Ankara Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: -

AGE OF DISCOVERY (1) maps well off the last-start Ankara 2000m win on 15 Oct (3UP COND, 57kg) and draws better from barrier 4; strong local stats include 7: 1-1-2 at Ankara and a 2100m profile of 5: 0-3-1. RAINY SOIL (2) was runner-up to AGE OF DISCOVERY (1) in that race and is third-up with a prior 2100m win at Adana, so looks the main danger. SEQUOIA (4) brings solid 2100m credentials at Ankara (3: 1-1-1) and has won two of her last four, including over 2100m on 22 Aug. ADANALI KIZ (5) is on a short turnaround after winning at Ankara over 2000m on 29 Oct (56kg) and was a 2100m runner-up at Adana on 4 Oct, so is in the mix.

Solid at Ankara last time, running 2nd of 7 over 2000m in a 3UP COND with 58kg from barrier 7, and now draws 6. Proven at the trip with a 2100m win at Adana and holds a handy Ankara record (7:2-1-1). Third-up with the same rider, he looks to hold his form and gets a suitable setup.

Comments

On a short turnaround and rising sharply 700m in trip, he draws barrier 1 with 60kg and reunites with Mehmet Akyavuz, who has partnered him to two placings this prep. Ankara record reads (27:2-8-2) and he’s twice placed this season, including a 3rd over 1400m at Ankara on 22 Sep (3UP COND3, 62kg). Inside draw and solid local record give him a chance to settle and build into the longer trip.

Proven at Ankara 2100m with a (Ankara, 2100) record of (3:1-1-1) and draws well in barrier 3 after racing from 8 last time. Won back‑to‑back here in August/September over 2100m and 2200m with 50kg, then boxed on for 3rd of 8 over 2000m on 3 Oct behind Nejdet Başkan. Solid local profile and the map looks kinder from this gate.

Solid staying effort two back at Ankara over 2200m when 3rd in a 3UP HCP with 63kg, and was close-up 4th here at 2100m last time from the inside draw. Returns to Ankara with barrier 2 and carries 59.5kg; consistent recent runs at this trip suggest he can be competitive again.

Comments

Third-up with a solid profile at Ankara (15:3-1-0) and a handy 2100m record (4:1-1-0), he reunites with Ayhan Kurşun, with whom he is (2:1-1-0). His last two runs here were 5th at 2000m and 1400m, and the slight rise in trip looks a positive. Measured chance back towards his preferred distance from barrier 7 under 56kg.
