Izmir Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: -

HARD RUNNER (2) Brave effort to win narrowly last run at Bursa and suited at this trip in the past. Won last 3 in succession. Jockey Vedat Abi̇ş is a plus. Strongly consider. HARDOX (1) Well beaten when 4th last run at this track. Looking past the last run and ideal trip as proven previously. Running with confidence since returning from a break. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. VITE VITE (5) Ran 2nd last run at this venue. In fine form since returning from a break. One of the hopes. WEST KENAN (6) Underwhelming when 4th last start at Bursa. Muhammed Mi̇R Bi̇Lgi̇N is a suitable booking. Not out of this.

Started $18.00 and average at best when 5th last time at this track but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Back in trip. Needs significant improvement.
