Consistent at Istanbul this season (4:0-2-2), including a 3rd over 1300m last start on FAST going, behind Whitewalkers and Eccelso, and he’s on a short turnaround at 5 days. Prior run was a 2nd over 1200m on GOOD, and he’s placed at the track and trip. Honest profile suggests he can be in the finish again.

Debuted 15 days ago at Istanbul over 1200m and finished 3rd of 7 behind The Last Dragon and Warrior Pointe, racing from barrier 4 with 57kg. Second-up today from an improved barrier 3 and up 100m, which offers a neat platform to build on that solid first outing.

Draws barrier 1 after a close 3rd at Kocaeli over 1100m on 9 Jun in 2Y MDN (57kg), behind Crimson Power and Steel Wings. Comes off a tougher outing when 7th of 7 over 1200m here 25 days ago, but the inside gate and slight drop back to 1100m can help. Competitive on his best recent effort and can settle closer from the draw.

Second-up off a short 8-day turnaround after finishing 5th of 5 over 1200m at Istanbul in a 2Y COND, drawn wide there and now shifts from barrier 5 to 7. Earlier trial/education run was 5th of 7 over 800m at the same track. Still learning, with a slight rise in trip of 100m and experience at the venue offering some improvement potential.

Fourth-up and drawn well in barrier 2, he comes off a 4th of 7 over 1200m at Istanbul on 3 Jul behind Secret Of Dragon. Prior run was a solid 2nd of 7 in a 2Y MDN over 1000m on 10 Jun (Good), chasing Innerbloom with 57kg; steps back 100m today. Genuine juvenile who has shown early speed and is tracking the right way.

Debuted 43 days ago at Istanbul over 1000m, finishing 3rd of 9 behind Mayback and Coral Reefs, and returns second-up. Steps to 1300m from barrier 5 with the same rider engaged, which looks a suitable progression. Solid first run suggests further improvement is on offer.

Second-up after a debut at Istanbul over 1000m where he drew the outside gate (barrier 10) and finished 9th of 10. Steps to 1300m from barrier 4 with E. Çizik aboard, which should offer a kinder run. Scope to improve with the softer draw and added trip after a 64-day freshen.
