Comments

Third-up and back 100m to 1200m after a pair of 5th-place finishes at Istanbul, most recently in a 2Y MDN over 1300m from barrier 5 carrying 57kg. Also ran 5th in a 2Y COND 1 over 1200m on GOOD, and draws barrier 5 again with 57kg. Genuine enough efforts so far and the drop in trip could help him hold a spot and finish closer.

Third-up and back 300m to 1200m, he draws barrier 4 after a midfield 6th over 1500m at Istanbul last time in a 2Y MDN with 57kg. His debut 4th of 7 over this trip at the same track reads okay, and the inside draw can help him hold a handy spot. Genuine chance to improve with the setup.

Comments

Second-up after 30 days and draws barrier 3 again, he looks to build on his two Istanbul runs this prep. Last start he finished 9th of 11 over 1400m at Istanbul (57kg) behind Shade Of Amidala, and now drops 200m which could help. With A.kaçmaz taking over, a cleaner run in transit can see improvement.

Second-up after a debut at Istanbul over 1300m (TB) 12 days ago, finishing 6th of 7 from barrier 1 under 57kg behind Warriors. Drops back 100m and draws barrier 2, sticking with M. Kaya and the same weight. With that experience and a minor gate shift, a cleaner beginning could see improvement.

Debuted 26 days ago at Istanbul over 1200m in 2Y COND 1, finishing 2nd to Kartal with 57kg from barrier 7. Sticks to the same track and trip second-up, draws slightly better in 6, and reunites with Gökhan Kocakaya who was aboard on debut. Solid base to build from and entitled to improvement.

Third-up and on a 13-day turnaround after finishing 8th of 10 in a 2Y MDN over 1300m at Istanbul when drawn wide in barrier 10. Drops back 100m and draws barrier 9, with G. Özçelik taking over from Vedat Abi̇ş; prior run was 6th of 7 at Kocaeli over 1200m. Needs to lift but the slight gate improvement and distance drop could help.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Diyarbakir over 1200m from barrier 8, holding a placing in a 12-runner field behind Valentine Girl and Angel Of Donya. Drawn barrier 8 again and sticks to the trip; looks a genuine chance to build on that solid introduction.

Twice runner-up at Istanbul, including over 1200m in a 2YF MDN on 5 Aug, and again last time when 2nd in a 2Y MDN over 1300m on 2 Sep with Ayhan Kurşun aboard. Drops 100m and rises to 57kg from 55kg, but retains a jockey-trainer combo that has produced a 2nd from one ride. Consistent at the track and looks suited to another honest showing.

Second-up from a debut 5th of 8 over 1300m at Istanbul in a 2Y FILLIES COND, carrying 57kg from barrier 4 on Good. Drops 2kg to 55kg, draws the inside, and comes back 100m after 28 days, which could help her settle closer. Well placed to take a step forward from the favourable gate.
