Prize Money: -

CALVADOS (3) maps well back to 1500m after two 2000m seconds and boasts a 4-from-5 record at this trip, including beating JAZZ RUNNER (1) here on 21 Aug; drawn 7 where he has won before. JAZZ RUNNER (1) is rock-solid at Istanbul 1500m (2:1-1) and returns to a suitable trip third run in 13 days after a 1000m G2; strong jockey record adds confidence. STATUE OF LIBERTY (2) resumes off 60 days and has a 1500m/track profile of 3:2-0-0 with barrier 1, but last start was a 7th in G2 at Bursa. GIRALAMO (6) is on a short turnaround and was 2nd to BOAZ (5)’s conqueror Tenacious Khan at 1400m before a 3rd last week; runner-up to JAZZ RUNNER (1) at this trip on 9 Aug suggests competitiveness back to 1500m.

Proven at Istanbul 1500m with a (2:1-1-0) track-distance record and strong overall track figures (15:6-3-1). Comes back up 500m after a 6th in Ankara over 1000m and reunites with A.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul and 1500m with a strong track-distance record (3:2-0-0), and draws barrier 1 where he’s excelled (5:3-1-0 from barriers 1-3). Last two city runs were solid in Group company, including 2nd in the 2100m GROUP 3 3Y before a tougher 3UP GROUP 2 at Bursa. Back to his preferred circuit and trip with H. Karataş aboard, he profiles to run well.

Prolific at 1500m with a superb (5:4-0-0) and unbeaten at the trip here, he returns to this distance after back-to-back 2nds over 2000m at Istanbul, most recently behind Mr Tt 19 days ago. Drawn barrier 7 where he owns a solid record and reunited with M A Solmaz, whose current partnership reads an excellent (12:6-4-1). Strong set-up to perform to his peak at this trip.

Comments

Second-up with a solid profile at Istanbul (9:2-3-0) and a strong 1500m record (5:0-3-0), and he draws well in barrier 4 where he’s 1:1-0-0 within his 4-6 gate stats (3:1-2-0). Last start he was 4th of 4 over 2000m here, and the drop back 500m looks a positive. With S. Kaya aboard again and a handy prep record second-up (1:0-1-0), he shapes as a genuine contender at this trip.

Proven at Istanbul with a solid track record (8:1-3-3) and a handy low draw, and he’s placed at the trip with a 2nd over 1500m here. Comes off a 3rd over 1400m nine days ago under Vedat Abi̇ş and returns to 1500m from barrier 2, which suits his barrier stats (1–3: 6:2-1-2). Genuine each-way claims in this setup.

Consistent this prep with a recent 3rd at Kocaeli over 1400m (TB) on 22 Sep, carrying 60kg from barrier 4 behind Tenacious Khan and Golden Promise. Returns to 1500m with a slight 100m rise and draws barrier 6, while the current jockey/trainer combo has a solid (6:1-2-0) record. Honest type who maps to be competitive again at this trip.
