Izmir Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: -

ŞAHINBATUR (6) rates on top with solid Izmir mile credentials and recent 1st then 4th at 1600m, and draws the inside with 57kg. KAFKAS YÜREKLI (2) is the danger, in consistent touch and a last-start 2nd at this trip here, holding strong course-and-distance figures. İLKEJDER (1) can figure after a 1200m win and prior 1600m Izmir 3rd, though rises to 60kg from a wide barrier. DOSTBAŞAR (3) is progressive off two wins from his last three and a workable gate, but must stretch that form to 1600m; narrow lean to ŞAHINBATUR (6). Something for the Multiples: İLKEJDER (1) KAFKAS YÜREKLI (2) ALTIN ESMER (4) ŞAHINBATUR (6)

Comments

Placed in 2 of last 3, including a win at Izmir over 1200m on 31 Oct on GOOD. Earlier, ran 3rd of 7 over this track and trip on 26 Sep, so the mile holds no fears. With H. Şimşek up and consistent Izmir form, İlkejder brings a solid platform for this 1600m.

Comments

Proven at Izmir over 1600m with a solid (3:1-1-0) track-and-trip record. Last time here on 29 Oct he handled SOFT ground for 2nd of 11, and earlier was 4th of 10 at this trip on GOOD. With Mer. Çelik booked and a small field of eight, Kafkas Yürekli brings reliable local credentials. Competitive on exposed form at this track and distance.

Won 2 of last 3, suggesting the prep is tracking well. Latest run was 6th of 14 over 1300m at Bursa on 23 Oct, and now stretches to 1600m at Izmir on GOOD ground. With M. Çiçek up for A. Öcal, the profile reads progressive enough to be competitive here.

Closed into 3rd of 9 over 1200m at Izmir on 31 Oct on GOOD, and now stretches to 1600m. K. Yilmaz sticks, and a small field of 8 could suit. Altın Esmer has shown enough to be competitive again at this track.

Carries 54kg after dropping from 57.5kg, which should help at 1600m. Last seen at Izmir over this trip on 29 Oct on soft ground when 11th of 11, but had finished 5th of 7 here at 1600m on good going on 26 Sep. With the weight relief and a return to good ground, Adısoylu can be more competitive.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and already a 1600m Izmir winner on GOOD on 10 Oct. Last time was 4th of 11 over this course and trip on SOFT, and now draws the inside after a wide gate. The improved barrier and proven track-and-trip form make Şahinbatur a competitive chance.

Comments

Draws much better moving from barrier 6 to 2 and drops from 55kg to 53kg. Recent 1600m runs at Izmir read 7th of 9 on GOOD (16 Aug) and 10th of 11 on SOFT (29 Oct), so the set-up looks more favourable here. With the lighter weight and inside draw, Yazırbeyi gets conditions that could help improve on those efforts.

Third up and returns to the Izmir mile after finishing 6th of 11 here on 29 Oct on soft ground. Draws better from barrier 3 after barrier 8 last time and drops from 57.5kg to 54kg. With a friendlier map and lighter weight, Aydinç gets a more suitable set-up to improve.
