Comments

Proven at this track/trip with a 2:1-0-0 record and owns a solid 1200m profile (5:1-1-2). Drops back 200m after an 11th of 15 at Istanbul over 1400m on May 29 from barrier 16 with 62.5kg, and the draw improves to barrier 7 here; fourth-up, that setup gives him a chance to lift.

Back on a short turnaround after finishing 6th of 11 in a 3UP CLAIMING over 1500m at Ankara on 20 Jun (soft) carrying 57kg, behind Tale Of The Dream. Drops 300m to 1200m, a trip where the horse is 0-0-0 from 6, and with an Ankara record of 0-0-0 from 4, the set-up asks for improvement.

Back to 1200m at Ankara third-up looks suitable, having won the only run at this track and trip and owning a solid track record (12:2-2-1). Last start finished 6th of 10 over 1600m here on 4 Jun behind Mihre Eva carrying 54.5kg. From barrier 5, the 400m drop should aid a more effective showing.

Arrives off an Istanbul 1600m 3Y HCP win on 17 Jun, defeating Damperli, and backs up on a short turnaround at 8 days. Drops 400m to 1200m where he’s (2:0-1-0), and draws barrier 1, an improvement from gate 4 last time. Genuine hope if transferring that mile form back to the sprint.

Back to 1200m suits, with a (5:2-0-0) record at the trip and a 1200m Adana win on 10 May (beat Syrena) with M A Solmaz aboard. Latest run was 8th of 10 over 1400m at Adana on soft from barrier 1 under 53.5kg behind Maximus Man; drawn 3 here and with the rider’s 5:1-0-1 record on him, the return to his preferred distance can spark improvement.

Comes off a 1600m win at Ankara on 11 Jun, carrying 51.5kg and beating Gray Dream, and is 1:1-0-0 with M Bayir. Drops 400m to 1200m, a trip at which the record is (1:0-0-0), though the Ankara figures are sound (6:1-1-0). In form and proven at the track, but the sharper journey is the test.

Has a solid record at the trip and venue with (Ankara, 1200) 3:0-0-2, including a 3rd over 1200m here on 28 May behind Army Hero and Runner On River. Last start was 11th of 16 over 1600m at Ankara in a 3Y MDN from barrier 11 on soft, and now drops 400m and draws barrier 2. With two thirds from three attempts at 1200, the setup looks more suitable.
