Bursa Race 5

Bursa Büyükşehi̇r Beledi̇ye Başkanliği

Prize Money: -

FORTISSIMO (2) sets the standard with five straight wins and a perfect 4/4 at 1400m, including a last-start Bursa 1400m success, so rates the one they have to get past. RATTLESNAKE (5) is the main danger with an unbeaten five-from-five profile and three wins at 1400m, well drawn to stalk. BARBAR BARLO (1) has claims dropping back to 1400m after winning two of three at the trip and maps to use barrier 1. TODAY IS A GIFT (7) is consistent and comes off a Bursa 1400m 2nd, but faces two prolific winners; slight leaning to FORTISSIMO (2) in a tight verdict.

Comments

Proven at 1400m with a strong record (3:2-0-1), and drops back from 1600m which looks a plus. Recent form reads well, having won 2 of last 3. Latest was 4th of 6 at Izmir over 1600m on 24 Oct, and prior 3rd of 8 here at Bursa over 1400m on 28 Aug. With A. Sözen up and staying in the same grade, Barbar Barlo profiles as a solid chance at this trip.

Unbeaten and in sparkling form, having won 5 of last 5, including a 1st of 9 over 1400m at Bursa on 30 Oct. Perfect at this trip (4:4-0-0) and the M.M. Bilgin/Ser. Gökçe combination is likewise flawless (5:5-0-0). Stays in the same grade and keeps a proven setup. Fortissimo brings a strong profile for another bold showing.

Comments

Placed in 3 of last 5 and brings solid 2yo form. Last run was 2nd of 6 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 3 Nov, so the 1400m here is a new ask off that effort. This season’s record (5:2-1-0) reads well for a small field. With O. Yildiz booked, Meloncitto profiles as a consistent chance.

Stays in the same grade and stretches from 1200m to 1400m after a 5th of 6 at Kocaeli. Ö.F. Özen rides for M. Dolak. Measured profile but the extra trip provides a different setup.

Brings outstanding momentum, having won 5 of last 5. Perfect at 1400m (3:3-0-0) and unbeaten in three starts with M.S. Çelik for M. Dolak. Latest win was over 1500m at Ankara on 24 Oct on soft, taking a field of 8. Strong profile to hold form back to 1400m at Bursa.

Proven at Bursa with an excellent (6:3-1-0) record. Latest effort was 4th of 5 over 1500m at Kocaeli on 1 Oct, and stays in the same grade here. With M. Çiçek booked and back to Bursa over 1400m, that home-track record gives her a solid platform.

Comments

Placed in 5 of last 5 and brings solid 1400m credentials (3:1-1-1). Last start at Bursa over 1400m on 30 Oct was a tidy 2nd of 9, and now draws better moving from barrier 6 to 3. Has been reliable with this jockey-trainer combo (3:0-1-2). Consistent profile and a handier gate make Today Is A Gift a genuine chance to feature again.
