Comments

Draws barrier 3 after jumping from 9 last time. Latest outing was 13th of 14 at Istanbul over 2100m on 7 Jun, carrying 58kg on Good, with Loco Sugar the winner. He scored back-to-back wins at Izmir 1600m and Bursa 1400m on Soft earlier in the prep, though he’s yet to place at Istanbul (3:0-0-0), so the low draw could help him lift.

Brings consistent Bursa form, finishing 2nd at 2000m on 5 Jun behind Pehlivan Yildizi and 2nd at 1900m on 29 May behind Flash Over, after an 1800m win earlier in April. Proven at 2000m (2:0-1-1) and now draws barrier 2, with a strong record from inside gates (barriers 1-3: 6:0-4-2), so she profiles to hold form and be competitive.

Posted a 2nd at Ankara over 1600m on 4 Jun (10 runners, 52kg, GOOD) behind Mihre Eva and now draws barrier 1. Fourth-up and facing a 400m distance change, her consistent profile this season (9:2-2-1) suggests she can run well again.

Strong record from middle gates (barriers 4-6: 7:4-2-0) and a 2000m win at Izmir on 12 Mar underline suitability from barrier 5. Latest run was 5th of 6 at Izmir over 2000m on 6 Jun under 61kg behind Tiz A Bella; prior Izmir wins at 1600m and 2000m suggest a rebound is within reach.

Closed out May with a 2nd at Istanbul on 31 May over 2000m (10 runners), chasing home Whisper Of Victory under 58kg; he’s 2:1-1-0 at the trip and 1:0-1-0 at Istanbul 2000m. The booking of Ayhan Kurşun, who has a 3:2-0-0 record on him, and a solid profile from barriers 7-10 (4:1-1-0) point to another competitive showing.
