Ankara Race 8 - Race 8
DERBY WARRIOR (3) appeals most stepping to 1600m after a debut win over 1400m, arriving unbeaten and drawn to get every chance. Progressive TOALA (8) is the danger after a decisive 1400m Ankara win and has strong local stats with this rider. Honest DRAGON IS FATHER (1) keeps holding form with four placings in his last five and stretches to a mile after a recent Istanbul success. Improving ŞAHAP BAŞKAN (2) also fits in well off two wins from his last three and brings a consistent strike this season; slight lean to DERBY WARRIOR (3) in a tight finish.

Placed in 4 of the last 5 and comes off a 1st of 11 over 1300m at Istanbul on 1 Nov. Solid local profile at Ankara (4:0-1-2) and has been consistent this season (5:1-1-2). E. Çizik sticks, and the set-up to 1600m looks a natural progression. Consistent type who stays in the same grade and should be competitive again.

Won 2 of last 3 and brings a solid this season profile (4:2-0-2). Last start was 3rd of 6 over 1300m at Istanbul on 18 Oct on good ground, and now stretches to 1600m. Müs. Çelik rides for M.A. Canpolatli. Progressive profile suggests Şahap Başkan can hold form in this line-up.

Second up after a 1st of 4 over 1400m at Istanbul on 16 Oct, and now stretches to 1600m. H. Karataş sticks, which suits continuity. Progressive profile for Derby Warrior stepping to the mile.

Fourth up and placed in 2 of last 3, with this season’s record reading (3:1-1-0). Latest run was 7th of 7 over 1600m at Istanbul on 21 Oct, so a lift is required back to the mile. With M. Bayir booked for A. İpek, Final Legend brings enough recent consistency to be competitive if bouncing off that last effort.

Proven at Ankara with a solid (4:2-0-1) record, and draws better moving from barrier 6 to 3. Last start was 6th of 8 over 1400m here on 8 Oct on good ground, and this set-up looks kinder from a low alley. Placed in 3 of last 5 overall, and has handled inside gates before with (1-3) barriers yielding 1 win and a placing from 3 starts. Genuine claims back at her preferred venue with a friendlier draw.

Fourth up and comes off a 4th of 9 over 1200m at Adana on 27 Oct on good ground. Steps to 1600m now and stays in the same grade, which could suit given the grounding. Draws on experienced rider M. Akyavuz for C. Karataş. Honest profile to hold a spot in the finish.
