Debut winner at Ankara over 1200m on good going, then 5th of 7 at Istanbul in a 2Y COND4 over 1200m 27 days ago behind Kartal. Drops 200m and draws barrier 2, with Ö.yildirim taking over, which could help him settle closer. Third-up and back to a shorter trip, he has a workable setup to rebound.

Proven from this barrier range (2:1-1) and returns first up after 4 months. Closed last prep with a 1100m win at Adana on soft, beating Oy Yare, after a prior 2nd at Ankara over 1100m behind Siblings under today’s jockey. Up 300m from his 900m debut to 1100m proved suitable then; from barrier 5 again, he profiles to run well fresh.

Impressive debut winner at Istanbul over 1300m (TB) a month ago from barrier 4, scoring under 57kg with Ayhan Kurşun aboard. Rises 100m second-up with the same rider and trainer combination that is 1/1 together. Progressive profile and maps to get a similar run from barrier 4.

Bolted in on debut at Ankara over 1200m (TB) from barrier 1, third-up now and unbeaten at the track and with this jockey-trainer combo (1:1-0-0 for each). Faces a 200m rise to 1400m and draws barrier 3, coming off a 19-day break. Solid platform to progress given the on-track win and favourable setup.

Comes third-up off a 1300m Adana TB win on 27 Sep, scoring from barrier 11 under 53kg with R Kurt aboard, with Miranhan the runner-up. Nine days later she returns with a 100m dip in trip and a barrier improvement to 7, and her current jockey-trainer combo shows 1 win from 2 starts this season. Solid recent progression suggests she can be competitive again.

Second-up after a 77-day break and draws the inside gate, a notable improvement from barrier 8 on debut. First run was 7th of 10 over 1300m at Ankara in a 2Y COND1, and now trims back 100m which could help. With that experience and the better draw, a cleaner run-through can see improvement.
