Comments

Progressed through July with a 4th over 1400m at Ankara before a 6th of 11 there on 25 Jul, both on good ground, and now tackles a notable 600m drop in trip. Drawn barrier 9 (barrier stats 6:0-1-0 from 7-10) with 29 days between runs, and carries 55kg after handling as much as 61kg two back. Consistent Ankara exposure (8:0-0-1) suggests a measured chance if the sharper trip suits.

Comments

On a short turnaround after finishing 7th of 10 in a 3Y MDN over 1200m at Ankara eight days ago, drawn slightly better from barrier 6. Prior Elazig runs include 7th over 1200m and 12th over 1500m in similar grade, typically settling back in the field. Big 800m rise in trip is the key variable and leaves a measured hope for improvement.

Comments

Fourth-up and backing up on a 5-day turnaround, he was 8th of 13 over 1500m at Kocaeli on 18 Aug carrying 58kg. Notably, his best recent run was a 3rd of 11 over 1800m here on 14 Jul, and he now draws barrier 5 with a 500m step up in trip that may suit. Measured chance if he reproduces that 1800m effort.

Third-up and back markedly in trip with an 800m drop to 800m after 1200m and 1600m runs at Ankara. Last start he was 6th of 7 over 1200m at Ankara (GOOD) from barrier 3 under 54kg behind Goldman; prior effort was 16th of 16 in a 3Y MDN over 1600m (SOFT) with 58kg. Set-up suggests a sharper test today from barrier 8 could help him find improvement at this stage of the prep.

Solid 3rd at Kocaeli over 1800m three runs back, then 4th of 18 at Izmir over 2000m before a tougher 10th of 18 at Bursa in a 3Y MDN 13 days ago. Draws better today from barrier 4 after wide alleys (14 and 16) in the last two 2000m runs, which should help his setup at this trip where he’s had two runs. Competitive if he can reproduce the mid-prep form.

Back on a short 8-day turnaround and draws the inside after a solid 4th over 1200m at Ankara in 3Y MDN. Notably, posted a 3rd over this track and 2000m two starts prior, the only time tried at the trip, and today steps back up by 800m. From barrier 1 with 56kg, that proven track-distance effort gives him a genuine chance to run well.

Returns quickly on an 8-day turnaround after a 9th of 12 over 1200m at Ankara in 3Y MDN, and now stretches sharply by 800m back to 2000m. Has been unplaced in five runs at this track and is yet to figure at the trip, but draws barrier 7 again and reunites with the same rider. Needs to lift on exposed Ankara figures but the setup change could help.

Returns first up after 4 months with a 400m drop to 1200m and draws barrier 3. Debuted over 1600m at Istanbul on 19 Apr, finishing 9th of 9 from barrier 4 under 58kg on GOOD ground. The shorter trip and low draw give him a chance to show more at this stage of his prep.

First up after 8 months and draws barrier 2, a notable improvement from wider gates seen in late 2025. Closed that prep with a 2nd over 1400m at Adana before a 4th over the same trip, so the return setup looks suitable despite the sharp 600m distance change today.
