Ankara Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

KINJAL (1) sets the standard at 2200m with 3 wins from its last 5 and a strong Ankara/T&D record (4 wins from 7), forgiving the latest 2400m miss. HEAD VORKER (6) looks the main danger third up, coming off a 2nd over 1900m and boasting a perfect Ankara/T&D record. LOVE SEA (4) is in the mix drawn inside and back to 2200m where it’s 2-from-3 at the trip, recent Ankara placings underpinning its chance. GREEN EYED MEMO (3) has been consistently around the mark and already placed at this T&D, but lacks the winning punch of the top two; lean to KINJAL (1) on proven course-and-distance strength.

Comments

Won 3 of last 5 and owns a strong record at Ankara 2200m (7:4-1-1). Last start finished 9th of 11 here at 2400m, but two back was 1st of 6 over this trip on 15 Sep. Draw improves meaningfully from 11 to 6 and the distance drops back to 2200m. Kinjal stays in the same grade and profiles well back at his preferred course and trip.

Comments

Kept finding to finish 3rd of 5 over 2200m at Ankara on 31 Oct, and returns to the same trip and venue. Stays in the same grade. With Serh. Çelik booked again for T.O. Kara, the set-up looks straightforward for a similar effort.

Placed in 4 of last 5 and brings consistent provincial form. Ran 3rd of 9 over 2200m at Ankara on 3 Oct on GOOD, then 5th of 8 over 1900m here on 24 Oct on SOFT. Back to 2200m suits on exposed evidence, and R. Kurt sticks. Solid claims to be in the finish for S. Kan.

Proven at 2200m at Ankara with a strong (3:2-0-1) record at the track and trip. Last start was 4th of 12 here over 1600m, and now rises in distance. Maps better from barrier 1 after drawing 12 last time. With that profile, Love Sea looks well placed back up to this journey.

Draws better than last start, coming into barrier 4 after jumping from 7. Latest run was 6th of 9 over 1900m at Istanbul on 9 Oct on good ground. With the handier gate and a step to 2200m, Warrior Lion gets a more suitable set-up.

Third up and placed in 2 of last 3, including 2nd of 8 over 1900m at Ankara on 24 Oct on soft. Draws better from barrier 2 after coming from 6 last time, which should help over this trip. Strong local profile with (10:1-5-0) at Ankara and has teamed well with A. Kurşun (4:0-3-0). Well set to give another honest account at Ankara over 2200m.
