Izmir Race 2

Race 2

Stake: -

GERARD (5) brings the strongest recent figures, winning over 2200m at Izmir 5 days ago and earlier placing over 1600m; he’s a 2-time winner at 2100m and draws barrier 2. BALKI TAY (4) is in form with a last-start win at Kocaeli over 1900m and was 3rd at Ankara over 2000m prior; inside draw suits and he has multiple 2100m placings. ÇAĞDAŞ ALAÇAT (1) is on a short turnaround and returns to a suitable trip with a 3-from-12 record at 2100m plus solid Izmir stats. ESKI TOPRAK (8) resumes after 48 days, draws barrier 1, and his Izmir 1900m 4th two starts back reads well stepping to 2100m.

Comments

Seasoned Izmir performer with a strong local record (CurrentTrack 62:11-13-9) and solid at the trip (2100m 12:3-2-2), returning to a track/distance he handles. On a short turnaround (5 days) after a 7th over 2200m, he now drops 100m and draws barrier 4, a gate range that’s yielded 5 wins from 26. Reliable course specialist who can settle into the run and give a competitive account.

Comments

Season has been quiet and his Izmir record (46:2-4-3) is modest, but he does have a minor placing at this 2100m track-distance from three tries. Comes off midfield efforts at 1600m and 1900m and now steps up 500m from a kinder barrier 7; a steady showing is possible if the trip sparks him.

Proven at Izmir with a (26:2-2-1) track record and a handy barrier 6 today. Latest local run was 5th of 11 over 1900m here on 4 Sep in AR class, and he now steps up 200m to 2100m where he has placed once from four. Rider R.ketme reunites, and his overall partnership strike-rate (21:4-2-1) is a positive sign for a competitive showing.

Comments

Comes here nine days after a Kocaeli 1900m win in 4UP COND4 carrying 57kg from barrier 2, backing up solid recent form that also includes a 3rd at Ankara over 2000m on soft. Steps up 200m to 2100m where his record shows consistency (11:0-1-5) and draws well in barrier 3 at a track he handles (Izmir record 12:1-6-3). With the in-form prep this season (5:1-1-1), he profiles as a genuine chance to hold his form at the trip.

Comments

Comes here on a short turnaround after winning at Izmir over 2200m on 17 Oct (AR), and he’s well proven at this track and trip with a strong (CurrentTrack, 2100) record (3:2-0-0). Barrier 2 suits given his favourable low-draw stats (1–3: 6:2-1-0), and he reunites with Gökhan Gökçe, with whom he’s 1:1-0-0. Solid claims to hold form back at 2100m.

Comments

Holds a solid 2100m record (9:1-2-2) and has placed at the track/trip before (4:0-1-1). Latest three runs at Izmir were 10th over 1900m (AR, 60kg) and 10th over 1600m (4UP COND 4, 60kg) after a more encouraging 4th over 2000m (AR, 56kg) behind Free Blood. Back up to a more suitable trip and drawn 8, a competitive showing is within reach if he can reproduce that early-September effort.

On a short turnaround after finishing 9th of 11 over 2200m at Izmir on 17 Oct in AR grade, and now drops 100m with a better barrier (5). Proven at the track and trip with a (CurrentTrack, 2100) record of 7:1-1-1 and an overall 2100m mark of 13:2-2-2. Season form is lean, but the setup and gate offer a chance to improve.

Draws barrier 1 and stretches to 2100m, a trip where he’s 1:1-0-0 from 15 attempts overall, with a useful inside-barrier record (17:1-1-2 from gates 1-3). Latest was a solid 4th at Izmir over 1900m in AR class from barrier 11 with 57kg, and he returns to jockey C.paso who rode him into 5th at Kocaeli two back. From the draw he gets the right run to be competitive at this distance.
