PERHAPS (2) rates on top after winning two of three this prep at Bursa, latest 1st over 1200m (2Y Fillies Cond) on 3 Aug carrying 54kg; draws barrier 4.

WOLF WOMEN (5) has the right local profile with a 1st then 2nd over 1200m at Bursa this prep, runner-up to PERHAPS (2) last start from barrier 3 and now draws 2. BRAVE ATHENA (1) maps well from barrier 1 and brings strong Kocaeli form, winning twice at 1100-1200m before a 2nd over 1200m on 30 Jul with 59kg; fourth-up suits.

Comments

Arrives fourth-up with a strong partnership: S. Özen and N. Bakir combine for 3 runs (2 wins, 1 second). Won back-to-back at Kocaeli over 1100m (2Y COND, 55kg) and 1200m (59kg) before a narrow 2nd from barrier 1 over 1200m, and again starts from the rail. Proven at the track and distance, and the inside draw should see a similar positive run.

Comments

Comes here fourth-up with two straight 1200m Bursa wins, most recently taking a 2Y Fillies Cond from barrier 2, and now draws barrier 4 with a 100m rise in trip. Earlier in the prep she was 4th in a 2YF COND won by Wolf Women, before beating Has Gamzem in a 2Y MDN. Solid local record at Bursa (3:2-0-0) suggests she can hold form at this stage of the prep.

Comments

Unbeaten 2-from-2 at Bursa, including a 1200m 2Y FILLIES COND win 12 days ago from barrier 2 with Nevzat Avci aboard. Steps up 100m and draws barrier 3, with a perfect current-season and jockey combination record adding confidence. Proven locally and holding form, she profiles to run well again.

Comments

Early winner over 1000m at Bursa before a 2nd of 4 there on 25 Jun (2Y, 1200m, 55kg), then two 4ths including latest in a 2Y FILLIES COND over 1200m at Bursa. Steps up 100m to 1300m with 57kg from barrier 5 and reunites with Mah.turan; honest Bursa record (7:1-1-1) suggests she can be competitive again.

Comments

Third-up and drawn barrier 2, she returns to Bursa where she’s (2:1-1-0). Won a 1200m 2YF COND here two back carrying 57kg, then ran 2nd in a 1200m 2Y FILLIES COND 26 days ago under 55kg behind Perhaps. Small 100m rise looks manageable and her track and jockey stats read well for another forward showing.
