Ankara Race 2 - Race 2

NART THE BATTLE (1) maps well from barrier 1 and brings strong 2200m/Ankara credentials (2: 1-1), including a 1st here over 2200m on 23 Jun (3Y HCP, 59kg) and a recent Istanbul 1900m 2nd; runner-up finishes also show a good association with V.ABİŞ. TERCAL NİHAT (2) is on a short turnaround off a 2400m Ankara 2nd on 28 Jul and previously won here at 2200m on 30 Jun; draws 2. GOLDEN BEE (3) is consistent at Ankara with recent 1900m 2nd and 3rd and now rises 300m. TESCIL (4) has a 2200m Istanbul 2nd on 27 May and E.ÇİZİK reunites after earlier placings.

Proven at Ankara 2200m (2:1-1) and drawn barrier 1, he returns 20 days after a 4th over 2100m at Istanbul. His June Ankara win over 2200m in 3Y HCP with 59kg reads well, and he reunites with Vedat Abi̇ş who was aboard for an Istanbul 2000m 2nd in April. Solid credentials at the track and trip make him a leading hope.

Proven at Ankara 2200m (3:1-1-0) and comes off a narrow 2nd over 2400m here nine days ago with M. Akyavuz, who has a strong record aboard (4:1-2-0). Draws barrier 2 after box 1 last time and returns to a trip he won over on 30 Jun (3Y CLM), beating Steel Rock.

Proven at Ankara (6:1-2-2) and holds strong recent form, including a 2nd over 1900m in a 3Y HCP here 14 days ago from barrier 8, and a prior 3rd in a 3UP HCP over the same trip. Won a 1600m 3Y MDN here three starts back and now drops 300m with a slightly better barrier. Consistent profile suggests another honest showing back to the mile.

Returns to a longer trip after a sharp 1000m rise from 1200m, having run 2nd over 2200m at Istanbul on 27 May (55.5kg) behind Kadiköy Boğası. Barrier 5 suits and the rider has previously partnered the horse into a placing, while the 1900m Adana win in April adds depth to the profile. With 30 days between runs, the set-up back to staying ground looks suitable.

Fourth-up and back to Ankara, he improved to 3rd over 1600m on 11 Jul (3UP HCP, 56.5kg) from barrier 10, finishing behind Seigreich and Schatz. Draws barrier 3 this time, an alley where he’s 1-from-2, and he owns a solid track record at Ankara (4:1-0-1). Well placed to hold his form from a better gate.

Consistent this prep with four straight 4th-place finishes at Ankara (1400m–1900m) in 3Y MDN company carrying 58kg, including behind winners Lady Begüm, Arno Rabel, Golden Bee, and Eiko. Comes here off a 40-day break and rises 300m, drawing barrier 4 again which suited when 4th over 1900m last time. Honest profile suggests he can be around the mark.
