Solid recent 1400m form, placing 2nd at Bursa on 18 May behind Big Honey (58kg) before a 4th over the same trip there on 1 June (57kg). Proven at the Ankara 1400 with a (4:1-1-0) track-distance record and overall (49:7-10-3). Honest profile at this trip suggests he can be competitive again.

Proven at 1400m (17:5-1-3) and a 1400m winner at Istanbul on 6 May, with Bahrain the runner-up. Latest run was 5th at Istanbul over 1400m on 22 May on heavy ground. Draws barrier 2 and has a solid inside-gate record (1–3: 11:2-3-1), plus a 2nd from one ride for Er.cankiliç, suggesting another honest showing.

Comments

Runner-up at Istanbul over 1600m on May 31 (58kg, GOOD) from barrier 8. Drops 200m to 1400m, a trip he’s 1/3 at, including an Ankara win on May 12 (barrier 12, 60kg) over Copper Son. Strong rapport with A.çelik (5:3-1-0) and a solid record from barriers 7-10 (8:4-1-0) suggest he can be competitive again.

Proven at this track (16:4-6-1) and at the 1400m here (5:1-2-0). Last start ran 2nd at Ankara over 1400m on 6 Jun carrying 58kg behind Northern Nurdetta, and now backs up on a short turnaround from an improved draw in barrier 1. Reunites with H. Çizik (3:1-1-0 together), which reads well for another solid showing.

Arrives off a May 24 Adana 1300m win on soft carrying 57kg from barrier 9, defeating Gel Oglim. Previously ran 2nd at Ankara over 1400m on May 12 behind Baldwin. Draws barrier 3 here and has a handy gate record from 1–3 (8:1-2-1) with M. Akyavuz boasting a solid (9:1-4-0) partnership, so another competitive showing looks within reach.

Proven at Ankara (16:2-5-5) and comes off a 3rd over 1400m here on 28 May behind Power Of Hakeem and North Pasha. Yet to score at 1400m (7:0-2-1) but owns a handy track-distance profile (4:0-1-1), and the Çelik/Girişkin pairing has returned three thirds from three runs. Honest type who can figure in the placings from barrier 6.

Posted a solid 2nd of 11 at Istanbul over 1300m on 29 Apr (Good3, 55kg) behind Bold Lion, before finishing 10th of 10 at Ankara over 1400m on 28 May behind Power Of Hakeem. His 1400m record sits at (6:1-0-1) and he’s (5:0-1-0) at Ankara, while the partnership with Vedat Abiş is (2:0-1-0). Capable of better than last start and can be competitive if he reproduces that Istanbul effort.
