Comments

Consistent juvenile with a solid CurrentTrack record (7:1-1-4) and placed 3rd at Istanbul over 1500m on 30 Sep in TB, drawn wide and carrying 57kg. Drops 300m back to 1200m where she’s placed before, and carries 58.5kg from barrier 6 after a 16‑day turnaround. Honest profile suggests she can be competitive again at this trip.

Comments

Debuted at Istanbul over 1300m in a TB race and won from barrier 1 under 57kg, beating Orbital Flame, and returns second-up after 16 days. Rises to 58.5kg, draws barrier 4, and trims back 100m, with the same jockey-trainer combination unbeaten together (1:1-0-0). Solid winning platform for this set-up.

Comments

Impressed second-up at Ankara, winning a 2Y MDN over 1200m from barrier 4 with 57kg under H Karataş, and now draws barrier 3. Third-up today with a perfect 1:1-0-0 at the trip and unbeaten in one ride for the jockey. Progressive profile suggests she can run well again.

Comments

Draws the inside gate and drops 300m to 1200m, a trip where it has a win from three attempts and a positive track-distance record. Comes off consecutive 4th placings at Istanbul over 1400m-1500m, and gets a slight weight dip to 56.5kg. Inside draw and distance drop look suitable for a forward showing.

Comments

Comes off a 1200m Ankara 2Y MDN win 20 days ago, scoring from barrier 6 and beating Konnichiwa. Prior efforts included a 3rd over 1400m at Adana behind Fire Of Valeria and a 3rd over 1200m at Ankara. Draws barrier 2 and drops to 56kg, which sets up well given the 1200m distance record (2:1-0-1).
