Ankara Race 5 - Race 5
MELIKE (6) appeals most with a solid 2nd two runs back at Ankara and a credible 4th at this trip, suggesting she handles the track and should cope with the heavy going better than most unproven rivals. GENERAL FEMALE (5) is a danger dropping back to Ankara with a 1400m placing at Kocaeli and multiple thirds this season, offering consistent figures in a thin form race. DEFNE NELE (4) can run well fresh after a 3rd on debut at Ankara and maps to get economical runs from barrier 2, though the rise to 1400m on heavy is a query. SUFERING (8) has the recent 1500m Ankara 3rd but needs to lift on his latest 1400m effort; minor claims. Leaning to MELIKE (6) to edge a competitive finish.

Fourth up and draws the inside after jumping from 7 last time. Latest run was 10th of 10 over 1400m at Ankara on 24 Oct on soft ground. The kinder barrier gives M.G. Arslan options. Can improve with the draw and race fitness.

Third up and stays at 1400m after finishing 8th of 10 over this trip at Ankara on 24 Oct on soft ground. Heavy ground is a new test, but the track is familiar. Same grade as last start. Measured setup that can see Clove settle into the preparation now.

Fourth up and back to 53kg after carrying 57kg last time. Last start here over 1400m on 27 Aug she finished 7th of 8 on GOOD. Heavy ground is a new test, but the weight drop gives her a chance to lift.

First up after about four months, and draws better moving from barrier 6 to 2. Last seen 4 Jul at Ankara over 1200m on GOOD, finishing 3rd of 9. Steps to 1400m on HEAVY and keeps A. Kurşun for Kad. Baltaci. Set-up looks reasonable for Defne Nele to run well.

Back to 1400m at Ankara after a 6th of 12 over 1200m here on 26 Sep on good ground. Prior run at this track and trip on 27 Aug resulted in 9th of 11. Stays in the same grade and now faces heavy ground.

Third up and draws better from barrier 3 after jumping from 6 last time. Latest run was 4th of 7 over 1400m at Ankara on 17 Oct, so the trip holds no fears. Stays in the same grade and gets E. Çankaya again. Fair claims if she can build on that effort.

First starter by Myboycharlie out of Divine Baby for M. Tekinalp with F. Yücel booked. Debuts at 1400m at Ankara on heavy ground, a testing assignment for a 2yo. Set-up is straightforward and connections are solid, so a tidy introduction would not surprise.

Fourth up and staying at 1400m after finishing 8th of 10 over this trip at Ankara on 24 Oct on soft ground. Faces heavy conditions here, a new test, with M. Akyavuz aboard for E. Akyavuz. Low-key recent run but race fitness is building, so a settled passage could see improvement.
