Closed off for 3rd over 1900m at Elazig 21 days ago in TB grade from barrier 5 under 58.5kg, finishing behind Eurofighter and Unseen Power. Drops 0.5kg to 58kg and stays at a trip where he’s placed 2 of 4, with solid course stats (Elazig 24:2-7-5). Strong jockey-trainer combination adds confidence for another competitive showing.

Comments

Comes here off a strong Elazig profile this season (5:2-0-0) and is 2-from-4 at 2000m lately, including wins on 31 Aug (TB, 2000m) and 30 Sep with Mehmet Taşkaya aboard. Steps back 100m to 1900m where his record is solid without a win (5:0-1-2), but draws better this time (barrier 6 after 12) and carries 57kg. Proven locally and with the in-form rider, he appeals as a genuine chance to figure.

Game 2nd at Sanliurfa over 2100m nine days ago behind Bromance, and now drops 200m with a 3kg rise to 57kg. Draws barrier 1, where he placed over this track and trip on 9 Sep, and owns a solid 1900m record (13:1-1-3). Genuine recent form and the inside draw give him a workable setup.

Comments

Fourth-up and drawn well in barrier 3, she drops to 53.5kg after tackling 1900m on soft at Istanbul last time. Earlier runs this prep haven’t featured in the finish, but she does have a prior Istanbul 1300m 2nd on Good3. Soft draw and lighter weight give her a chance to settle closer and improve.

Consistent without winning this season (5:0-3-0) and placed 2nd at Diyarbakir over 1800m on 10 Oct, finishing behind Blue Comet. Also ran 2nd over 2000m at Diyarbakir on 12 Sep behind King Ancestor, and owns a solid good-track profile (15:0-6-0). Draws barrier 2 with 53kg and looks ready to be competitive again at a similar trip.

Back to 1200m with a 5.5kg drop to 52kg after finishing 5th over this trip at Elazig on 7 Oct (TB, barrier 2) on heavy ground. Earlier in the prep she placed over 1800m (TB, Elazig, 24 Aug) carrying 52kg, and her Elazig record (11:1-2-2) is serviceable. With a favourable barrier 4 and the rider boasting a 2:1-0-1 record on her, she has claims if the tempo suits.
