Kocaeli Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: -

ERGÜNEŞ (3) rates on top after a 1st over this Kocaeli 1500m on HEAVY, backing up a strong local record and the inside draw suits. GÜRDALHAN (4) is a danger stepping to 1500m third up, coming off a 1st at Istanbul and with two wins from his past three. ALTINBORA (2) has solid consistency with four placings from the last five and a 2nd here at 1400m, and maps well from barrier 4. SALGUR (5) is around the mark with three recent seconds and a good record from low gates, but needs to prove it at 1500m at this track; narrow verdict to ERGÜNEŞ (3).

Comments

Placed in 3 of last 5 and comes off a 1st of 11 over 1600m at Ankara on 31 Oct, which reads well for this 1500m test. Draws a similar alley and has handled barriers 4-6 with (4:1-1-1), suggesting no issue with the map. M. Kaya rides for Ke. Yilmaz, and staying in the same grade keeps the setup straightforward. Solid claims if reproducing that latest effort.

Strong platform here after winning over 1500m on HEAVY at Kocaeli on 27 Oct. Proven at the venue (3:1-1-0) and draws within the 1-3 alley range that has produced 1 win, 1 second and 1 third from 4 starts. O. Yildiz sticks for O. Demir. Well set to hold form under similar conditions.

Third up and arrives off a 1st of 6 over 1300m at Istanbul on 28 Oct, and has won 2 of last 3. Proven combo with H. Karataş and B. Akbulut (3:2-0-0) is a plus. Steps to 1500m on heavy at Kocaeli, and the profile suggests he can hold form.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and arrives off a 2nd of 6 over 1400m at Izmir on 24 Oct. Draws better from barrier 3 after jumping from 6 last start and drops to 57kg. Proven at Kocaeli with (7:1-2-2), and has strong numbers with R. Ketme (9:2-3-3). Solid claims in a small field on heavy ground.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and now draws much better, shifting from barrier 6 to 2 with a 2kg drop to 55kg. Last start at Istanbul over 1400m on 1 Nov was a 14th of 14 on GOOD going, so this set-up looks kinder. Same grade as last start.
