Ankara Race 7 - Race 7
CONCENTRATE (4) looks ready to strike second up after a 2nd over 1300m here on soft and now stretches to 1600m from a handy draw. PAGANINI (3) is the danger, twice runner-up at this track before a forgive run last time and should appreciate 1600m. EL QUIQUE (2) has been around the mark with two recent placings including a 2nd here over 1400m, but must rebound from Bursa. JOYFUL RUNNER (10) is in the mix from barrier 3 with a 3rd over 1400m here two starts back and a solid follow-up run; narrow edge to CONCENTRATE (4).

Two-year-old stepping to 1600m after finishing 8th of 10 over 1400m at Ankara on 22 Oct. Stays at the same track and sticks with E. Çizik. Low-key profile so far, but the extra trip gives Meydan Oku a different look.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and now rises to 1600m after finishing 8th of 9 over 1400m at Bursa on 30 Oct. Stays in the same grade and draws on the experience of M. Akyavuz for H. Sunkar. With that grounding, El Quique has a platform to be competitive at this trip.

Fourth up and placed in 2 of last 3, with both seconds coming at Ankara. Latest run was 8th of 8 over 1400m here on 10 Oct on good going, so the step to 1600m asks a different question. Solid course record (3:0-2-0) points to effectiveness at this venue. Creditable claims if reproducing his earlier Ankara placings.

Second up and comes off a 2nd of 7 over 1300m at Ankara on 29 Oct on soft ground. Stays in the same grade and steps to 1600m, which could suit at this stage of the prep. Draws on experience at the track and keeps E. Aktuğ. Competitive on exposed form.

Third up and draws much better, moving from barrier 7 to 2. Recent Ankara run over 1500m on 17 Oct should bring him on for the mile. Stays in the same grade. With A. Kaçmaz up for Ö. Alaçam, Longevity gets a favourable set-up from the low draw.

Third up and staying in the same grade, with a return to Ankara where 6th of 7 over 1300m on 29 Oct came on soft ground. Steps to 1600m, which could suit at this stage of the prep. H. Çizik rides for Hüs. Tekinalp. Balanced profile for this set-up without exposed mile form yet.

Second up and draws better with barrier 5 after coming from 11 last time. Last start was 6th of 13 over 1400m at Adana on 11 Oct. Stays in the same grade and can be afforded some leeway to improve at 1600m with the handier gate under Müs. Çelik.

Third up and draws much better, shifting from barrier 11 to 3 since the last run. At the most recent start on 24 Oct at Ankara over 1400m on soft ground, finished 5th of 11. Stays in the same grade and gets M.S. Çelik aboard. Set-up looks more favourable to hold a competitive spot.
