Race 6

Prize Money: -

MELONCITTO (3) sets the standard after winning over 1400m at Kocaeli on 6 Aug from barrier 1 and draws the rail again; unbeaten this prep per the supplied stats. ARASINKO (4) is the danger with two Kocaeli wins in July and a last-start 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m. RED VICTORY (6) brings recent Kocaeli form, winning a 1500m TB on 1 Sep carrying 61kg and now drops to 57kg from barrier 2. STEEL WINGS (7) was 2nd to RED VICTORY (6) over 1500m here on 1 Sep and meets slightly better at the weights today.

Comments

Early prep featured a 2nd in a 2Y GROUP 3 over 1200m at Istanbul (5/7) and a 3rd in a 2Y COND at Bursa over 1100m carrying 60kg. Comes here nine days after finishing 8th of 9 over 1400m at Istanbul from barrier 10, but draws better in 7 and drops 3kg to 60kg with S. Özen back aboard. Mixed recent efforts, yet the improved barrier and rider reunion offer some hope of a rebound.

Comments

Consistent juvenile with four seconds from six runs on good going, including runner-up efforts at Istanbul 1200m and Bursa 1300m. Returns from 22 days off, rises 2kg to 59kg and drops 300m after a 1400m second at Kocaeli, while drawing barrier 8. Solid profile at the track and with this rider, and should be competitive again.

Two wins from the last three starts, including a 1400m success at Kocaeli from barrier 1 with G. Özçelik up, and unbeaten this season (1:1-0-0). Steps up 100m and rises 1kg to 58kg, but draws barrier 1 again and has solid records at the track and on good ground. Well set up to hold form.

Comments

Proven at the track with a solid record (CurrentTrack: 3:2-0-0) and resumes 20 days after a close 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m on Good, chasing Egoista and Whitewalkers carrying 55kg. Steps up 200m and rises 2kg to 57kg, but has won twice at Kocaeli including a 1400m success, and the jockey partnership reads well (CurrentJockey: 2:1-0-1). Well set up from barrier 4 to hold a prominent spot and give a bold sight.

Comments

Three wins from five at this track, including 1000–1100m successes carrying 56–57kg, mark a solid local profile. Latest two runs were 4th of 5 at Bursa (1300m) then 5th of 7 at Kocaeli (1400m) with B. Akçay, and he draws barrier 5 with a slight step back 100m today. With proven Kocaeli form and a suitable alley, he can show more back here.

Progressive 2YO with a Kocaeli 1500m TB win two weeks ago from barrier 3, now draws 2 and drops from 61kg to 57kg. Prior Kocaeli 1400m run was a close 2nd in 2Y MDN behind Fortissimo, backing up solid course form (2:1-1). With the short turnaround and a favourable gate, he maps to run well again at this track and trip.

Ultra-consistent with four straight placings, including 2nd at Kocaeli over 1500m on 1 Sep in TB class, splitting Red Victory and the rest. Drops from 59kg to 54kg and draws barrier 3, with a prior 2nd at this track/trip on Good. Honest profile suggests he’s right around the mark again.

Comments

On a short turnaround third-up after Kocaeli 1400m TB seven days ago, and now drops 4kg to 53kg with a slight barrier improvement to 6. Earlier this prep was 6th of 12 in a 2YF MDN over 1200m at Kocaeli, and today steps up 100m from that run. Winless from four runs on Good and three at this track, but the lighter weight offers some upside.
