Draws the inside gate after a tough 12th of 13 over 1400m at Istanbul 12 days ago, having raced from barrier 3. Has a win at Istanbul and a handy barrier record (3:1-1-0), and was competitive two back when 6th of 17 over 1600m. The soft draw and return to Istanbul could help him settle closer and improve.

Unbeaten this season and at Istanbul (2:2-0-0), winning 1300m first-up with 57kg then backing up to score over 1200m eight days ago from barrier 3. Steps to third-up today with G. Kocakaya, who was aboard for the initial win, and draws barrier 3 again with 52kg last time now lifted to today’s impost. Progressive profile and a short turnaround suggests he holds his form well.

Comes off a narrow 2nd at Ankara over 1400m 13 days ago from barrier 8 under 53kg, beaten 0L by Dedemhamzareis, and now draws better in 6.

Brings solid recent form, runner-up at Bursa over 1200m (3Y COND, 8 runners) 10 days ago under 57kg with M.m.bilgin, who rides again. Has a handy Istanbul record (4:1-0-2) and placed at the track/trip previously, and the small barrier improvement to 4 should help his run style. Genuine chance to hold form at this distance rise of 200m.

On a short turnaround after finishing 5th of 9 at Istanbul over 1400m in 3Y FILLIES COND 6 from barrier 2 with 59kg, having previously won at 1400m at Ankara. Strong jockey affinity (CurrentJockey 5:3-0-0) and solid gate stats near the rail (barrier 1-3: 3:1-0-0) add confidence from barrier 2. Proven this season (2:1-0-0) and at the trip (2:1-0-0), so a competitive showing is within reach.
