Proven at Istanbul (5:2-1-1) and comes off a 2000m Istanbul 3Y HCP win on 24 Jun carrying 61kg, beating Done This from barrier 7. The partnership with A.çeli̇k reads (3:2-1-0) and the draw improves to barrier 5. With a solid overall record (12:3-4-1), he looks set to run well again.

Comments

Draws the rail and has recent 2100m efforts at Istanbul, finishing 4th on May 27 (GOOD) and May 13 (SOFT), both from barrier 1. Since then he was 7th of 10 over 2400m on Jun 7 (60.5kg) and 7th of 9 over 2000m on Jun 12 behind Star Blood. Winless at 2100m (11:0-0-0), but the inside draw and a jockey who is 11:1-0-1 on him keep him in the mix for a minor result.

Comments

Comes off back-to-back wins, latest at Istanbul on 14 Jun over 1900m (Good) carrying 52kg from barrier 4, beating Papa Runner in a 15-runner race; unbeaten at this track (1:1-0-0) and perfect with this jockey (2:2-0-0). Draws barrier 2 and steps up 200m to 2100m, a trip at which he finished 5th at Adana on Soft earlier this prep, so the rise in distance is the small query but his current momentum is solid.

Won at Istanbul over 2400m on 7 Jun with E. Çizik up, with Senkron the runner-up. Latest was 6th in a 3Y HCP over 1600m at Istanbul on 17 Jun from barrier 8; now draws 3 and steps up 500m. Istanbul record (3:1-0-0) and the 1:1 partnership with today’s jockey suggest he can be competitive with this setup.

Placed 3rd of 15 at Istanbul over 1900m on 14 Jun on a Good track, behind Mir Emre and Papa Runner. Previously ran 2nd of 10 over 2400m at Istanbul on 7 Jun behind Lion Icardi. With overall (18:2-3-1) and this season (8:0-1-1), his recent placements suggest he can be in the mix again.

Draws barrier 4 after finishing 5th of 11 in a 2100m 3Y at Istanbul on 19 Jun, behind Start Up. Prior run was a solid 3rd over 2400m on Good at Istanbul from barrier 10 carrying 50.5kg. Overall (24:0-5-4), with a 2100m record of (6:0-1-1) and a 5:0-2-0 partnership with today’s rider, points to another honest showing.

Yet to place from seven runs at Istanbul and unplaced in two attempts at 2100m, with recent finishes of 11th and 8th over this trip. Last start she was 11th of 14 in a 3UP F&M HCP at Istanbul (2100m, Good) behind Waiting A Sunnyday carrying 52kg; needs clear improvement to feature.
