Comments

Proven at Ankara with a strong record (3:1-2-0) and draws the rails after a close 2nd over 1900m here 14 days ago. Returns to G. Kocakaya, who has a 2:1-1-0 partnership with him, and maps to get an economical run from barrier 1. Consistent this season and looks well set to run boldly again at 57.5kg if holding that 1900m form.

Comments

Third-up and on a short 5-day turnaround, he was 5th of 5 over 1500m at Ankara on 27 Aug in a 3Y, carrying 54kg from barrier 4 behind Metal Heart. Returns to a venue he handles well (Ankara 9:3-2-1) and draws barrier 7, which aligns with a positive barrier record from 7-10 (5:2-1-1). This profile suggests he can improve back at a track where he’s effective.

On a 7‑day turnaround and back up to 1600m after finishing 5th of 5 in a 3Y COND at Ankara from barrier 5. Prior Istanbul form includes a 1500m win (GOOD) before a 2000m 4th of 8, suggesting some versatility at trips. Drawn barrier 6 with 58kg and returns to a track where he has placed once from five starts; a steady showing is within reach.

Returns to 1900m where her record is solid (4:1-1-0) and she’s 1:1-0 at the Ankara 1900 track-distance, with a recent 2nd in a 3Y CLAIM 3 here on 20 Aug. On a short turnaround (7 days) after a 1400m run and drawn better in barrier 4, this setup looks more suitable. Appeals as a competitive chance back to her preferred trip.
