Ankara Race 8 - Race 8
YELLOW LION (1) draws barrier 1 and has twice placed over 1300m at Ankara, including 2nd in a 2Y COND 19 here on 20 Aug; maps to get every chance up to 1400m. DEMIRKIR ŞAHI (3) is on a short turnaround after a 3rd over 1200m here on 1 Sep and rises 200m, which suits his staying profile. LADY SOVEREIGN (8) was 5th over 1400m at Ankara 12 days ago and can build second up from a similar draw. SÜPER BLOOM (7) resumes after a 3rd over 1000m here in June and stretches 400m, with barrier 7 workable if he begins cleanly.

Consistent at Ankara with two recent 2nds over 1300m, most recently in a 2Y COND 19 on 20 Aug from barrier 4 under Mert Gökalp Arslan. Draws the inside gate this time and sticks with the same jockey, and his track record (6:0-2-0) suggests he’s holding form. Well placed to be competitive again from barrier 1.

Second-up after a debut 6th of 8 at Ankara over 1400m (TB) 17 days ago, drawn the rails and carrying 57kg behind Hegemonya and Giant Wave. Now moves to barrier 8 with the same jockey-trainer combination and returns to the same track and trip. With that experience, a step forward is possible.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Ankara over 1200m (TB) a week ago, beaten 0L behind Saratoga Springs and Diablo Moreno carrying 57kg from barrier 1. Draws barrier 5 today with a 200m rise in trip, and retains E. Çizik who rode on debut. Short turnaround and natural improvement can see him measure up again.

First-up after 89 days and draws barrier 2, a notable improvement from gate 5 last time. Debuted at Ankara over 1000m, finishing 6th of 7 behind Rose Warrior carrying 57kg, and now stretches 400m in trip. With the softer draw and added distance, can show improvement.

Returns first up after 122 days with a 500m rise in trip from a debut 8th of 8 over 900m at Ankara on 9 May when carrying 57kg. Draws barrier 3 again and switches to H. Çizik for this assignment, with the step to 1400m the key to any improvement.

Third-up and back to Ankara from barrier 4 after drawing wide on debut. Debut run was 6th of 10 over 1300m in a 2Y COND1 (GOOD), then finished 8th of 8 over 1400m here 21 days ago behind Frequestist. Needs to lift on those efforts but the handier draw gives him a cleaner run at it.

Resumes first up after a debut 3rd at Ankara over 1000m (8 runners) when carrying 57kg from barrier 2 behind Hayretbişey and Bomboloni. Steps up 400m in trip and draws barrier 7 this time, with the same trainer engaged. Solid debut reference suggests he can be competitive again if he progresses.

Second-up after a 5th of 9 at Ankara over 1400m (TB) 12 days ago from barrier 5, carrying 57kg, behind Stremtsi and Spirit Of Lux. Stays at Ankara with a slight barrier improvement to 6 and retains Müslüm Çelik; track-and-trip experience should help. A measured step forward would see her competitive.
