Izmir Race 8 - Race 8
TOPLUSER (1) brings the strongest recent maiden form and is on a short turnaround after a 2nd at Bursa on 9 Oct over 1200m (3Y MDN) with 58kg; rises to 60kg but draws well in barrier 3 and has a 1200m record of 2:0-1-1. KALEMLI ŞAHI (10) appeals next after a 2nd at Izmir on 3 Oct over 1400m (AR) with 52kg; drops 200m which suits and keeps the same jockey, with a positive jockey/trainer record. MUKATOVIÇ (5) has solid Izmir 1200m figures including a 2nd on 12 Sep (3Y MDN) and wasn’t far away when 4th on 26 Sep; wide barrier 12 is the query. KÖPRÜCEK (11) maps well from barrier 1 and comes back 200m after a 6th at Izmir on 8 Oct over 1400m (AR), and did run 5th here over 1200m on 26 Sep from a wide alley.

Brings solid recent maiden form, finishing 2nd over 1200m at Bursa eight days ago and 2nd over 1300m here earlier in the prep. Proven at 1200m (2:0-1-1) and draws barrier 3, with the rider having already posted a 2nd on him. On a short turnaround and up 2kg to 60kg, but his current-track and distance stats suggest he can be competitive again.

Drawn barrier 4 with A.küründük booked for Y.akkuş, this 3YO by Balalayka gets a soft gate to find a spot early at 57kg. Well placed to build on his profile with a tidy map on paper, and the setup gives him every chance to run to his ability.

Second-up after a 70-day break, he returns to Izmir where his only run was a 7th of 9 over 1200m carrying 57kg from barrier 1 on Good going. Faces a much wider draw today (barrier 9), but remains at 57kg and stays at the same trip, so incremental improvement is possible with the run under the belt.

Lightly weighted at 53kg from barrier 5 and partnered by S.akşin for M.a.pakel. Debutant profile with Mertadam as sire suggests scope, and the draw gives options. A low-information runner with a workable setup.

On a short turnaround after finishing 8th of 9 over 1600m at Izmir (AR) seven days ago, he now drops 400m back to 1200m where he posted a 2nd in a 3Y MDN on 12 Sep behind Hürkal. Has yet to win at Izmir (6:0-1-0) but his 1200m record (3:0-1-0) suggests the return to sprint trip suits despite a wide barrier 12.

Runner-up over 1200m at Kocaeli on 23 Jun (GOOD) carrying 57kg, and now drops back 200m after two 1400m runs. Returns from an 85-day break fourth-up, with M. Çiçek taking over and barrier 11 wider than recent starts. Proven at the trip with a (1:0-1-0) record, so a competitive showing is within reach if he handles the draw.

Second-up after a 70-day break, he draws much better in barrier 2 after jumping from 9 last time. On debut at Izmir over 1200m in 3Y COND 1, he finished 7th of 10 carrying 57kg on Good ground. The softer draw gives him a chance to improve on that introduction.

Second-up after a 9-day turnaround, having finished 11th of 13 over 1400m at Izmir in AR class carrying 54kg behind Çenger. Drops 200m to 1200m where her best prior effort at the track came over shorter trips, including a 3rd over 1000m at Izmir. With 54kg again and barrier 7, a return to sprinting could help her be more competitive.

Best recent effort was 4th of 14 in a 3Y MDN over 1200m at Izmir on 26 Sep, carrying 51kg on Good. Drops back 200m from a 1400m AR race nine days ago and draws barrier 8, with E D Ökten retaining the ride. Winless at Izmir and 1200m to date, but the recent 1200m run provides a workable platform.

Found sharp improvement last start at Izmir on 3 Oct over 1400m (AR), finishing 2nd under 52kg from barrier 4 behind Maceraperest, and reunites with the same jockey-trainer combo that delivered that result. Drops 200m to 1200m and rises 3kg to 55kg, with a slightly better barrier to 6. Those factors give him a platform to hold form, though his 1200m and track-distance records indicate he still has something to prove at this trip.

Third-up and on a short turnaround (9 days), he comes back 200m to 1200m with a 2kg drop to 52kg. Drew wide when 5th of 15 over 1200m at Izmir first-up, then was 6th of 13 at 1400m; now lands barrier 1 which should help. With the inside draw and lighter weight, he has a chance to build on those solid efforts.

Fourth-up and back to 1200m after finishing 13th of 13 over 1400m at Izmir on 8 Oct in AR grade. Earlier 8th/9 in a 3Y MDN over this trip here, and she drops to 51kg with M.göl from barrier 10. Needs to lift on exposed Izmir/1200 profile but the distance drop and lighter weight could help.
