Second-up after a debut 6th of 8 at Ankara over 1200m, drawn 7 and carrying 57kg on Good going behind Ken Parker. Steps up 300m in trip and draws slightly better in barrier 6; with 79 days between runs, natural improvement would see him more competitive.

Unraced 2YO for N.esen with V.abiş booked and barrier 8. By Kuzey Kafkasyali out of Kontesim, this debut setup reads straightforward; keep safe on profile.

Fourth-up and back to 1200m after two 1400m runs, returning from a 14-day turnaround. Last start at Ankara on 1 Oct over 1200m (TB), he finished 7th of 9 from barrier 7 on soft going under 53kg, with Pasadena winning. Needs to lift on exposed Ankara record (3:0-0-0) but the drop in trip could help.

Third-up and back to Ankara after a 7th over 1400m in a 2Y MDN FILLIES on 27 Aug, now drops 300m which could suit given earlier runs were at 1200m. Draws barrier 5 after coming from 8 last time, with 57kg retained; recent form is yet to feature but the softer draw and trip tweak offer a chance to improve.
