AL SAROUT (1) brings the strongest local profile, having won his only start at the Kocaeli 1500m on 2 Jun (3Y HCP, GOOD) with 59.5kg, and he returns to this trip fourth-up with 58kg after recent 1200m and 1400m placings. WARRIOR MAN (3) is on a short turnaround (5 days) and drops 500m after a 5th over 2000m here on 16 Jul; he was 2nd here at 1400m on 26 Jun carrying 58kg and now goes around at 58kg again. HAMMERWICH (4) was a last-start Kocaeli 1900m winner on 7 Jul and draws barrier 1, though he is yet to win at 1500m (4 starts, 1 third). BLUE STAR (7) won here over 1200m on 18 Jun and steps to 1500m from barrier 2 with 58kg.

Drops 500m on a short turnaround to 1500m at Kocaeli after finishing 5th/7 over 2000m on 16 Jul; carries 58kg from barrier 4. Prior runs include 3rd/12 over 1900m here on 7 Jul behind Hammerwich and Steel Father, and 2nd/7 over 1400m here on 26 Jun to My Rebellious Girl. Proven with this rider (3:1-1-0) and a sound course record (7:1-1-1), so a consistent showing is within reach.

Comments

Comes off a Kocaeli 1900m win on 7 Jul, defeating Steel Father, and drops 400m in trip. Draws barrier 1 and has a solid inside-gates record (barriers 1-3: 9:1-0-5) alongside a tidy partnership with this jockey (5:1-0-2). The 1500m return is modest (4:0-0-1), but the rails draw and recent win suggest he can be competitive.

Back to 1500m from 1900m and an improved barrier 3, having finished 4th over this trip at Kocaeli on 23 Jun (GOOD, 55kg) with G. Özçelik aboard; that partnership sits at (2:0-1-0). Solid records at Kocaeli (7:0-2-0) and at 1500m (3:0-1-0) point to a competitive showing under this setup.

Latest run was 12th of 16 at Istanbul over 1500m on 12 Jul carrying 55kg on Good, behind Volitivo. At 1500m he’s (3:0-0-1), and from barrier 8 he owns a (4:0-0-2) record for gates 7–10. Carries 55kg again with B. Akçay booked, and his Good-track profile (12:1-1-2) gives some hope for improvement.

Resumes after 10 months and drops to 52kg, a 5kg reduction from last start, with a 200m change in trip. Previously finished 8th at Istanbul over 1300m on 3 Sep and 8th over 1200m on 24 Aug (both GOOD) carrying 57kg, behind winners Victory Lane and Vermithor. The lighter weight fresh could help her show more this time.
