Izmir Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: -

GERARD (5) sets the standard with wins at 2100m and 2200m here before a close 2nd over a mile; back to 1900m suits and his strong Izmir record adds confidence. BALKI TAY (2) appeals as the main danger, boasting a solid 1900m profile and a recent 2nd at Izmir 2100m despite an off run last start. SEMEND BATUR (1) is in the mix dropping back from 2100m after winning here at 1900m two starts ago and has a tidy track-and-trip record. ÇAĞDAŞ ALAÇAT (3) has deep Izmir experience and was 3rd over 2100m last time; consistent enough to figure late, but preference is for GERARD (5) to land it.

Comments

Strong 1900m Izmir profile with (3:1-2-0), and overall track record reads (13:1-7-3). Placed in 3 of last 5 and draws much better, moving from barrier 8 to 2 since a forgive run when 8th of 9 over 1800m at Bursa on 6 Nov. With proven track-and-trip credentials and a soft gate, looks set to give a bold account.

Brings solid Izmir credentials, having finished 3rd of 8 over 2100m on 24 Oct and 5th of 12 at this trip on 24 Sep. The partnership with M.M. Bilgin reads well (15:5-3-1), which is a clear positive. Back to 1900m at Izmir, Çağdaş Alaçat looks a steady proposition.

First up after about five months, Edizbarış draws better from barrier 3 and comes back 200m. Proven at 1900m with a strong record (3:2-0-1). Last start was 9th of 10 over 2100m at Ankara on 20 Jun on soft, so this setup looks more suitable. Well placed to run to that preferred trip.

Comments

Won 2 of last 3 and arrives off a 1st of 8 at Izmir over 2100m on 24 Oct. Back to 1900m, the trip of an earlier Izmir run on 4 Sep that yielded 7th of 11, but current form is stronger. With Gökh. Gökçe up for F. Arslanca, he brings winning momentum at the track. Competitive if holding that latest level.

Back to 1900m after a 4th of 11 over 2000m at Izmir on 5 Nov on heavy ground, which reads better than the prior 9th of 12 here at this trip on 24 Sep on good. Stays in the same grade. A. İnci rides for F. Arslanca. Solid recent run suggests a competitive showing back at this distance.

Third up and stays in the same grade after finishing 9th of 9 over 2100m at Izmir on 29 Oct on soft ground. Back to 1900m could help, and M. Göl sticks with Tılısım for Y. Akkuş. Measured claims.
