Kocaeli Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: -

GRANDE TEMPESTA (5) sets the standard after a convincing 1st over 1700m here on HEAVY and looks well placed up to 1800m with proven track form. KING MAHIR (3) is a danger backing up off a 1st over 1900m at this track and owns a solid 1800m record, including a win at this trip here. HEAVEN LIGHT (2) has consistent local form with multiple recent placings and a prior 2nd at 1800m at this venue, so must be kept safe. AFTER BURNER (1) appeals for exotics off a last-start 2nd over 2000m and a prior 2nd at this trip, but the HEAVY is a query; leaning GRANDE TEMPESTA (5) in a measured verdict.

Comments

Comes off a 2nd of 12 over 2000m at Bursa on 30 Oct and stays in the same grade. Drops back to 1800m on heavy going, with Ha. Gökçe booked. From similar barriers (4-6) has a solid (5:0-2-2) profile. Genuine claims to be around the mark.

Comments

Placed in 3 of last 5 and draws the inside after jumping from 7 last time, which could help around Kocaeli’s 1800m. Ran 3rd of 10 over 1400m here on 20 Oct and has solid local figures overall (10:2-3-3). This season’s (5:1-0-2) profile reads consistently. Well set up to hold form from the low gate on heavy ground.

Comments

Proven at Kocaeli with a solid record here (8:2-1-2), and last start scored over 1900m at this track on 3 Nov. Draws better from barrier 2 after jumping from 6 last time, which can help secure the right spot. Stays in the same grade and handles the local circuit well. Sound claims for another forward showing at 1800m.

Back from a 2000m run at Bursa on 30 Oct, finishing 6th of 12 on good ground, and now drops to 1800m on heavy. Stays in the same grade. With C. Paso up for E. Turan, this set-up gives a different look on testing ground.

Brings winning heavy-ground form at Kocaeli, having scored over 1700m on 27 Oct. Draws better now, coming in from barrier 7 to 3, which should aid the set-up at 1800m. Same grade as last start, and M.M. Bilgin sticks with the ride. Solid credentials to hold form in this small field.

Steps to 1800m after finishing 11th of 11 over 1500m at Istanbul on 23 Sep, and faces HEAVY ground rather than GOOD3. With O. Atmaca booked and a small field of 7, the setup could allow a more settling run. Little Boss needs to lift but the change in trip and conditions gives a different look.

Kept on for 3rd of 11 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 3 Nov and now stretches to 1800m on heavy. Stays in the same grade and retains Ö.F. Özen. With that platform at the track, a steady showing is within reach.
