Kocaeli Race 3 - Race 3
MAYBACK (1) maps as the one to beat back at Kocaeli 1200m after winning here over 1200m 14 days ago with M.Kaya, and he boasts 1/1 at the track and 2/4 on good. VICTORY XECE (4) has solid 1200m credentials (1 win, 1 second from 3) and draws barrier 1 after a close 2nd at Kocaeli over 1200m two starts back. CRIMSON POWER (2) is a Kocaeli winner with consistent juvenile form, including a maiden win over 1100m here and a recent 3rd at Ankara over 1200m. VENENO (3) drops back 200m and has twice placed at 1200m, now drawn barrier 2 with a 3kg weight drop from last start.

Proven at Kocaeli 1200m, winning from barrier 4 two weeks ago under Mehmet Fatih Kaya, who rides again. Solid records at the track (1:1-0-0), trip (3:1-0-0) and on good ground (4:2-0-0) underpin a straightforward on-speed profile from gate 4; holds a genuine chance to hold form despite a 1kg rise to 58kg.

Proven at Kocaeli with a 2Y MDN win over 1100m on 9 Jun (Good) and a subsequent 2nd there on 23 Jun behind Dragon Victory, both at 54kg. Latest two 1200m runs were 3rd at Ankara on 7 Jul and 4th at Kocaeli on 14 Jul, and now draws barrier 5 with M. Çelik, who has a strong record on the horse (3:1-1-0). Honest juvenile with solid local credentials and a suitable setup to hold form.

Back to 1200m with a 3kg drop to 54kg and draws barrier 2, a setup that aligns with two prior 1200m thirds and a solid (1200:2-0-2) record. Comes off a 1400m Ankara run 9 days ago and now reunites with a low draw. Proven on Good going and has placed for this jockey, so a competitive showing is within reach.

Draws barrier 1 and returns to 1200m, a trip where the record reads (3:1-1-0), with a track/distance second from one run. Last start was 3rd of 5 over 1300m at Istanbul (57kg), and now drops 2kg to 55kg on an 18‑day turnaround. Consistent at this journey and maps to get every chance from the inside draw.

Third-up and dropping to 52kg after carrying 57kg at Bursa, with a better draw than the wide gates faced in both starts. Last time at Kocaeli over 1200m (2Y MDN) from barrier 8 he finished 8th of 8 on good ground behind Süper Lion; prior run was 9th of 9 at Bursa (2YF COND) over 1200m. The lighter weight and mid draw offer a more forgiving setup to show improvement at 1200m.

Second-up after a debut 5th of 6 at Kocaeli over 1200m on 04 Aug, carrying 57kg from barrier 1 behind My Brave Girl. Drops 5kg to 52kg and draws barrier 3 on the short turnaround of 9 days, which could help. Scope to improve with that run under the belt.
