Returns to 1200m where he’s unbeaten (1:1-0-0) and perfect at the Izmir 1200 (1:1-0-0), now third-up with a strong overall Izmir record (2:1-1-0). Last start at Izmir on 8 Aug over 1400m in 2Y COND 5 he was 2nd of 5 from barrier 4 under 55kg, splitting the quinella with Emperor; today he draws 5 and rises to 57kg. Proven with this jockey-trainer combo (2:1-1-0) and on good ground (2:1-1-0), so the set-up looks suitable back in trip.

Proven at Izmir with a (3:1-2-0) track record and two runner-up efforts at 1200m, including behind Anka Erçelik on 9 Aug carrying 60kg. Drops back 200m and returns to 57kg from barrier 3 after a 4th at Istanbul over 1400m 14 days ago. Honest juvenile who maps to get a soft run and hold his form at this trip.

Comments

Proven at Izmir with a (3:1-1-0) track record and fourth-up today from barrier 2. Won over 1000m on Good before a 2nd over 1200m behind Lungta, then finished 4th of 5 over 1200m; now back to 55kg after carrying 57kg in those two runs. Solid local profile and a favourable draw give him a competitive setup.

Debut winner at Izmir over 1200m on Good going, leading throughout from barrier 1 under 57kg and beating Barbar Barlo; now second-up with 55kg and barrier 4. Unbeaten at track and trip (1:1-0-0) and reunites with the same jockey-trainer combination that delivered first-up. Well placed to build on that promising start.

Debutant 2YO from Sey.demi̇r by Here To Fly out of Ancient Dream, drawn barrier 1 and set to carry 53kg with N.avci̇ booked. Low weight and the inside draw should give a soft run in transit on debut.
