Proven at CurrentTrack (2:1-1) and in good heart, winning over 1800m at Kocaeli on 30 Jul (60kg) before a 2nd there on 11 Aug behind Ricardo. Carries 61kg today but draws well in barrier 3, with the rider maintaining a strong partnership (2:1-1). Consistent profile suggests he can be competitive again back to 1500m.

Proven at this track and trip with a strong (CurrentTrack, 1500) record of (2:1-1), and he’s back to 59.5kg with a 400m drop from 1900m. Recent form is sound, including 2nd over 1400m at Ankara on 4 Aug behind Dragon Blue and 4th over 1900m on 18 Aug from a wide barrier 10. Well placed back to 1500m from barrier 8 and capable of producing another competitive run.

Arrives in peak nick this season (3:2-1) and is 1:1 at today’s 1500, including a Kocaeli win two starts back over Noble Storm carrying 57kg. Draws barrier 1 and drops to 57kg after a 1400m Kocaeli win 12 days ago, with solid CurrentTrack figures (5:2-1-0). Proven on good ground and the jockey has a tidy record aboard (3:1-1-1), so he profiles as a strong chance to hold form.

Comes off a Kocaeli 1200m 3UP HCP win 19 days ago under S Özen, and they reunite from an improved barrier 2 with 57kg after carrying 56.5kg there. Prior run was a 2nd over 1700m at Kocaeli on good going, so the 300m drop back in trip looks a practical move. Proven at the track and on good ground, and profiles as a solid chance in fourth-up condition.

Drops 4kg to 52.5kg and draws barrier 4 after a 6th of 10 over 1400m at Bursa 29 days ago in a 3UP HCP from gate 8. Earlier Istanbul runs at 2000m included a pair of 4ths on Good, and he scored over 2100m at Istanbul in May. With the lighter weight and softer draw, he looks set to hold a spot and be competitive.

Comments

Proven consistent at this track (3:0-1-2) and arrives off a 52-day freshen with a notable drop to 52.5kg. Recent placings at Kocaeli over 2000m and 1400m, plus a 6th at Istanbul 1500m, suggest honest efforts across trips. Drawn barrier 7 with a solid jockey-trainer combo record (6:1-1-3), he looks a reliable each-way type.

Returned to Kocaeli and scored over 1200m on 14 Jul, reuniting with R Yildiz and F Yavaş, and now draws barrier 5 with 50kg. That win followed unplaced efforts at 1600m and 2000m, so the cutback in trip again today looks a positive setup. Proven at the track and on good going, he profiles to run well.
