Closed off for 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m (3UP) on Jul 8 carrying 60kg and backs up on a short turnaround. Drops 200m to 1200m where he’s (9:2-1-3), with strong low-barrier stats (barriers 1-3: 12:5-0-3) and recent Istanbul sprint wins on Jun 17 (1200m, 3UP OPEN) over Victory Matra and Jun 3 (1100m) over Turkish Punch. Drawn 3 at a track he handles (11:3-2-2), he appeals as a solid chance.

Runner-up at Ankara over 1600m on 27 Jun in a 7-runner 3UP COND 7 on GOOD carrying 60kg behind Patrick Star, and again 2nd there over 1600m on 11 Jun behind Bull Man. Drops 400m to 1200m where he’s (12:3-2-0), and his current season (14:3-4-2) reads solid for this setup.

Proven at Istanbul with a (15:4-2-2) record and a solid season (9:2-2-2). Drops 200m after a 6th of 9 over 1400m here on 21 Jun (58kg, 3UP COND 9) behind Bello Boy, having earlier posted a 2nd at 1500m and a 3rd at 1900m. Was 6th of 9 over 1200m here on 10 May behind Charabanc, though draws a touch better in barrier 5 and is capable around this track.

Comments

On a short turnaround after finishing 8th of 9 at Istanbul over 1400m (3UP) on 8 Jul carrying 57kg from barrier 4, and now drops 200m. Starts from barrier 4 under K.gökçe, and his middle-gate record is sound (barriers 4-6: 11:3-3-1) with a this-season return of (17:3-2-0). Yet to win at 1200m (5:0-1-0) or at the Istanbul 1200m (2:0-0-0), so the trip drop needs to spark improvement.

Draws barrier 1 and boasts a solid Istanbul record (47:9-14-2), with strong returns from low gates (barriers 1-3: 28:5-9-1). Recent form includes seconds at 1000m and 1300m and a 4th of 9 over 1400m here in a 3UP COND 9 on 21 Jun behind Bello Boy; now drops 200m to 1200m where he’s (7:1-2-1) and (Istanbul, 1200) (5:1-0-1). The current rider has a 11:3-1 record on him and the draw should set him up to run well.

Proven at Istanbul (20:4-5-2) and effective from low draws, with a solid record from barriers 1-3 (15:2-5-2), and now maps from barrier 2. Drops 200m after a 7th of 9 over 1400m here 22 days ago with 58kg, having filled 2nd over 1100m prior from the inside draw carrying 61.5kg. With a this-season profile of (10:1-5-2), the setup points to another honest showing.

Back to 1200m where unbeaten (3:3-0-0), and perfect at the track/distance (3:3-0-0) with a strong overall record here (11:6-2-0). Fourth-up after 6th over 1400m at Istanbul 15 days ago and a prior 2nd over 1600m to Loco Sugar, the drop in trip looks suitable. Well set to reproduce proven 1200m form.
