Ankara Race 7 - Race 7
SON OF DRAGON (4) appeals on the back of his Ankara 1600m maiden win on 13 Aug (GOOD) and holds a 1:1 track/distance record, now drawn 6 with the same 57kg. VOOBAHR (5) is a threat after scoring over this trip at Ankara on 13 Aug and draws inside in barrier 2. HEGEMONYA (1) is second-up after winning a 1400m TB at Ankara 17 days ago and maps to get a soft run from barrier 1. ROYAL DYNASTY (3) is third-up and was 3rd over 1400m here on 25 Aug; he rises 2kg but owns a prior Ankara win at 1300m.

Debuted at Ankara over 1400m on 22 Aug, winning a TB race under 57kg from barrier 6 with Gökhan Kocakaya aboard. Second-up now, draws the inside gate and steps back 200m, with unbeaten records at track and on good ground, plus a 1-from-1 partnership with the rider. Well placed to progress from that first-up success.

Dual winner early in the prep, including a 1100m Izmir success and a 1200m Bursa win, before a 2nd at Ankara (1300m, GOOD) carrying 60kg. Last two Istanbul runs at 1200m returned 4th of 5 in 2Y COND and 5th of 9, and he now draws barrier 3 with 57kg. Proven from low draws and back to a more favourable gate, he can rebound if reproducing his mid-prep form.

Proven at Ankara and on good going, winning a 2Y COND1 over 1300m before a 3rd of 5 here over 1400m two weeks ago behind En Passant and Equal Gold. Rises 2kg to 57kg and stretches to 1600m, but draws barrier 5 and reaches third-up. Honest profile this prep suggests he can hold his form.

Progressive profile at Ankara with a win over 1600m in a 2Y MDN on 13 Aug carrying 57kg from barrier 8, beating Afamia, and now draws better in 6. Earlier 2nd over 1400m in a 2Y MDN on 9 Jul on good ground supports the mile credentials. With a perfect 1/1 at the track and trip and the same jockey-trainer combination successful last start, he appeals as a solid chance.

Progressive 2YO coming third-up, fresh off a 1600m Ankara 2Y MDN win (57kg) on Good, drawing barrier 6 and putting away Furiosa. Prior run was a solid 3rd over 1300m in a 2Y COND1 from the inside draw on Good. Back to Ankara with a favourable barrier 2 and an unbeaten mark at the mile, he profiles to hold form at this trip.

Proven at Ankara with a 2Y MDN win over 1400m two starts back and a 3rd over 1200m last time, and now draws barrier 4. Carries 57kg after shouldering 54kg when placing 10 days ago and steps up 400m, which aligns with his prior 1400m success. Solid local record on good ground suggests he can hold his form under today’s setup.
