SPIDER (1) brings consistent 2YO form with multiple minors, including 3rd here over 1200m nine days ago, though rises to 60kg and shifts to barrier 9. ŞAHAP BAŞKAN (7) was 3rd at Ankara over 1200m on debut and now gains barrier 1 second up. YONCAHAN (10) is second up after a 3rd over 1200m at Izmir and improves markedly in barrier from 10 to 3 with 55kg.

Consistent juvenile with this season’s (4:0-1-2) profile and placed in both Istanbul runs, including 3rd over 1200m in 2Y COND4 nine days ago behind Kartal and Atomic Age. Returns to 1200m with a notable 5kg rise to 60kg and an 8-barrier wider than last start, but has a solid distance record (2:0-1-1). Competitive on recent evidence, though the new weight asks for a touch more.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, racing on-speed from barrier 5 at 57kg. Stays at 57kg and draws better in barrier 4, with prior track/distance placing (track/distance: 1:0-0-1) a plus. Solid platform to progress.

Debutant 2YO for N.esen with H.karataş booked and 57kg from barrier 10. Pedigree by Kuzey Kafkasyali out of Kontesim suggests early speed influences. Market and parade will guide, but the set-up looks straightforward for a first look.

Third-up and drops to 53kg with a 300m cutback after finishing 6th of 8 over 1500m at Kocaeli on 1 Sep (TB, GOOD), drawn better today after barrier 4 last time. Debut run at Istanbul over 1300m (2Y COND, GOOD) saw him 8th of 11 from a wide gate. The lighter weight and slight barrier improvement give him a more suitable setup to progress.

Debuted 17 days ago at Ankara over 1200m (TB) and finished 3rd of 7 from barrier 3, carrying 57kg; now second-up. Draws the inside gate and stays at 57kg, with the same trainer engaged. Well set up to build on that first-up placing from barrier 1.

Second-up after a 16-day turnaround, improved to 5th of 11 at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y MDN from barrier 8 (55kg), with Asil Kraliçe winning. Drops back 100m and draws barrier 5, an inside lift from last time, with the same rider booked. That recent run suggests further improvement is possible in this setup.

Promising debut when 3rd of 11 over 1200m at Izmir two weeks ago, beaten narrowly behind Chillax and Lady Rivelya after working from barrier 10 with 57kg. Drops 2kg to 55kg and draws barrier 3 second up, a setup that can help him build on that solid first run.
