Comments

Progressive 2YO coming fourth-up after winning his last two, including a 1300m TB at Adana 12 days ago from barrier 3 under 57kg. Also took a 1200m 2Y MDN at Istanbul on soft, and his Istanbul and 1300m records sit at 1:1-0-0 apiece. Drawn well in barrier 3 again and looks to hold his form.

Back on a short turnaround second-up after finishing 4th of 8 at Ankara over 1400m (2Y COND) eight days ago from barrier 5 with E Çankaya aboard. Drops 100m and draws barrier 4, and the jockey-trainer combo has a 2:0-1 record, which suggests he can hold his form.

Comments

Placed at the track and trip (Istanbul 1300m) when 3rd in a 2Y MDN on 2 Sep from barrier 11, and again filled a placing in a 2Y COND4 over 1200m on 9 Sep carrying 55kg. Comes here off a forgiven last-place finish over 1200m 12 days ago and draws barrier 6 with 60kg. Honest juvenile with a couple of recent placings suggesting a competitive showing at this set-up.

Progressive 2YO fourth-up who won a 2Y MDN over 1500m at Istanbul two back from barrier 10, then was 7th of 7 here over 1500m last start. Drops 200m and draws barrier 5, with prior form including a 2nd over 1200m behind The Last Dragon suggesting this trip suits; capable of rebounding.

Comments

Broke through at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y MDN on 18 Sep, scoring from barrier 4 with B Akçay aboard, and now draws favourably in barrier 2 fourth-up. Earlier efforts included a 4th over 1200m and a midfield 6th at 1500m, so the slight drop back in trip looks suitable. With a 1-from-3 track record and a winning rider combination (2:1-0-0), he profiles as a solid chance to hold form.

Comments

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround (9 days), he broke through at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y FILLIES MDN, drawing barrier 10 and scoring under 57kg with A. Kaçmaz aboard. Prior to that he was 3rd over 1200m in TB class, and his only 1300m try resulted in 6th. Draws barrier 1 now and steps up 100m, with a solid jockey partnership (2:1-0-1) suggesting he can hold form.
