Izmir Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: -

SANCAK TAŞIYAN (1) maps well as the one to beat after winning here over 1900m 14 days ago in 4Y HCP15 with 62kg; now 61kg and unbeaten 2/3 at the Izmir 1900. BALAŞIR (4) is the danger from barrier 1 after a 2nd to SANCAK TAŞIYAN (1) in that same race when carrying 59.5kg; drops to 55kg. ULU YAŞAR (2) draws well in barrier 2 and has two Izmir 2000m wins in May; recent form is fair and he was 5th here at 1900m in August. AYBUGA (3) has minor claims with recent AR placings at 2000m, though finished 8th behind SANCAK TAŞIYAN (1) last time at this trip. Something for the Multiples: SANCAK TAŞIYAN (1) BALAŞIR (4) ULU YAŞAR (2)

Proven at Izmir 1900m with a strong record (track-distance 3:2-0-0) and arrives 14 days after winning a 4Y HCP15 over 1900m here under 62kg. Drops to 61kg and draws barrier 5, with the same trainer-jockey combination successful last time. Solid credentials at the trip and venue point to another forward showing.

Comments

Proven at Izmir with 3 wins, including back-to-back 2000m victories in May under Ö F Özen, with whom the jockey record sits at 4:2-0-0. Since then has finished 5th at Izmir over 1900m (barrier 12) and 2000m, and today draws barrier 2 with 55kg. Reliable course performer who maps to get a softer run from the low draw.

Comments

Consistent without winning at Izmir, with 7 thirds from 24 runs at the track and two placings over 1900m. Recent form includes 3rd over 2000m (AR) on 4 Sep and 4th over 2000m on 19 Sep before an 8th over 1900m last time, and he draws barrier 3 with 56kg after carrying lighter of late. Honest type who can run into the minors if he holds that mid-prep form.

Comments

Closed off for 2nd over 1900m at Izmir two weeks ago in a 4Y HCP15, splitting Sancak Taşıyan and the rest while carrying 59.5kg. Drops 4.5kg to 55kg and draws barrier 1, with a 2:0-1-0 record at the track/distance and solid overall Izmir figures (16:2-5-2). Well placed to run another honest race from the inside draw.
