Outstanding course profile (CurrentTrack 9:5-0-2) and a strong partnership with today’s rider (CurrentJockey 6:5-0-1) are key positives. Comes off a 5th of 8 in a 3UP GROUP 2 at Bursa over 1400m 17 days ago and now rises 4.5kg to 60kg, but draws well in barrier 3. Proven at the venue and the setup looks suitable for a forward showing.

Proven at Ankara with a solid record (4:1-2-0) and twice runner-up at the track and trip (1500), he now draws the inside barrier. Last start he was 4th of 10 over 1300m here, and his prior 1200m win from barrier 1 reads well. Back up to 1500m suits on exposed figures, and he maps to get every chance from gate 1 with 58kg.

Arrives in strong order with back-to-back Ankara 1300m wins, most recently from barrier 1 carrying 56kg under Ahmet Çelik. Prior to that he was runner-up in a 3UP COND over 2000m on SOFT and has a solid local record at Ankara (5:2-2-1). Up 2kg to 58kg and drawn barrier 2, he looks well set to hold form with the in-form rider (2:2-0-0).

Proven at Ankara with a solid (8:3-2-1) track record and returns second-up after a 7th of 7 over 1500m here 14 days ago in 3UP COND. Draws barrier 4 and reunites with Müs.çelik, with whom he has a positive (3:1-1-0) record. Measured on his Ankara record and prior 1600m win last prep, he can improve sharply back at this track.
