Ankara Race 1 - Race 1
DIABLO MORENO (2) appeals second-up after a 2nd at Ankara over 1200m on 1 Sep (TB, barrier 8, 57kg), and should be suited again. TIMEWARDEN (4) also comes off a 2nd in the same 1200m TB race on 1 Sep (barrier 2, 57kg) and draws well in 3. STAR OF HANDEL (1) is third-up and has two Ankara seconds this prep, including 2nd over 1200m on 28 Jul, and drops back 200m after a 1400m 2nd on 18 Aug. DRAGON IS FATHER (6) was 3rd at Ankara over 1400m on 22 Aug (57kg) and steps back 200m from barrier 2, which could help.

Consistent at Ankara with back-to-back 2nds, including over this track and trip on 28 Jul (1200m, GOOD) behind Blessed Storm carrying 57kg. Third-up today, drops back 200m after a close 2nd over 1400m on 18 Aug to O Bir Vahşi, and draws barrier 4 again. Profiles as a solid chance to hold form at 1200m.

Debuted at Ankara over 1200m in TB class, finishing 2nd of 7 from barrier 8 under 57kg behind Saratoga Springs. Returns second-up after 14 days with identical track and trip, and keeps a middle draw. Solid debut sets a sound platform to progress.

Improved sharply second-up when 2nd at Ankara over 1400m on 18 Aug, with Ayhan Kurşun aboard, and now comes back 200m. Ankara record reads (2:0-1-0) and he’s third-up with the same jockey-trainer combo that produced that placing. With barrier 6 again, a repeat of last start’s effort would see him competitive.

Debuted 14 days ago at Ankara over 1200m and ran 2nd of 7 in TB class from barrier 2, carrying 57kg, finishing behind Emanet. Second-up today from barrier 3 with the same jockey-trainer pairing, holding solid track and trip stats (1:0-1-0) that point to a similar showing.

Third-up after two Ankara runs, including a 6th of 6 over 1400m on 18 Aug (GOOD) and a 5th of 8 over 1200m on 28 Jul (GOOD), both carrying 57kg. Drops back 200m to 1200m and draws barrier 7 after barrier 5 last time; returns to a trip where it has already raced once this prep. With experience at course and distance, a cleaner break could see improvement.

Promising debut when 3rd of 8 at Ankara over 1400m (TB) on 22 Aug, second up today after racing handy from barrier 5 under 57kg behind Hegemonya and Giant Wave. Draws better in barrier 2 and drops 200m, which could suit at this stage of the prep. Respectable prospects building off that first run.

Returns first up after 115 days, having had one Ankara run as a 2YO in May over 1100m on soft. Draws barrier 9 this time (out from 6) and steps slightly to 1200m; R.kurt takes over for Ke.yilmaz. Respect any improvement with the experience and extra trip.

Second-up after a debut 7th of 8 at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, carrying 57kg from barrier 2. Draws the inside gate this time, which could aid his positioning, with V. Abiş taking over.

Second-up after debuting at Ankara over 1200m, finishing 7th of 7 from barrier 7 in a TB race 14 days ago. Moves to barrier 5 and stays at 1200m under 57kg; experience and a softer draw can aid improvement.
