Comments

Back on a short turnaround after finishing 10th of 13 over 2100m at Istanbul last week, and now drops 200m while drawing an inside barrier 2. Two starts ago he boxed on for 4th/10 in a 2200m 4UP HCP here with 57.5kg, and he again carries a handy weight relative to that run. The soft gate could help him settle closer, giving him a chance to improve on recent efforts at this track and trip.

Comments

Proven at 1900m with a strong (5:0-4-0) distance record and solid (CurrentTrack, 1900) stats (3:0-2-0), he was runner-up at Ankara over 1900m on 27 Aug in 4UP carrying 60kg. Consistent this season (5:0-1-1) and drawn well in barrier 4, his profile suggests he’ll be competitive again at this trip.

Comments

Draws barrier 3 again and returns to 1900m at Istanbul, where his track/distance record sits at (11:1-3-1). Latest run was a solid 4th of 9 over this trip in AR class with 60kg under Ayhan Kurşun, improving from two unplaced efforts. Consistent at the venue overall (Istanbul 30:4-9-3) and well drawn to hold a handy spot.

Comments

Comes off a Bursa 2000m AR win 17 days ago under Gökhan Kocakaya, who stays aboard, and draws favourably in barrier 1. Prior to that he ran 2nd at Istanbul over 1600m, and he owns a solid local record (Istanbul 15:1-4-3) with a placing at the track and trip. In form this season (3:1-1-0) and well set up to hold his level around 1900m.

Proven at the trip with a strong 1900m record (2:1-1-0) and consistent recent form, placing 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m before back‑to‑back 3rds at 1500m and 2100m. Returns to 1900m off a 16‑day break and draws barrier 8, with solid Istanbul figures (14:2-2-5) and a favourable wider‑gate profile (barriers 7‑10: 18:6-2-3). Genuine chance to hold form at this distance.

Backing up on a 7‑day turnaround after a narrow 2nd over 1500m at Bursa in AR grade, and now stretches 400m. Has a (Istanbul, 1900) record of (3:0-0-1) and drew well in barrier 5, with the rider having finished 2nd from one prior sit; holds each-way claims if he runs to that recent form.

Comes off a win at Istanbul over 2100m in a 4UP COND, scoring from barrier 6 with H. Çi̇zi̇k up on 57.5kg, and returns on a short 5‑day turnaround dropping 200m. Prior run was a solid 3rd over 2000m at the same track in this class. Proven at Istanbul (26:4-2-4) and effective from middle draws, so holds sound claims if backing up.

Second up with a strong Istanbul record (12:3-2-2) and reunites with M. Kaya, who has ridden 2 wins and 2 seconds from 8 rides for this yard. Last start he drew wide and finished 9th of 9 over 1400m at Istanbul, and today he draws barrier 7 with a notable 500m rise in trip. Proven at Istanbul and better drawn, he can improve sharply here.
