Returns to 1200m where his record reads (9:2-3-2) and has strong Izmir stats at the trip (Izmir, 1200: 4:1-2-0), with a soft draw in barrier 3. Comes off a Kocaeli 1400m 3rd in a 3UP HCP 23 days ago, and reunites with a jockey who has placed on him in both prior rides. Up to 62kg, but his track and distance profile keeps him in the mix.

Comments

Proven at Izmir 1200m with a solid record (7:1-2-1) and arrives 13 days after a 2nd over this trip on Good, chasing Japoncan. Back to barrier 2 where the inside draws have suited him historically (barriers 1-3: 13:2-2-4), and reunites with A. Meh Altin who has a handy partnership (6:1-2-1). With 60kg, his consistent 1200m and Good-ground stats suggest he can hold his form.

Comments

Proven at Izmir with a strong record (8:4-1-0) and unbeaten at the track/trip, he now drops 300m and returns to 1200m where he’s 1 from 2. Comes off a 7th of 7 over 1500m at Istanbul in 3Y COND, and carries 60kg after a 2kg rise, but draws well in barrier 4 and reunites with a jockey he’s 1-from-1 with. Solid local profile suggests he can be competitive back to this setup.

Proven at 1200m with a win among a (1200:4-1-0-1) record, and returns to this trip from barrier 5 carrying 58kg. Last start at Izmir over 1200m he finished 5th of 7 from barrier 6, and he’s back with Y. Gökçe who rode him two starts prior. Solid sprint credentials suggest he can be competitive with a cleaner run.

Strong Izmir profile at 1200m (track/distance 3:2-0-0) and drawn to advantage in barrier 1. Comes back 400m after 2nd over 1600m here 13 days ago and drops 1kg to 58kg, with a positive barrier shift from 8 to 1. Well placed back to his proven trip and should get the right run.

Chasing a four-timer after three straight Izmir wins at 1400m on Good, the latest from barrier 11 with 59kg, and now drops to 56kg. Steps back to 1200m where he was 2nd here on 21 Jun behind Vite Vite, and draws barrier 6 with a rider boasting a strong (5:3-1-0) record on him. Proven at track and conditions and profiles to hold form back to this trip.
