Ankara Race 8 - Race 8
MAXIMAND (6) is the leading chance after finishing 3rd in a 13-runner 2000m race at Ankara on 25 July, and his track-distance record includes one 3rd from one start. He is on a short turnaround after 4th over 1200m at Ankara on 15 August and draws barrier 1. IRON TEMPEST (5) has sound staying form, including 4th over 2000m at Izmir on 25 July and 3rd over 1800m at Kocaeli on 14 July, while barrier 4 is a significant improvement on his previous barrier 16. EARTHQUAKE (1) has three consecutive Ankara runs in the placings range from 4th to 6th, but his Ankara record is eight starts without a win. MY ROSECEM (9) resumes after eight months and is worth consideration off a 2nd at Adana over 1400m in November.

Earthquake has finished 6th of 11 over 1400m at Ankara on 25 July, following 5th over 2100m and 4th over 1400m at the track in earlier July runs. The Ankara record is 8:0-0-1, while the barrier range 7-10 has produced one second from six starts, so a breakthrough remains necessary.

Aksi Tay was 7th of 10 in a 1200m 3Y MDN at Ankara on 15 August, returning after 9 days, and has yet to place in five starts this preparation. The Ankara record is 1:0-0-0 and the barrier record is 4:0-0-0, so improvement is required for a competitive showing.

Now fourth-up and on a short turnaround after six days, Chico Loco was 8th of 13 at Kocaeli over 1500m on 18 August on a Good track, with Sellygirl winning. A 3rd over 1800m earlier in the preparation offers encouragement, while barrier 5 is an improvement from his latest start; he needs to lift on that recent effort to feature.

Iron Tempest has mixed recent form over 2000m, finishing 4th at Izmir on 25 July before placing 10th in an 18-runner 3Y MDN at Bursa on 10 August. The barrier improves sharply from 16 to 4, but his 2000m record remains winless from two starts, leaving him needing to show more for a stronger prospects assessment.

Mori Paşa finished 9th of 12 over 1200m at Ankara on 15 August in a 3Y MDN event, following a 6th of 13 over 2000m there on 25 July under 54kg. He is still seeking a first placing from five Ankara starts and has limited winning credentials on the available record, so improvement is required.

Resumes after 253 days, with a first-up prep record of 1:0-0-0, but arrives off a 2nd of 12 at Adana over 1400m behind Vaşak Kiz and a 4th of 13 at the same track and distance. Barrier 2 is slightly better than the previous start from barrier 3, and the recent placing form gives My Rosecem a measured chance on return.
