Comments

Proven at 1500m with a strong record (4:3-0-0) and returns to that trip after a 2000m Ankara run 32 days ago when 3rd from barrier 9 behind Mandrake and Bayir Efe. Won over 1500m at Ankara on 30 Jun (3UP HCP) with 56kg, beating Reflected Glory. The Solmaz partnership is a positive (jockey record 10:5-3-1), and the slight barrier improvement to 8 should aid another forward showing.

Comments

Back on a short turnaround after winning a 1400m 3UP CLAIM at Istanbul seven days ago from barrier 4 under H Çizik, who stays aboard. Draws barrier 1 and rises 100m to 1500m, a trip where he’s yet to win (5:0-1-0) but his recent form at shorter looks a positive lead. Solid inside draw and current jockey rapport suggest he can hold a handy spot and give a sight.

Last start 2nd at Kocaeli over 1400m and now steps back to a preferred trip, drawn barrier 4 with A. Sözen back aboard. Solid setup to run well at this distance and track.

Fresh off a 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m in 3UP COND (54.5kg) from barrier 6 two weeks ago, he now stretches 300m which suits given his 1400m win here in May from gate 16. Track record at Istanbul reads well (4:1-1-1), and the current rider has already partnered him into a placing. Solid chance to hold form back up to a more suitable trip.

Solid Istanbul profile (5:1-0-1) and returns from a 52-day break with a better draw, moving from barrier 16 last time to 7 today. Recent efforts include 3rd of 6 over 1600m here on 5 Jun behind Dire Wolf and a close 4th of 6 at 1500m prior. Maps to get a cleaner run from the gate and can be competitive at this trip.

Returns to 1500m with a sharp distance drop from recent 2100–2400m runs, and draws well in barrier 3 where the record from low gates reads (2:1-0-1). Has solid Istanbul credentials (14:4-2-4) and is consistent at this track/trip (3:0-1-2), with G. Kocakaya aboard again (4:1-0-2). Proven at this venue and well drawn to run to her honest profile.
