Prize Money: -

OSULLIVAN (4) maps as the one to beat with 5 wins from 6 at Kocaeli over 1900m and a recent 1900m win here on 21 Apr; drops 1.5kg from a last-start 4th at 2000m. DRAGON KINGDOM (1) brings strong 1900m figures (5:3-1-1) and was 2nd at Kocaeli 1700m on 26 May after back‑to‑back 2000m wins; steps up 200m but rises to 60kg. PRENS LEVENT (5) is 4 from 5 at Kocaeli and 3:1-2-0 at 1900m; last seen 4th behind DRAGON KINGDOM at Kocaeli 2000m on 28 Apr and can lift back to this trip. EL CACIQUE (2) draws barrier 1 after a 4th in that same 26 May Kocaeli 1700m race and owns a recent 1900m win at Izmir (12 Apr); 3:2-1-0 with the current rider.

Comments

Proven at 1900m (5:3-1-1) and comes off a solid 2nd at Kocaeli over 1700m on 26 May behind Wardenclyffe carrying 58kg. Up 2kg to 60kg but recent 2000m wins at Ankara and Kocaeli and a positive Akin Sözen partnership (5:2-1-1) keep him in the mix.

Consistent this season (14:6-2-1) and the partnership with M.m.bi̇lgi̇n reads 3:2-1-0. Off a 4th at Kocaeli over 1700m on GOOD3 with 58kg, he steps up 200m to 1900m where he is (5:2-0-0), rises to 60kg, and draws barrier 1, suggesting another honest showing.

Outstanding at Kocaeli 1900m with a (6:5-0-0) record and strong overall at the track (11:6-1-1). Comes off a 4th at Kocaeli over 2000m on May 19 carrying 61.5kg, and now drops 1.5kg in weight and 100m in trip. With U Temur again (8:2-3-0 together), this proven setup points to a competitive showing.

Comments

Ultra-consistent type with a strong overall record (26:16-3-3) and an excellent mark at this track (5:4-0-0). Latest run was 4th at Kocaeli on Apr 28 over 2000m on Good with 58kg, and is reliable at 1900m (3:1-2-0). Barrier 2 suits given his low-draw record (1–3: 20:13-2-2), though he rises 2kg to 60kg, so a competitive showing is within reach.

In good order this season (8:1-3-2) and again teams with A. Çelik (13:4-3-4) after a 3rd at Kocaeli over 1700m on May 26, finishing behind Wardenclyffe and Dragon Kingdom. Draws slightly better in barrier 6 than last time and, with a strong overall record (31:11-6-6), looks set to be competitive.
