Kocaeli 2000m 4UP COND3 winner two starts back under 60kg, then 12 days ago was 5th at Ankara over 2000m on soft. Drops 100m here and rises 2kg to 60kg, with a solid track record at this venue (3:1-1-0) and a consistent 1900m profile (3:0-0-2). Genuine chance if he holds that recent staying form.

Comments

Back on a short turnaround and draws barrier 1, with a helpful 500m rise in trip after a 9th over 1400m at Kocaeli seven days ago. Prior to that he ran 2nd in a 2000m 4UP COND3 at Kocaeli carrying 63kg, and he now drops to 56kg with a jockey who has twice finished 2nd on him. Strong track stats without a win (18:0-5-5) but today’s setup suits and he maps to get every chance from the inside draw.

Comments

Proven at the track and trip with a perfect (CurrentTrack, 1900) record (1:1-0-0) and a strong overall CurrentTrack profile (16:5-1-2). On a short turnaround (7 days) after a 1400m 7th at Kocaeli in 4UP COND, he rises 5.5kg to 58kg but draws better in barrier 6. Solid local credentials suggest he can hold his own back up in distance.

Comments

Proven at this trip with a 1900m record of (10:2-3-2) and comes in from a close 2nd at Izmir over 1900m (AR) before a solid 3rd at Ankara over 2000m (AR). Draws well in barrier 2 and carries 57kg after 56kg last start, with a short 12-day turnaround suggesting he holds his form. Measured recent efforts at middle distances give him genuine claims.

Drops back from recent Adana runs over 1500m and 1200m, now up 400m on a month’s freshen, with a favourable barrier 3 and 56kg. Has a 1900m placing on the page and boasts a strong low-draw record (barriers 1-3: 8:5-0-2), which suits today’s map. Genuine chance to improve off consistent midfield efforts.

Fourth-up with a notable weight drop to 53kg and a 400m rise in trip after finishing 11th of 12 over 1500m at Istanbul on 2 Oct (4UP COND 3, 56.5kg). Has a solid barrier profile in gates 4-6 (14:4-1-1) and owns a win at this track, which offers some hope if the extra distance helps.
