AKERBEY (2) maps as the one to beat fourth-up after winning at Ankara over 1200m on 21 May with 60kg and having earlier defeated BOZKIR YIĞİDİ (1) at Ankara over 1100m on 2 May. BOZKIR YIĞİDİ (1) brings consistent figures, latest 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m on 20 May, and draws barrier 2.

Comments

Ultra-consistent this prep (4:2-2-0), most recently 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m on 20 May behind Aziz Dostum carrying 53kg. Earlier won at Kocaeli over 1200m (beating Öztatmar) after a 2nd at Ankara 1100m on SOFT behind Akerbey. Draws barrier 2 and drops to 27kg with H.karataş booked, so another honest showing looks on the cards.

Comments

Boasts a sharp (3:2-1-0) record and arrives off a 1200m Ankara win on 21 May carrying 60kg, defeating Hazan Sabahi in a 5-runner field. Also scored at Ankara 1100m on 2 May on Soft over Bozkir Yiğidi after a debut 2nd to Hürtayfa. With Gökhan Kocakaya 1/1 aboard and holding strong current form, he looks a measured winning hope.

Comments

On a short turnaround, he was 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m on 31 May (6 runners, GOOD) behind Alamaç and Korgün carrying 59kg. Reunites with Ali Yildiz (2:1-0-1) and again draws barrier 5, a gate from which he has placed twice. Drops 33kg to 26kg, and his 1300m/track figures (1:0-0-1)/(3:0-0-2) point to another solid showing.

Comments

Comes off a last-start win at Istanbul over 1200m on 27 May, defeating Queen Hanim on good ground carrying 57kg. Drops a massive 31kg today and returns to a venue where he’s (4:1-0-2), with the rider having a solid (3:1-0-2) partnership, so he looks set to give another honest showing.

Comments

Comes off a 4th at Bursa over 1200m on 1 Jun (9 runners, GOOD) behind Asaletli Çocuk, and now backs up on an 8‑day turnaround with a better draw in barrier 3 and a 28kg drop. Reunites with Erhan Aktuğ, who guided him to a 1200m win at Izmir on 14 May (GOOD) over Guregh. Well suited by the lighter weight and favourable gate.

Won two back at Bursa over 1200m on 18 May with this jockey, who is 1:1-0-0 on the horse. Back on a short turnaround after a 6th at Bursa over 1200m on 1 June and now draws the inside barrier. The proven rider combination and gate 1 offer a straightforward platform for improvement.

Back on a 7-day turnaround after finishing 6th of 6 at Ankara over 1200m on Good. Earlier this prep he was 3rd at Ankara over 1100m on Soft and has a Diyarbakir 1000m win on the card, and now draws barrier 4. With an overall record of (5:1-0-1), a return to his earlier Ankara placing would see him competitive.
