Strong course profile (3:2-1-0) and unbeaten at 1500m (1:1-0-0, including this track/distance), now dropping 300m from last start. Was 6th of 7 at Bursa over 1800m on 12 Jun (58kg, Good) behind West Kenan, but had won his two prior runs at Kocaeli, including 1500m on 19 May (61kg) over My Rebellious Girl. With a solid partnership with G. Özçelik (13:4-2-3), the setup back to 1500m looks suitable.

Consistent this season (5:2-2-1) and comes off a Kocaeli 1500m 2nd to Lupelyan 19 days ago. Has yet to win at the track but is 2:0-2-0 here and 1500m reads 2:0-1-0, including 1:0-1-0 at the track/trip. Placed in his only ride for R.ketme and draws barrier 5; profiles as a solid chance again under 59.5kg.

Steps out 5.5kg lighter to 55.5kg and drops 200m after finishing 7th of 15 in a 3Y HCP over 1700m at Bursa on 15 Jun from barrier 1, behind Alin Ece. Prior to that had been holding form at 2000m here with 3rd on 15 May (GOOD) and 2nd on 24 Apr (HEAVY), and has a solid partnership with N. Avci (9:2-3-3) including strong numbers with the stable (7:2-1-3). From the inside draw again, the lighter weight and set-up give him a reasonable chance to improve.

Comments

First-up after 120 days with a (2:0-1-1) fresh record, and reunites with Berk Gökçe who rode him to 3rd at Bursa over 1400m on 16 Feb behind Woodland Cry and Dragon Blue. The draw improves from 12 last start to barrier 7, and his figures at this track (22:0-4-3) and at 1500m (4:0-1-0; track/distance 3:0-1-0) suggest he keeps finding the frame. Genuine place claims.

Proven at Kocaeli (2:1-1-0) and arrives off a last-start 1800m win there on Jun 11 from barrier 8. Drops 300m to 1500m, a trip where he was 2nd in a 3Y HCP at Kocaeli on Jun 2 (Good) behind Al Sarout. Barrier 4 and 52kg look suitable for another competitive showing.

Placed twice at 1400m recently, including 2nd at Bursa on 8 May behind Woodland Cry and 3rd at Kocaeli on 19 May behind Big Avalanche and Woodland Cry carrying 51–51.5kg. Was 6th of 15 at Kocaeli over 1200m last start from barrier 10; steps up 300m and draws barrier 2 with 51.5kg, but is (24:0-2-3) and is yet to place at 1500m (2:0-0-0).
