Backs up on a 5‑day turnaround from Istanbul 1200m (2Y COND4) where she finished 4th of 7 behind Kartal, and now draws the inside barrier. Her August prep includes a 1300m win at Istanbul (2Y FILLIES COND) from barrier 1, and she’s (Istanbul: 7:2-1-1) with solid figures with this rider (4:1-1-0). From gate 1 and staying around this trip, she profiles to run well again.

Back on a 7‑day turnaround and draws barrier 2, with Erhan Aktuğ regaining the ride (combo 1:1-0-0). Has a 1200m record of (4:1-1-0) and scored over 1200 at Ankara when partnered by this jockey for trainer Müs lüm Dolak. The setup suits and her recent runs at 1200–1300m give her a solid platform to be competitive.

Comments

Back on a 7‑day turnaround after a 5th of 6 in a 1300m 2Y MDN at Bursa, and now drops 100m which brings him back to his winning trip (1200m record 4:1-0-0). Istanbul stats are modest but he did finish 4th of 6 in a 1200m 2Y COND here two starts back. With 60kg today and a handy barrier 6, he appeals as a capable type at this distance.

Third-up and back 100m after finishing 10th of 10 in a 2Y MDN over 1300m at Istanbul on 5 Sep (57kg), drawn the inside there. Prior run was a 5th of 7 in a 2Y COND 1 over 1200m at the same track on 23 Aug (57kg, GOOD). Draws barrier 4 today, which is a more practical gate than last time, and can be kept safe with the short turnaround.

Honest juvenile with a consistent 1200m profile (3:0-1-2), most recently 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND5 from barrier 1 behind Cose Della Vita. Returns to 1200m at this track where she’s placed before, and draws barrier 5 after a 15‑day turn; M.M.Bilgin has previously partnered her to a 2nd. Reliable place claims at the trip and venue.
