KUBAT KASIRGASI (1) appeals with a 1200m record of 6:2-3-0 and a perfect track/trip stat, fresh off a 1200m Ankara win 10 days ago with 58kg and proven with G. Kocakaya. BOAZ (5) drops 300m after winning a 1500m race here 16 days ago with 56kg; barrier 1 suits and he’s 1200m 4:1-1-1. DESRUCTOR (3) cuts back 800m after a 4th here over 2000m nine days ago, having won a 1500m Istanbul race two back from a wide gate.

Comments

Arrives off a 1200m win at Ankara on 2 Jun (GOOD, 58kg) under Gökhan Kocakaya, beating Double World in a 7-runner race. Proven at the trip (1200: 6:2-3-0) and the rider’s record with him is positive (2:1-0-1), so a repeat of that level keeps him in the mix.

Closed 4th of 6 at Ankara over 1500m on 30 May (56kg, GOOD), with Selanik Aslani the winner. Comes back to 1200m where he’s yet to place (5:0-0-0), but reunites with Ertuğrul Cankiliç who has a 1:0-0-1 record on him; capable of holding a spot if the drop in trip suits.

Drops 800m after a 4th of 7 at Istanbul over 2000m on 3 Jun carrying 58kg, behind Mr Çirak. Previously won at Istanbul over 1500m on 13 May (SOFT) with 53kg, defeating Erkocum from barrier 15. Proven at the track (2:1-0-0) and has a positive record with this rider (2:1-0-0), which reads well for today’s set-up.

1300m - 2100m

Comments

Drops sharply from 2100m and backs up after seven days, returning to 1200m where the record reads (6:1-1-2); barrier 3 aligns with a positive inside-gate profile (barriers 1-3: 15:3-0-2). Was 10th of 12 at Istanbul last week behind Noble Princess, though overall Istanbul figures are sound (25:3-1-1). Capable of improving back to this trip with a favourable draw.

Scored at Istanbul over 1500m on 27 May, defeating Togarma while carrying 56kg in a 6-runner field. Drops 300m and draws barrier 1, with a handy 1200m record at Istanbul (4:1-1-1) and solid figures with Erhan Aktuğ (8:2-3-1), which reads well for this setup.

Arrives off a game 2nd at Istanbul over 2000m on 29 May, chasing home Son Of Saint on GOOD going with 56kg. Drops sharply to 1200m where the Istanbul 1200 record reads (6:0-2-2), and overall at the track is (25:3-6-5). Drawn 6 with a solid record from barriers 4-6 (8:2-1-2), he’s holding form and looks capable of giving a honest account at the trip.

Strong last-start winner at Adana on Mar 23 over 1300m on heavy from barrier 10 under 54kg, with Müslüm Çelik aboard, beating Dark Veyron. Draws barrier 2 now and retains the same rider, with an overall record of (6:3-1-0). Back to 1200m after that win, noting he was 4th over this trip at Adana on Feb 15, so he looks a solid chance.

Comments

On a 6-day turnaround after finishing 4th of 7 over 1900m at Ankara on 6 Jun (GOOD) carrying 58kg behind Rite Of Spring. Previously won his only 1200m start at Ankara on 5 May with today’s rider Müslüm Çelik aboard. The sharp drop back 700m into a sprint looks suitable and he can give a good account.
