which looks suitable given her consistent 1300m efforts. With H.karataş engaged and a neutral barrier 7, she profiles as a credible top-four contender.

Consistent at Istanbul with a solid track record (9:2-2-1) and arrives off a 2nd over 1400m here 25 days ago under the same jockey. Drops 200m after a close 1200m 3rd two back in 3Y HCP, and he’s drawn barrier 5 where he has a positive record. Well set up to run to his honest profile.
