Comments

Drops back 200m after a 4th of 8 over 1400m at Istanbul (3Y COND, 57kg) nine days ago, and returns to a trip where he’s a winner and 1-from-3 overall at 1200m. Current track has yielded just 1 placing from 5, though his barrier 6 record is solid (4 runs:1-0-1). Honest claims back in distance with M.S.Çelik up from gate 6 at 57kg.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul 1200m with a win and strong track-distance stats (Istanbul, 1200: 2:1-0-0), and draws well in barrier 2. Comes back 200m on a short turnaround (9 days) after a closing 3rd over 1400m in 3Y COND, and reunites with A.kurşun who rode for a placing last time. Solid each-way hopes back to a trip that suits at 55kg.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul 1200 with a win four starts ago and a 3rd at 1400 since, and he reunites with Vedat Abi̇ş who has a 1-0-1 record on him. Drops 2kg to 55kg and draws barrier 5 after wider gates in his last two. That setup looks suitable for a rebound after a below-par Bursa run 25 days ago.

Comments

Comes off a Kocaeli 1400m win eight days ago (57kg) and now drops 2kg to 55kg on a short turnaround, with the barrier improving from 5 to 3. Also won over 1200m at Adana two starts back and is 2-from-3 on Good going, so this set-up looks suitable.

Comments

Fourth-up and draws barrier 1, returning to 54.5kg after carrying 57kg when 6th of 7 over 1200m at Ankara 10 days ago. Won at Istanbul over 1200m two starts back on Good going and is 1-from-1 at the track and at the Istanbul 1200. The inside draw and lighter weight give him a suitable set-up to bounce back.

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround, comes back 200m after a 3rd of 7 at Istanbul over 1400m on 31 Jul (51kg) behind Arabian and Bir Eda. Proven at 1200m with a win at Ankara on 30 May (Good) and a prior 3rd at this track/trip, and draws barrier 4 where she’s twice placed. With 52kg and a prior placing for this rider, she profiles as a consistent chance at the trip.
