Bursa Race 6 - Race 6
KÖSTENCELI BEY (1) sets the standard with three 2nds at Bursa this prep, including 2nd over 1300m on 27 Jul and again over 1200m on 19 Jun, and draws barrier 5 after a solid 4th over 1400m here nine days ago at 60kg. OLD GUARD (4) is second up and can improve from a much better barrier (2) after finishing 4th of 5 in a 1200m 2Y COND at Bursa on 3 Aug. PRAVDA (5) resumes third up with a Bursa 1200m maiden 3rd on 19 Jun and can figure. HARD DRINK (3) is second up, steps to 1400m, and draws slightly better than debut at Kocaeli.

Consistent at Bursa with four placings in six runs this prep, including 2nd in 2Y MDN over 1200m on 19 Jun and again over 1300m on 27 Jul. Last start 4th of 8 in a 2Y MDN here over 1400m (60kg) nine days ago from barrier 7, and draws better in 5 today. Honest type whose recent efforts at the track and slight gate improvement keep him in the mix.

First starter from A.mantaş, drawn barrier 4 with Y.t.akkaya booked. By Amerīkali out of Lucky Neko, the setup looks straightforward for a debut. Market and parade may guide.

Second-up after a 55-day break and steps to 1400m, which could suit after a 1200m debut at Kocaeli when 5th of 9 from barrier 9. Draws slightly better in 8 and remains at 57kg; with natural improvement at the prep_stage, a forward move is within reach.

Second-up after a lone run at Bursa 30 days ago, finishing 4th of 5 in a 2Y COND over 1200m. Draws much better today from barrier 2 (was 8) and steps to 1400m, which could suit. Lightly raced and open to improvement under 57kg.

Third-up and back to Bursa after a 75-day freshen, he improved sharply second start when 3rd of 8 over 1200m in a 2Y MDN from barrier 7, behind Secret Joy and Köstenceli Bey. Stays at Bursa and draws the same gate, with prior third from barrier 7 a small positive.

Second-up on a short turnaround after a debut 5th of 8 at Bursa over 1400m (GOOD) in TB class, drawn 1 and carrying 54kg. Steps from barrier 1 to 6 today, with Y.gökçe taking over from Eren Kadırler. With that experience under the belt, natural improvement is feasible.

Second-up after debuting at Bursa over 1400m in a 2Y MDN, finishing 8th of 8 from barrier 1 on good ground. Stays at the same track and trip nine days later with E. Akkaya taking over, and the inside draw again should aid a more economical run. Scope to improve with the run under the belt.

Draws barrier 3 after a wide gate at Kocaeli 22 days ago when 9th of 9 over 1400m in a 2Y MDN. Earlier 4th of 11 at Kocaeli over 1400m and 3rd over 1100m suggest some early ability, and reunites with Okan Gökçe who rode those better efforts. With the softer draw and familiar rider, a bounce back into the frame is within reach.
