AURORA NOVA (3) is also fourth-up and was 4th in that same Ankara 1600m MDN, suited dropping to 1400m. PERIWINKLE (6) draws much better after a wide run when 5th of 12 at Ankara over 1200m in 2Y Fillies Cond 1, improving from barrier 11 to 2.

Proven early speed with two 2nds and two 3rds from five starts, and draws barrier 1 after racing wide from 8 at Bursa two back. Freshened 78 days and rises to 60kg, but has been competitive at 1000–1100m and maps to get economical runs from the inside. Honest juvenile who can give a sight from the draw.

Proven at Ankara 1400m with a 3rd in a 2Y MDN on 9 Jul, and returns to that trip today after a 1600m run 14 days ago. Carries 59kg (up 2kg) and draws wider in barrier 10, but holds a consistent local record at Ankara (6:0-1-2). Overall, a genuine chance to be competitive back to a suitable distance.

Fourth-up and on a 14‑day turnaround, she was 4th of 7 at Ankara over 1600m in a 2Y MDN, carrying 55kg and finishing behind Voobahr. Drops 200m here and rises to 57kg, with a slightly better barrier than two starts back; prior 1200m runs at Ankara resulted in 5th in both a 2Y COND FILLIES (soft) and a 12‑runner maiden. Honest groundwork this prep suggests she can be competitive back to 1400m with even luck from gate 8.

Drops 4kg to 53kg and steps to 1400m from barrier 6, with a prior barrier range record of (4-6:0-0-1). This setup gives her a chance to progress off that encouraging first run.

Resumes first up after a single 900m run at Ankara when 6th of 8 from barrier 7, now draws barrier 5 and rises 2kg to 57kg. Steps up 500m in trip, which provides a new test, and returns to a track where she has had the one run. Market and parade may guide on progress since that debut effort.

Second-up after an encouraging debut at Ankara over 1200m in a 2Y FILLIES COND 1, finishing 5th of 12 from barrier 11 under 57kg behind True Action. Steps to 1400m with a much better draw in barrier 2, which should help her settle handier. With 19 days between runs, she looks open to further improvement.

Third-up run at Bursa over 1200m (2YF COND) was the peak so far, finishing 3rd with 57kg under today’s jockey E. Çi̇zi̇k. Since then has run 4th and 5th at Ankara, and now drops 200m with a 2kg rise to 57kg from a much wider barrier 11. Honest early profile and the rider knows her, but the draw and weight lift make this a testing setup.

Third-up and back to 57kg, she draws much better in barrier 3 after jumping from 10 last time. Her best run this prep was a 4th of 7 over 1000m at Ankara on 11 Jun on GOOD, and she has raced exclusively here (3:0-0-0). With a slight rise to 1300m and the improved gate, she can settle handier and look to progress.

Earlier ran 4th of 13 over 1200m (2YF COND) at the same track with 57kg. Back to 57kg and drawn barrier 7 today with a small 100m drop in trip, which looks a steady setup for further improvement.

Second-up 2nd at Bursa over 1200m in a 2YF COND gives a clear glimpse of ability, then finished 10th of 11 at Istanbul in a 2YF MDN 22 days ago. Rises 200m today from 1200m to 1400m and draws barrier 9 after 7 last time, with M.S. Çelik retaining the ride. Third-up and back in work, she has a platform to improve if she stays the extra trip.
