Second-up after a narrow 2nd at Kocaeli over 1400m on Good going, carrying 54kg from barrier 2, and the prep record sits at (1:0-1-0). That run also delivered his only distance and track-distance placings, and he again teams with M. Çelik who is (2:0-1-0) aboard. With a short 14-day turnaround and barrier 7, he looks ready to hold form at this trip.

Back from a 15-day break after a career-best 3rd at Bursa over 1300m, splitting Today Is A Gift and finishing behind Çilli Cafer. Drawn barrier 5 (better than last start) and stays around the same trip with a slight 100m rise, which looks suitable given recent improvement. Honest profile at Bursa this prep suggests she can hold her form.

Second-up on a short turnaround after debuting at Bursa over 1200m in a 2Y COND, finishing 8th of 8 on Good going with 57kg. Steps up 200m and draws barrier 8 after barrier 5 first-up; looking for natural improvement with race experience.

On a short turnaround after finishing 4th of 5 at Izmir over 1400m nine days ago, carrying 53kg from barrier 2 behind Sirius Mi. Has been kept busy through 1000m-1400m this prep without placing, and again draws well in barrier 4 with 53kg. Honest efforts to date suggest another competitive showing at this trip.

Third-up and building well after a 3rd at Bursa (1000m, GOOD) then a 2nd at Kocaeli (1100m, 2Y MDN, 57kg), both from barrier 6. Holds a (CurrentTrack: 1:0-1-0) and (Good: 2:0-1-1), and maps similarly from barrier 6. Up 300m today, the profile suggests he’s ready to run well again.

Drops 2kg to 55kg and draws barrier 9 after working from 12 when 8th of 11 over 1200m at Bursa on 20 Jul in 2Y MDN, with Perhaps scoring. Prior run was a more competitive 4th of 6 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 30 Jun. With a 200m trim in trip and a handier gate, a better showing is within reach.

Second-up and draws inside after a wide gate on debut, with a 2kg drop to 55kg and a 200m rise to 1400m. Debut effort at Bursa over 1200m in 2YF COND saw her finish 8th of 10 from barrier 9 on Good going behind Wolf Women. Better draw and setup could help her progress.

Second-up after a 28-day break and drops to 55kg, with an inside draw improving to barrier 3. Debut effort at Bursa over 1000m was 5th of 9 on Good, and now steps to 1100m. Light weight and the draw give scope to progress at this stage of the prep.

Debuted at Kocaeli over 1100m in a 2Y COND, finishing 2nd of 11 from barrier 3 at 55kg, splitting Brave Athena and the rest. Second-up from barrier 1 and stretching 300m in trip, the inside draw should afford a soft run and set up another competitive showing.
