Comments

Outstanding Ankara and 1600m profile with records of (26:9-7-3) at the track and (12:5-4-0) at the trip, including a (Ankara, 1600) mark of (9:5-3-0). Comes off back-to-back 2nds here at 1400m and 1900m carrying 60kg, and reunites with R Kurt who won on him over this course and distance three starts back with 59kg. Back to 1600m from a handy barrier 4 looks a positive setup.

Comments

Comes off a 1400m Ankara win 12 days ago in 3UP OPEN with 58kg under E Çankaya, and draws barrier 1 today. Has placed at this track and trip before and owns a solid CurrentTrack record (12:3-3-3), so the step to 1600m looks within range. Nicely set up from the inside draw with a familiar rider.

Comments

Proven at Ankara (23:6-6-4) and back to 1600m after a 1900m 3UP COND where she finished 4th of 6 on Oct 10, now drawn better in barrier 3. Strong recent 1900m form includes a 3UP CLM win on Sep 22 and a 2nd in 3UP F&M COND 6 on Sep 12, both on GOOD. Solid local profile and a soft draw give her a consistent look.

Comments

Brings solid recent form with two wins from his last four starts, including a 1200m 3Y COND4 at Ankara on 26 Sep, and he’s drawn well in barrier 2. Steps up 400m to 1600m, but his 2-from-3 record with E Atlamaz and a strong low-draw record (barriers 1-3: 17:5-2-2) bolster confidence. On a 13-day turnaround and back under 56.5kg, he looks set to give another honest account.
