Started $6.50 and ran 4th last start at the track and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Jockey GöKhan Kocakaya adds value. Seems very unlikely.

Looked good when 3rd last time here. Akin SöZen and Hakan YüZbaşI form a proven partnership. Not at all out of this race.

Ran 2nd last time at the track. Producing consistent results since resuming from a break. More confidence with jockey Vedat Abi̇ş guiding the horse. Expect a forward showing.

At $14.00 finished 7th last start around here but solid career start. Seli̇M Kaya is a strong choice aboard. Gets a chance against these.

Started at $9.00 and lacklustre showing when 9th last start here but can save some energy from the stall. Rough hope.

Fresh after a 27 week spell. Jumped at $71.00 and sub-standard effort when 11th last time at this venue but will appreciate the drop in weight. May find these too slick.
