Izmir Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: -

CHEROKEE (3) appeals off his Izmir 1200m win on 12 Jul carrying 61.5kg, and he stays at the trip with a favourable barrier. JAPONCAN (5) rates a danger after a 2nd at Izmir 1200m on 18 Jul with 52kg and now up to 56.5kg but drawn well. ÇEPNI (1) drops 700m on a short turnaround; he beat CHEROKEE over 1900m here on 27 Jun and draws barrier 1. EL QUIMICO (4) has fresh 1400m Bursa form last time and owns a Kocaeli 1200m win in June, so the cut back suits.

Comments

On a short turnaround and dropping 700m back to 1200m, he draws barrier 1 and carries 58.5kg. He’s 0-from-2 at the trip but did place once, and he’s 1-from-1 with today’s rider on the track-distance last month before recent 1900–2000m efforts. Inside draw and proven Izmir profile give him a workable setup.

Drops 400m after a close 4th over 1600m at Izmir 21 days ago, and draws better in barrier 3 with 59.5kg (+2.5kg). Won two back at Bursa over 1300m (3Y COND), and is 1-from-5 at 1200m. Sound recent profile at Izmir suggests he can be competitive back to the sprint trip.

Comes off a last-start Izmir 1200m win (Good) carrying 61.5kg from barrier 4, defeating Star Of Niğde, and now drops to 59.5kg from gate 5. Strong local profile with Izmir (22:4-3-5) and at the trip (1200:7:1-2-1), and the current jockey-trainer combo has a solid (4:1-1-1) record. Proven at the track and distance, he looks well set to run boldly again.

Proven at sprint trips with a 1200m win at Kocaeli on 18 Jun and a solid 3:1-0-1 distance record. Followed up with a Bursa breakthrough over 1400m on 20 Jul (58.5kg), and now drops 200m with 59.5kg from barrier 6. The current rider has a strong 2:1-1 record aboard, and his barrier stats (3:0-2-1 from 4-6) suggest he can land a spot and be competitive.

Consistent at Izmir (6:1-4-0) and effective at 1200m (2:1-1-0), he was runner-up over this trip here on 18 Jul with Ö F Özen aboard. The rider has partnered for three seconds from three rides, and they reunite from barrier 4 with 56.5kg after carrying 52kg last time. Solid claims to be around the finish again.

Comments

Back markedly in trip today after stretching to 2000m last start at Izmir (9th of 9), and his 1200m record (5:1-1-1) suggests the drop suits. Has placed at the track and at the track/distance, and gets a 3.5kg relief to 55.5kg with a slight barrier improvement to 7. With the new rider aboard, this setup looks more comfortable and can see him competitive.

Returns to 1200m from 1900m after a month off, and his only try at this trip here yielded a 3rd of 11 on 12 Jul (GOOD) behind Cherokee and Star Of Niğde. Draws barrier 2 and carries 55kg, with solid Izmir stats (6:1-1-2) and a handy record from low gates (8:2-2-0 from barriers 1-3). Well placed back in trip to be competitive.
