Comments

Consistent juvenile with this season’s (4:0-1-2) profile and placed in both Istanbul runs, including 3rd over 1200m in 2Y COND4 nine days ago behind Kartal and Atomic Age. Returns to 1200m with a notable 5kg rise to 60kg and an 8-barrier wider than last start, but has a solid distance record (2:0-1-1). Competitive on recent evidence, though the new weight asks for a touch more.

Second-up after a 68-day break, drops to 55kg and draws barrier 6 after debuting from 8. Finished 7th of 7 over 1200m at Istanbul on 12 Jul (GOOD) carrying 57kg, with The Last Dragon winning. The softer draw and lighter weight offer scope to improve at the same trip.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, racing on-speed from barrier 5 at 57kg. Stays at 57kg and draws better in barrier 4, with prior track/distance placing (track/distance: 1:0-0-1) a plus. Solid platform to progress.

Debutant 2YO for N.esen with H.karataş booked and 57kg from barrier 10. Pedigree by Kuzey Kafkasyali out of Kontesim suggests early speed influences. Market and parade will guide, but the set-up looks straightforward for a first look.

Third-up and drops to 53kg with a 300m cutback after finishing 6th of 8 over 1500m at Kocaeli on 1 Sep (TB, GOOD), drawn better today after barrier 4 last time. Debut run at Istanbul over 1300m (2Y COND, GOOD) saw him 8th of 11 from a wide gate. The lighter weight and slight barrier improvement give him a more suitable setup to progress.

Two-year-old by Zelzal out of Restless debuts for H.boyraz from barrier 8 with A.yildiz booked at 57kg. Profile suggests speed on pedigree, and the draw offers options. Market and parade will guide, but the setup is straightforward for a first outing.

Debuted 17 days ago at Ankara over 1200m (TB) and finished 3rd of 7 from barrier 3, carrying 57kg; now second-up. Draws the inside gate and stays at 57kg, with the same trainer engaged. Well set up to build on that first-up placing from barrier 1.

Draws barrier 2 and comes back 200m after a 4th of 11 at Adana over 1400m (TB) 12 days ago with 57kg. Prior run was a 2nd in an 8-runner 2Y MDN FILLIES at Ankara over 1400m behind Lady Şampira. Maps to get a soft run from the gate and can be competitive at this trip.

Second-up after a 16-day turnaround, improved to 5th of 11 at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y MDN from barrier 8 (55kg), with Asil Kraliçe winning. Drops back 100m and draws barrier 5, an inside lift from last time, with the same rider booked. That recent run suggests further improvement is possible in this setup.

Promising debut when 3rd of 11 over 1200m at Izmir two weeks ago, beaten narrowly behind Chillax and Lady Rivelya after working from barrier 10 with 57kg. Drops 2kg to 55kg and draws barrier 3 second up, a setup that can help him build on that solid first run.
