Bursa Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: -

TENACIOUS KHAN (7) sets a solid benchmark with two wins and a 2nd from his last three at 1400m, and his consistent record suits this trip. DARK VEYRON (3) is the main danger off a streak of strong results, having won 2 of his last 3 and already proven at 1400m. LEGENDARY MAJESTY (6) has a handy 1400m record and arrives off a placing, so can figure if holding that level. FEARLESS DRAGON (5) also rates a hope given strong Bursa stats and a last-start win, though his 1400m returns are less potent than over shorter. Narrow lean to TENACIOUS KHAN (7) in a competitive clash with DARK VEYRON (3).

Comments

Proven at 1400m with a (10:3-2-1) record, which reads well for this trip. Latest run was 9th of 9 over 1300m at Bursa on 2 Nov on good ground, so stepping back to his preferred distance looks a plus. F. Çetinbaş rides for H. Sunkar. Solid 1400m profile makes him a viable hope.

Proven at Bursa with a solid record (7:3-1-1) and effective at this trip here (3:1-1-0). Last start was 6th of 6 over 1600m at Istanbul on 25 Oct on soft ground, and now drops back to 1400m. Blizzard teams with O. Öztürk for A. Öcal and returns to a track-and-trip that reads well. Well set to rebound back at Bursa over 1400m.

Comes off a 4th of 9 over 1300m at Bursa on 2 Nov and now stretches to 1400m. Retains O. Atmaca and sticks to the same track. Scope to build on that recent local effort in a small field.

Proven at Bursa with a strong record (15:6-1-4) and arrives off a 1st of 9 over 1300m here on 2 Nov. At 1400m, Fearless Dragon has twice placed from three tries at the track and trip.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and comes off a 3rd of 10 over 1400m at Izmir on 15 Oct. Draw improves from barrier 7 to 4, which should help at this trip. Strong combo with M. Kaya and At. Gökçe (9:5-1-0). Legendary Majesty stays in the same grade and looks well set up on recent evidence.

Proven at 1400m with a strong (3:2-1-0) record and arrives having won 2 of his last 3. Last time at Ankara over 1400m he ran 2nd of 5 on good ground, keeping his form intact. The A. Kurşun/H. Harmanbaşi combination also reads (3:2-1-0). Well set up to perform to that profile at this trip.
