Kocaeli Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

VAYNAKH (6) maps as a leading chance off a close 2nd at Kocaeli over 2000m on 20 Oct (3Y COND) carrying 51.5kg, and he’s already a Kocaeli 1700m winner. SIHIRLI JOVANKA (1) draws barrier 1 and boasts strong local stats (3 wins at the track, perfect 1/1 at 1700 here) with a solid jockey combo (3 wins from 7). NO MORE SORROW (5) brings sharp recent form, winning at Istanbul over 1500m on 21 Oct (3Y COND19) after a Kocaeli 1400m 2nd in July. LAGUNA SUNSET (2) resumes after 62 days and is a dual Kocaeli winner, including a 1400m win on 18 Aug from barrier 8, but is unproven at 1700.

Comments

Draws barrier 1 and returns to a trip close to her sweet spot, boasting a perfect 1-from-1 at 1700 and an unbeaten track-distance record at Kocaeli. Recent form has dipped with 6th over 1400m and 8th over 1500m, but she was a 2000m winner here in August with 56kg and has a strong rider combination (CurrentJockey 7:3-0-0). On a 14‑day turnaround, the inside draw can help her find a rhythm and rebound.

Comments

Proven at the venue with a strong CurrentTrack record (3:2-0-0), and returns off a 62-day break after an 8th of 8 at Istanbul over 1500m. Earlier wins at Kocaeli over 1400m and 1500m highlight ability, and the barrier profile (7-10: 5:2-0-0) is serviceable. Up 200m to 1700m where unplaced in one try, so a measured hope if reproducing peak track form.

Comments

Recent 2000m Adana run was a solid 3rd behind Shining Force and Hizli Gör, backing up a 3rd over 2100m earlier in the month. Has a 2nd over 1400m at Adana this prep and now drops 300m in trip from last start, which could suit given that effort. With barrier 7 and Ö.f.özen booked, a repeat of those Adana runs puts him in the mix.

Winner over 1800m at Kocaeli two starts back with Mustafa Çiçek aboard, and that rider reunites from a low draw in barrier 2. Comes back 400m after two 1300m Ankara runs on soft, and is on a 10‑day turnaround. Track stats (CurrentTrack 3:1-0-0) and a positive jockey record suggest a competitive showing if settling well.

Comes off a 1500m win at Istanbul on 21 Oct in a 3Y COND19, scoring from barrier 4 with 59kg and defeating First May. Prior Kocaeli runs at 1400m included a 2nd on 30 Jul (GOOD) and a 5th on 13 Oct, and the barrier profile of 4 again looks suitable. On a 13-day turnaround and up 200m, the recent improvement suggests she can hold form.

Proven at Kocaeli with a strong local record (4:1-2-0) and unbeaten at 1700m, including a July win over this track and trip. Comes off a 2nd at Kocaeli over 2000m 14 days ago in 3Y COND, and the slight drop in trip looks a positive. With Y. Gökçe having a solid partnership (3:1-1-0), he profiles as a genuine contender.

Returns to 1700m after mixed Kocaeli runs, including a 5th of 11 over 2000m on 30 Jul carrying 59kg and midfield efforts at 1800–1900m since. Draws barrier 5 and carries 57.5kg, with a CurrentTrack record of (12:1-0-1) but unplaced at this track/trip from one try. Needs to lift on recent figures but the slight drop in trip and handy gate could help settle closer.

Second up after 14 days, he draws barrier 3 and gets back to his Antalya 1400m winning trip. Latest run was 7th of 10 at Kocaeli over 1400m in a 3UP F&M HCP from gate 1 with 56kg, and he did place over 2000m at Izmir earlier in the prep. Back at a suitable distance and better draw, he can improve.
