Ran well when 2nd last run around here but coming back in distance. Nevzat Avci̇ is a key engagement. Putting up notable efforts since coming back from a spell. Absolutely right in this.

Backs up quickly. Odds of $14.00 and lacked competitiveness when 4th last time around here but has a positive stall. Hard to have.

On a short turnaround. Jumped at $19.00 and clearly outclassed when 5th last run at this venue and back to a shorter distance. Si̇Nan AkşIn is a key booking. Rough chance.
