Has been consistent this season (5:0-3-0) with three runner-up efforts at Istanbul, including seconds behind Baydarbey, Obağaç and Alamaç. Latest 7th of 8 over 1400, and now drops 200m. Back to 1200 suits given his (1200:1:0-1-0) and track/distance placing, so a positive showing is within reach.

Debuted 8th of 14 in a 1300m 3Y COND at Istanbul on 1 Jul on Good, carrying 57kg, with Gürdalhan scoring. Second-up now for F. Turan with K. Gökçe again aboard and drawn barrier 12, he can take improvement from that race experience.

Best run this prep was 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m (Good) on 27 May, carrying 57kg from barrier 12 behind Haydi Sevda and Abimsin. Since then has finished 9th at 1300m and 1400m, and now drops back 200m and draws barrier 10 after 11. Back to the trip of his lone placing at this track (Istanbul 4:0-0-1, 1200m 1:0-0-1) gives him a chance to improve.

Fourth-up and consistent at Istanbul, including 3rd over 1200m on good ground on 3 Jun and 3rd over 1300m on 12 Jun. Drops back to 1200m where it’s 1:0-0-1, matching its (Istanbul, 1200) record. A repeat of those efforts keeps it in the mix.

Gets a significant barrier upgrade to 1 after debuting from 14 when 8th of 14 at Istanbul over 1300m (3Y COND) with 55kg on 1 Jul. Second-up now and the inside draw should afford a softer run; open to improvement.
