Kocaeli Race 2 - Race 2
DISU BEY (1) sets the standard with consistent 2nds at 1400m and solid Kocaeli figures, and the inside draw should let him handle the heavy track tempo. ÖZASYALI (9) looks the main danger off a last-start 3rd at 1400m and gets in light at 52kg, which suits testing ground. KALEMEYDAN (7) has recent 4th-place efforts at 1200-1400m and can be competitive despite the wide gate. AKÇAALI (2) has a Kocaeli placing and honest recent efforts at 1400m, so includes for depth. Lean DISU BEY (1) in a grinding finish. Something for the Multiples: ÖZASYALI (9)

Draws much better with barrier 3 after jumping from 8 last time. Last start was 5th of 11 over 1500m at Istanbul on 30 Oct on good ground, and now comes back slightly in trip to 1400m on heavy. A. Yildiz rides for Mi̇r. İpek. With the improved gate and minor distance drop, Akçaali has a workable set-up to be competitive.

Brought to 1400m at Bursa on 2 Nov and finished 6th of 11 on good ground, and now strikes heavy going. The shift in surface is the key variable, with K. Yilmaz taking over for N. Gündüz. Scope to improve if handling conditions.

Drops into a 1400m HEAVY assignment after finishing 7th of 11 over 1200m on SOFT at Istanbul on 23 Oct. The extra trip could prove suitable and E. Bozdağ retains the ride. Ground is a variable, but the set-up gives Birtugan a chance to improve.

Second up and out to 1400m after finishing 11th of 14 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 20 Oct. The step in trip could help, and a return to the same track gives a reference point. Handles a heavy surface test here. Emir El Zaman can improve with the added fitness and distance.

Draws much better here, coming from barrier 12 last time to gate 2. Last start was 7th of 11 over 1400m at Bursa on 2 Nov on GOOD going, and this is the same trip. O. Atmaca rides for Ram. Kaya. The improved gate should give Gökkılıç a cleaner run at the preferred distance.

Back to Kocaeli after an 8th of 14 over 1200m here on 20 Oct. Steps to 1400m, which could suit better than the sprint trip. Draws on a heavy track, so adaptability will be tested. With U. Levent up for T. Çekici, can settle into the longer journey and look to improve.

Draws better here, moving from barrier 11 to 5, which should help over 1400m. Last time at Kocaeli over 1400m on 15 Sep finished 12th of 14 on a Good track. Faces Heavy ground this time, a different test. With the softer draw and a change in conditions, Refiye can look to improve.

First starter for F. Arici with D. Budak booked, debuting at 1400m on heavy ground at Kocaeli. Pedigree by Bılgekurt out of Nalayaz offers some substance for a testing surface. With no exposed form, market and parade will guide, but the setup is straightforward enough for a debut.
