Unraced 2YO for N.esen with V.abiş booked and barrier 8. By Kuzey Kafkasyali out of Kontesim, this debut setup reads straightforward; keep safe on profile.

Comments

Fourth-up and back to 1200m after two 1400m runs, returning from a 14-day turnaround. Last start at Ankara on 1 Oct over 1200m (TB), he finished 7th of 9 from barrier 7 on soft going under 53kg, with Pasadena winning. Needs to lift on exposed Ankara record (3:0-0-0) but the drop in trip could help.

Third-up and back to Ankara after a 7th over 1400m in a 2Y MDN FILLIES on 27 Aug, now drops 300m which could suit given earlier runs were at 1200m. Draws barrier 5 after coming from 8 last time, with 57kg retained; recent form is yet to feature but the softer draw and trip tweak offer a chance to improve.
