Race 3

Prize Money: -

CALVADOS (3) appeals with a 2/3 record at 1500m and a solid last-start 2nd at Adana over 1400m (10 May, 53.5kg from barrier 11); the M.A. Solmaz combo is 4 wins, 3 seconds from 8. REFLECTED GLORY (7) is chasing a hat-trick at Ankara after wins at 1400m (61kg) and 1300m (60kg), and steps up 200m from a good draw. HARDOX (1) drops 600m in trip and owns a consistent Ankara 1500m profile (3:0-1-2), including 2nd here on 30 Apr with 61kg behind Mandrake; strong 1-2-0 record with the current rider. SECRET MAN (6) is on a short turnaround after a 2nd here over 1500m on 20 Jun (58kg) and maps well from barrier 3.

Comments

Drops 600m to 1500m and has been reliable at the Ankara 1500m (3:0-1-2). Notably ran 2nd over this track/trip on 30 Apr, splitting the placings behind Mandrake with 61kg in a 6-runner race. With A.kurşun boasting a 3:1-2-0 record on him, a competitive showing back at this distance looks within reach.

Comments

Draws barrier 1 after jumping from 10 last time, and her low-draw record is sound (1–3 barriers: 9:1-3-0). She was 2nd over 1500m at Ankara on 23 Apr behind Fleximan and had won at Adana over 1300m on 7 Apr. With M.S. Çelik booked and the inside alley, she profiles to give a honest showing.

Consistent type with (11:5-3-0) and a strong season (10:5-3-0). Ran 2nd at Adana over 1400m on 10 May from barrier 11 under 53.5kg behind My Catherine in a 12-runner race, and is 2-from-3 at 1500m. Drawn barrier 5 where he has a solid record (4:2-1-0), and the Solmaz partnership reads (8:4-3-0), so he looks well placed.

Back to 1500m after a 1600m Ankara run on 11 Jun where he finished 6th of 7 with 58kg; he was 2nd at Ankara over 1500m on 30 May carrying 60kg and has a 1500m record of (6:0-3-1), including (Ankara 1500:3:0-1-1). Müs.çelik has a strong association (4:2-0-0). From barrier 4, his proven 1500m profile gives him solid claims to run well.

Returns to Ankara after a 9th of 11 over 1400m on 2 May, finishing behind Selanik Aslani on soft ground. Prior 1400m form included a win at Adana on 22 Feb and a 3rd on 15 Mar, and he draws barrier 2 with a 1-0-2 record from gates 1–3. With Mehmet Akyavuz (4:1-1-1 on him) back aboard and solid Ankara figures (7:1-0-3), he has the platform to improve.

On a short turnaround after finishing 2nd at Ankara on 20 Jun over 1500m in 3UP CLAIMING on soft carrying 58kg, behind Tale Of The Dream. Prior run was 4th over 2000m at Ankara on 13 Jun on soft with 57kg. Barrier 3 suits given his low‑draw record (16:3-4-0), and while he’s (5:0-1-0) at Ankara 1500m, his consistent recent efforts keep him in the mix.
