Comments

Comes off a 1500m win at Adana on 11 Oct (TB) from barrier 6, now tackles a significant rise to 2200m where he owns a respectable (13:2-1-2) record at Ankara. Draws barrier 5 and carries 61kg, having mixed results here recently including 6th at 2200m on 15 Sep behind Queimada Grande. Proven at track and trip but the step up in distance off the fresh win and the weight make this a measured test.

Comments

Back on a short turnaround after a 4th of 8 at Ankara over 1900m (3UP COND, 59kg, soft) where he kept on behind Oğlum Galibey. He returns to Ankara and stretches to 2200m, a trip at which he’s placed (3:0-1-1), carrying 60kg from barrier 6. Solid local record at the track (15:3-3-2) suggests he can be competitive again.

Comments

Returns to Ankara off a 1900m run three weeks ago and now steps up 300m to 2200m from barrier 3 with 59.5kg. Has a solid Ankara record (14:1-4-1) and was a 1900m winner two starts prior at Istanbul, while the current jockey has ridden him to a win from three rides. Honest type at this trip and track who can be competitive with a smooth run in transit.

Comments

Comes here 13 days after winning at Adana over 2100m, beating Lamazi Gogo, and returns to Ankara where the track record reads a solid (17:3-3-4). Proven at the trip without winning (2200m: 5:0-1-1) and draws barrier 4, which sits within a favourable gate range for it (4-6: 9:2-2-1). With a consistent prep and a workable 55kg, it profiles as a genuine contender at this course and distance.

Comments

On a short turnaround after finishing 8th of 13 over 1300m at Ankara on 24 Oct (SOFT) and now stretches 900m to 2200m. Drops sharply to 52kg from 60kg and draws barrier 7 after a wide gate last time; has a prior 2200m run here in October when 7th of 9. Ankara record (8:1-0-2) and a recent 3rd over 1400m on 8 Oct suggest she can be competitive if the rise in trip suits.
