On a short turnaround after finishing 4th of 11 at Kocaeli on 2 Jul over 2000m in a 3UP COND on good ground, behind Felix Perla with Secret Lav second, carrying 57.5kg. Draw improves to barrier 5 and switches to B.baguç, having been 5th of 7 at the same trip on 4 Jun under 58.5kg. With a substantial 2000m résumé (26:1-2-3), looks set for another honest showing.

Back on a short turnaround after finishing 9th of 11 at Kocaeli on 2 Jul over 2000m in 3UP COND carrying 56kg, behind Felix Perla, and now draws barrier 4 after barrier 8 last time while staying at the trip. His 2000m record reads (10:2-2-0) and he’s (Istanbul, 2000) (7:1-2-0), so a kinder gate can help him hold a spot and improve.

Produced a solid 4th at Istanbul over 2100m on 19 Jun carrying 62kg in 3Y grade behind Start Up. At 2000m he’s (12:1-2-2), although he’s yet to place at this track (9:0-0-0) and is (16:0-1-1) this season. A repeat of his latest effort would see him competitive for minor money.

Finished 2nd at Istanbul over 2100m on 19 Jun in a 3Y race behind Start Up, carrying 60.5kg in an 11-runner field. Returns to 2000m at a track where he’s (17:2-4-3), and draws barrier 3 with a positive low-barrier record from 1-3 (8:2-2-2). Recent improvement and a favourable gate give him a competitive look.

Arrives off a last-start Istanbul 2200m win on 20 May, defeating Touch The Cloud while carrying 52kg on a Good track. Drops 200m and draws barrier 2 (improved from 7), with inside alleys (1–3) reading 8:1-2-0 and an Istanbul record of 2:1-0-0. Yet to win at 2000m (4:0-1-1), but the soft draw and recent winning form give him a practical setup.

Scored at Istanbul on 24 Jun over 2100m (3UP F&M HCP) from barrier 9, defeating Sarilar Kizi under 54.5kg. Draws the inside gate now and owns a solid local profile (Istanbul 13:1-4-0) with a placing from three at 2000m here, suggesting she can run well again.
