Comments

Comes off an Ankara 2000m 3UP COND win 12 days ago with E. Çankaya, defeating Golden Promise, and is unbeaten at the track (1:1-0-0). Second-up here with a positive 2100m record (2:1-0-0). Drawn 6 and notably effective from middle barriers (4-6: 10:5-2-2), so profiles to run well again.

Comments

Placed form around Ankara reads well, including 2nd over 2200m on 4 Jun carrying 60.5kg and 3rd over 1500m on 16 Jun. Steps up 500m in trip from a 1600m Group 1 at Istanbul 14 days ago and draws barrier 3, an improved gate from last start. With a sound Ankara record (7:1-2-3) and H.karataş booked, the setup looks suitable for a competitive showing.

Placed 2nd of 8 at Ankara over 2000m in 3UP last start, carrying 60kg from barrier 8 behind Percy Jackson, and now draws barrier 5. Boasts strong staying stats with a 2100m record of (4:2-1-0) and a perfect track/trip mark of (1:1-0-0), and goes well for this rider (9:3-2-1). Solid credentials to figure again.

Comments

Prolific this season with 6 wins from 15 starts, and draws barrier 2 with a strong record from barriers 1-3 (11:4-1-2). Last start he was 3rd in a GROUP 3 3UP at Kocaeli over 1900m on 9 Jun carrying 60kg behind The Protecter; earlier in the prep he posted back-to-back Izmir wins at 1600m (SOFT) and 1900m. Returns after 33 days and looks a dependable prospect from a favourable draw.

Unbeaten at the track and trip (1:1) and perfect at 2100m (1:1), with a solid overall Ankara record (8:4-1-1). Last start finished 7th of 7 at Kocaeli over 1900m in a GROUP 3 3UP on good ground with 60kg. Second-up today and owns a perfect second-up record (1:1), so can bounce back.

Previously won at Ankara over 2200m on Jun 4 on GOOD going carrying 57kg, and now draws barrier 4 with M.akyavuz, who is 1-from-1 on him. Consistent profile suggests he can be competitive again.

Arrives off a last-start Ankara 2000m 3UP win on 23 Jun, carrying 60kg from barrier 2 in an 8-runner field, defeating Dragon Kingdom. Strong profile with this season (12:5-3-1), excellent figures at the track and 2100m (CurrentTrack, 2100: 3:2-0-1; 2100: 4:2-0-1), and a favourable draw given his barriers 1-3 record (14:6-3-3) from gate 1.

Comments

In top form this season (7:5-0-1) and arrives off a Kocaeli 1900m GROUP 3 3UP win on 9 Jun carrying 60kg from barrier 7, defeating Prens Levent. Steps up 200m and has a solid 2100m record (3:1-1-0). Drawn 7 again and proven from barriers 7-10 (8:5-1-1), with a tidy record at this track (2:0-1-1), so he sets up well.
