Comments

Proven at 1400m (45:10-8-7) and draws well in barrier 2, returning to this trip after a solid 3rd over 1200m at Kocaeli 10 days ago. Track-and-trip record here is (11:1-2-2), and he carries 58.5kg with Ha.gökçe aboard after placing with the rider this season. Genuine chance to be in the finish if he holds that recent consistency.

Comments

Comes off a win at Izmir over 1200m (4UP COND) eight days ago under K Yilmaz and now draws barrier 1 with a 3.5kg rise to 59.5kg. Prior run was a 2nd over 1400m at this track in the same class, and he’s (38:6-5-6) at Izmir with strong low-barrier stats (1–3: 18:5-3-3). Short turnaround and favourable gate suggest he can hold form over 1400m despite the weight.

Comments

Proven at Izmir with a strong CurrentTrack record (21:9-3-2) and solid at 1400m (12:3-4-0), he now drops 600m after back-to-back wins over 1900m and 2000m. Drawn barrier 4 again and down to 58.5kg, his lone Izmir 1400 run this prep was a 4th, but overall track-distance returns (6:1-3-0) are reliable. With R.ketme 1/1 aboard historically, he profiles as a leading chance back to this trip.

Comments

Back to 1400m after a 2000m run here 29 days ago, and drops 3kg to 59.5kg with a better draw (barrier 6 from 10). Izmir record is extensive (41:2-4-3) and the 1400m stats are similar (24:2-4-2), while the current jockey has a solid partnership (5:1-1-1). Maps as a seasoned local who can be competitive back in trip.

Comments

Proven at Izmir 1400m with a solid (21:4-3-4) track-distance record and comes off a 3rd over this trip 14 days ago after working from barrier 14. Season form is consistent (2:0-1-1), and he reunites with A. Meh Altin, with whom he scored over 1400m here earlier in the year carrying 57.5kg. Genuine chance to hold form from a more favourable barrier 7 under 57.5kg.
