Runner-up in both Ankara starts, including 2nd over 1400m on 18 Aug (GOOD) and 2nd over 1200m on 28 Jul (GOOD), each carrying 57kg. Drops back 200m and draws barrier 4 again, aligning with his proven 1200m/Ankara profile. Solid chance to hold form third-up.

Debuted at Ankara over 1200m (TB) and finished 2nd of 7 from barrier 8, splitting zero margin with winner Saratoga Springs while carrying 57kg. Returns second-up after 14 days and stays at the same track/trip where he has a (1:0-1-0) record. Solid platform to build on in similar conditions.

Comments

Third-up and back 200m after a narrow 2nd at Ankara over 1400m on 18 Aug, splitting Frequestist and this runner in an 8-horse field. Prior Ankara run at 1200m from barrier 6 returned 6th of 8 on GOOD going, so the drop in trip asks a question but he’s holding form with the same rider engaged. Measured chance from barrier 6 given the recent improvement.

Third-up and back to 1200m after finishing 6th of 6 over 1400m at Ankara (GOOD) on 18 Aug, having been 5th of 8 over this trip on 28 Jul. Draws barrier 7 after a slight improvement from last start’s gate and sticks with the S Polat yard, with M.a.akgöbek taking over. Needs to find progression at this trip to figure.

Debuted 24 days ago at Ankara over 1400m (TB), finishing 3rd of 8 from barrier 5 with 57kg on GOOD going behind Hegemonya and Giant Wave. Second-up today from barrier 2 with a 200m drop in trip, which could suit given that solid first run. Well drawn and early signs suggest he can be competitive again.

First-up after 115 days, this 2YO returns off a single Ankara run over 1100m on soft where they were unplaced in a 6-runner field. Steps to 1200m from barrier 9 with R.kurt aboard; a measured lift will be needed second time out.

Second-up after an Istanbul 1200m 2Y COND 1 debut 23 days ago, drawn to advantage from barrier 1. Debut run was 7th of 8 from barrier 2 on GOOD going at 57kg, and he now gets a softer map from the inside. With that experience and an improved gate, he can take a step forward.

Second-up after debuting at Ankara over 1200m a fortnight ago, finishing 7th of 7 from barrier 7. Maps better from barrier 5 here and remains at the same trip, which gives scope to improve with the run under the belt.
