Comments

Group 3-placed at Istanbul over 1200m on 5 Jul, finishing 2nd to Belleza, is the standout piece of form. Since then he’s mixed results, including 8th of 9 at Istanbul over 1400m from barrier 10, but draws better in 7 here and comes back 100m after 17 days. Capable of improving back to this trip at Istanbul given his early-career peak.

Proven at Istanbul with a strong (4:3-0-0) track record and an excellent rapport with S Boyraz (4:3-0-0). Won three straight here over 1000–1200m before a 6th over 1400m 26 days ago, and now draws barrier 4 after barrier 3 last time. Back to a favourable setup at this venue suggests he can rebound.

Comes here 16 days after a 4th of 7 at Istanbul over 1400m (2Y COND) from barrier 1 with 57kg, behind Rattlesnake and Whitewalkers. Earlier won at Adana over 1300m on GOOD with 59kg, and has a 2nd at 1400m at Bursa in this prep, so the trip suits. Draws barrier 5 today and profiles as a genuine chance to hold form.

Proven at Izmir with two wins from earlier in the prep and two recent 3rds, including over 1400m here on 22 Aug (TB) after winning twice at 1000-1200m. Draws barrier 1 again, carries 57kg, and reunites with M. Kaya, who has ridden for two 3rds this season. Honest profile with a handy gate and suitable setup to be competitive.

Comments

Unbeaten this season (3:3-0-0) and perfect at Istanbul over 1400m (2:2-0-0), he returns 16 days after a 2Y COND win at Istanbul over 1400m carrying 58kg, defeating Whitewalkers. The Çelik/Dolak pairing is 1:1-0-0 and the jockey’s broader record with him is outstanding (6:5-1-0), with a handy draw in barrier 3. Holds strong claims to continue the streak under 60kg.

Comments

On a short turnaround and back to barrier 2 after drawing 1 last week, this 2YO has early Istanbul 1200m placings on the page, including a 2nd on 2 Aug (Good, 57kg). Subsequent 1400m runs at Istanbul on 6 Sep and 25 Sep were 9th of 9 and 8th of 9, so the step back to a low draw and familiar surroundings needs to spark a turnaround.

Ultra-consistent at Istanbul with a (6:1-4-1) track record and runner-up finishes at 1300m and 1400m this prep, including 2nd in a 2Y COND over 1400m here 16 days ago. Holds a (2:0-1-1) record at the track and trip and again teams with Vedat Abi̇ş, who has partnered for (6:1-4-1). Honest profile suggests he’s right around the mark again from barrier 6 under 57kg.
