Ankara Race 8 - Race 8
FIRE OF VALERIA (5) draws barrier 1 and comes off a 2nd at Ankara over 1300m on 14/07, which followed a forgive run at 1200m; the inside draw should suit back to 1200m. YELLOW LION (3) is on a short turnaround after a 2nd at Ankara over 1300m on 21/07 and has been consistent this prep. COSE DELLA VITA (6) was 3rd at Ankara over 1300m on debut on 21/07 and looks suited second up with a better barrier (from 11 to 7). DELICIAS TURCAS (4) has multiple minor placings this season and was 3rd at Ankara over 1400m on 09/07, giving her a solid base for this trip.

Back to 1200m after a 5th of 5 over 1400m at Ankara five days ago, and his best effort this prep was a 3rd in a 2Y COND at Ankara over this trip on soft. Holds a (Ankara, 1200) record of (2:0-0-1) and draws barrier 9; solid enough platform to be competitive back to this distance.

Debutant by The Grey Gatsby out of Amalgame, drawn well in barrier 3 for trainer C.akgül. G.kocakaya takes the ride, and the set-up looks straightforward for a first run. Market and parade likely to guide expectations.

On a short turnaround after a 2nd of 4 at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y COND3, finishing behind Beautiful Light. Drops back 100m and draws barrier 8 after gate 2 last start; Ankara record reads (4:0-1-0) and the 1200m run here produced 4th of 7. Honest juvenile who has been around the mark and can give another competitive showing.

Returns to 1200m from a solid 3rd at Ankara over 1400m on 9 Jul in a 2Y MDN, and is on a short turnaround after finishing 6th at Bursa eight days ago. Consistent this season (7:0-1-3) with three minor placings, including 3rd and 4th in Ankara, and draws barrier 4 again. Honest type knocking on the door, with recent Ankara efforts suggesting she can be competitive at this trip.

Draws barrier 1 after a career-best 2nd at Ankara over 1300m 14 days ago, sticking on behind Queen Çinar with 57kg. Has a solid local profile (Ankara 6:0-1-1) and pairs again with Müslüm Çelik, who has a 2:0-1-0 record on the horse. Genuine chance to hold a forward spot from the inside draw and run well back to 1200m.

Debuted 7 days ago at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y COND1, finishing 3rd of 10 from barrier 11 under 55kg behind Little North and Eternal Wolf. Second-up now with a softer draw in barrier 7 and a slight drop to 1200m, which could help him settle handier. Holds scope to improve off that fresh placing.

Draws barrier 2 after racing wide from 10 when 4th of 7 in a 2Y MDN Fillies over 1300m at Ankara on 14 Jul, with Equal Gold winning. Drops 100m here and returns to 1200m, where prior runs included a 5th of 9 in a 2Y MDN at Ankara on 9 Jun behind Tom Raider. Honest without a win this season and the soft draw could help her hold a position and give a sight.

Placed 3rd of 4 at Kocaeli over 1100m on 23 Jun (51kg) behind Dragon Victory, but finished 7th of 7 back there over 1200m a week later in 2YF MDN. Returns after 28 days with barrier 5 and carries the same general 2YO profile, looking to recapture that prior placing. A measured chance if reproducing the Kocaeli 1100m effort.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Bursa over 1200m in a 2YF COND, racing on good ground from barrier 2 and carrying 57kg behind Wolf Women and Arcane Sovereign. Drawn wider today from barrier 6 after a 4-gate shift, and sticks to the same trip with 22 days between runs. Solid debut platform suggests scope to progress.
