Comments

Returns to Istanbul where he’s a winner and did best this prep when 4th over 2000m here on 29 May carrying 58kg. Comes off two Ankara runs and now reunites with M.kaya, with whom he has a solid (13:4-1-1) record. From barrier 7 at 58kg, a competitive showing back at this track looks within reach.

Comments

On a 5-day turnaround and rising 600m to 2000m, he returns to Istanbul after a 3rd of 8 over 1400m here on 13 Sep (TB) behind Volitivo. His sole recent win came at Istanbul over 1400m in a 3UP CLAIM on 12 Aug with H. Çi̇zi̇k aboard, and he again teams up from a handy barrier 5. Distance record at 2000m is modest (6:0-1-1), so the step up is the query.

Proven at 2000m with a strong record (3:2-1-0) and unbeaten at this track/trip (1:1-0-0), and comes back a week after a 2100m Istanbul run. Drops 2kg to 58kg and draws barrier 3, with H.karataş taking over. Solid set-up to hold a handy position and run well at the journey.

Draws barrier 1 and returns to 2000m after a narrow 2nd at Adana over this trip 19 days ago carrying 55kg. Stays around that mark at 56kg and has a solid distance profile (7:0-3-1), with three seconds from low draws per the barrier record. Well set up to hold form from the inside gate.

Comments

Draws much better today from barrier 2 after working from 13 when 6th of 13 over 1900m at Istanbul nine days ago in a 3Y HCP (52kg). Steps up slightly in trip to 2000m with 56kg and has been consistent around midfield this prep, though his Istanbul (16:0-0-1) and 2000m (3:0-0-0) records temper confidence.

Comes off a 3rd at Ankara over 1500m 10 days ago and now rises 500m, with Müṣ.çelik aboard having already placed on the horse. Drawn barrier 6, this setup looks suitable for a competitive showing.

Returns to 2000m after a 1600m run at Istanbul 16 days ago, with a slight weight drop to 56kg and a better draw in barrier 4. Yet to place from four Istanbul starts and one try at this trip, but the kinder gate could help her settle and improve.
