Ankara Race 9

Türk Veteri̇ner Heki̇mleri̇ Bi̇rli̇ği̇

Prize Money: -

THOMAS SHELBY (4) sets the standard, coming off a 1st over 1600m and a consistent Ankara profile, and he’s 1-from-1 at 1200m here from an inside draw. HAVACI (2) looks the main danger with strong 1200m stats (3 wins from 4) and recent placings at Ankara suggesting he holds his form back in trip. MOUNTAIN (3) has deep course credentials and has been holding a placing rhythm, and his prior 1000m 2nd here says the drop to 1200m suits. RECUERDAME (6) is a knockout hope back to 1200m after a recent Ankara win at the trip, but his last two runs at longer were plain. Lean THOMAS SHELBY (4) in a tight finish.

Comments

Has a solid profile from similar draws, with (6:3-0-1) when jumping from barriers 4 to 6. Last start was 8th of 10 over 1300m at Adana on 13 Oct. Drops back to 1200m and stays with M.S. Çelik for D. Tekeli. Inevitable maps to a suitable barrier range again and can improve.

Comments

Strong 1200m profile (4:3-0-1) and proven at Ankara (5:1-1-2) makes Havacı a key player. Placed in 4 of last 5 and comes back from 1400m, which looks a plus given the July Ankara 1200m win. Latest was 3rd of 6 over 1400m here on 24 Oct on soft. Solid claims back to the shorter trip at a track she handles.

Proven at Ankara 1200m with a (6:2-1-1) record and overall (38:9-6-10) at the track. Comes back from 1600m after finishing 3rd of 5 here on 22 Oct, and recent form reads placed in 3 of last 5. M.G. Arslan rides for E. Acer. Solid credentials for this set-up at the trip.

Comments

Strong Ankara profile with (27:10-7-3), and arrives off a 1st of 5 here over 1600m on 22 Oct. Draws the inside after barrier 4 last time, and has solid returns from low alleys (barriers 1-3: 17:5-5-3). Recent form is consistent, placed in 4 of last 5. Well set up back at Ankara with a favourable gate and reliable platform.

Proven at Ankara with a solid record (12:3-3-2) and effective at 1200m (4:1-2-0), which suits the drop from 1600m since last start. Latest run was 6th of 8 over 1600m on soft here on 29 Oct, and this shorter trip profiles closer to his best. H. Çizik takes the ride for Hüs. Tekinalp. Stays in the same grade and looks well placed back to this distance.

Drops back to 1200m and draws better from barrier 5 after coming from 8 last start. Proven at the trip with a strong (10:4-2-0) record. Most recent 1200m run at Ankara on 26 Sep was a win (1st of 11). With E. Atlamaz up, this set-up looks suitable back to a preferred distance.

Proven at Ankara with a handy record (6:2-0-2). Comes off a 1300m Adana run on 13 Oct when 7th of 10, and the drop back to 1200m looks a plus on past local form. H. Karataş booked and a return to this track appeals. Competitive if reproducing his better Ankara efforts.

Comments

Draws better here, moving from barrier 6 to 3, which can help at 1200m. Last start at Ankara over 1400m on 29 Oct she finished 7th of 7 on soft ground. Stays in the same grade and cuts back in trip with F. Çetinbaş engaged for H. Sunkar, which offers a cleaner set-up. A softer draw and the drop to 1200m give her a chance to improve.
