Comments

On a quick 7-day turnaround and back to 2100m where he has placed before (distance record 2:0-0-1). Recent Kocaeli runs include a 3rd over 1800m behind Racing Rapture and Tizona, and a 2nd at 2000m in 3Y CLM1 behind By Türe, suggesting he stays this trip. Drawn barrier 5 with 60kg, his consistent middle-distance efforts keep him in the mix.

Comments

Proven at the trip with a 2100m Bursa win two starts back in a 3UP HCP (59kg, FAST), and he draws barrier 4 here after jumping from 6 last time. Most recent run was 7th of 7 at Bursa over 2000m in 3UP COND, but he was third at Kocaeli over 1900m prior under 62kg. Solid distance record (2100:2-1-0-0) suggests he can bounce back with this setup.

Comments

Holding form with back-to-back 3rds at Ankara over 2100m (3UP COND, 57kg, behind John Abruzzi) and 2000m prior, and has hit the frame in both runs this season. Track (6:0-0-2) and distance (5:0-1-1) records are solid enough without a win, and he returns in 60kg today with Ahmet Çelik from barrier 8. Honest type around this trip who can be competitive again.

Comments

On a short turnaround at 5 days and draws barrier 1 after racing wide from 7 when 7th over 1400m at Ankara on 22 Aug. Prior run was sound, finishing 3rd over 1500m at Ankara in a 3UP COND, and he now stretches a significant 700m. Mixed distance profile (2100m: 3:0-0-0) tempers expectations, but the low draw could help him settle and give a competitive account.

Proven at Ankara with a solid track record (20:2-0-7) and a recent 1900m win on FAST on 2 Jul carrying 55.5kg. Comes here off a 12-day turnaround after a 4th of 5 over 1900m in a 3UP HCP, and now rises 200m with a marginally better barrier. Jockey has partnered for two thirds, and the overall profile suggests another honest showing at this trip.

Proven at Ankara with a strong track record (5:2-2-0) and unbeaten at the track-and-trip (2100) from one attempt. On a short turnaround after a 4th at Ankara over 1400m five days ago and now rises 700m, which brings him back to a distance where he’s won and twice placed around 2000m this prep. Drawn barrier 6 and carrying 58kg, he profiles as a solid chance to bounce back at this longer trip.

Proven at Ankara with a consistent profile (track record 5:0-2-1) and two recent seconds, including at 2100m where he carried 59.5kg behind World Chief. Last start he again filled the runner-up spot over 2200m in a 3UP HCP 15 and now draws barrier 2 with a slight drop back to 2100m. Honest type holding form and well drawn to give another bold sight.

Comments

Proven at Ankara with a win from two runs and draws well in barrier 3. Recent 3rd over 2100m at Bursa under 61.5kg suggests the trip is within range, and now drops to 56.5kg after a luckless 6th at Kocaeli over 1800m. With a positive barrier profile (3 starts: 1-1-1 from barriers 1-3) and the familiar rider engaged, he maps to run well.
