Latest run was 3rd over 1200m at Ankara on 17 Sep (TB) carrying 59kg on soft behind Doğan Aslanim, and earlier posted back-to-back 2nds at 1200m and 1400m.

Second-up after a sole run 12 days ago at Ankara, where the runner finished 7th of 7 over 1400m in TB class from barrier 4. Draws barrier 4 again and drops 100m, with İ.akin taking over, so a more settled performance is possible at this trip.

First starter from the N.esen yard, drawn barrier 8 with V.abiş booked. By Kuzey Kafkasyali out of Kontesim, the setup suggests a straightforward debut assignment. Keep safe on debut with the stable-jockey combination in place.

Fourth-up and on a 14-day turnaround, the runner drops back 300m after finishing 7th of 9 over 1200m at Ankara on 1 Oct (TB, SOFT, 53kg), behind Pasadena. Prior runs at 1400m here resulted in 8th of 8 on 10 Sep (GOOD, 54kg) and 8th of 8 on 22 Aug (GOOD, 57kg) for another stable. Needs to lift, but the distance drop and lighter recent imposts offer a small platform for improvement.

Third-up and back to 1200m after a 1400m run 19 days ago, she draws barrier 5 following a slightly wider gate last time. Has raced exclusively at Ankara with three runs this season, including a 9th in a 2YF COND over 1200m and a 7th in a 2Y MDN FILLIES at 1400m on good ground. Needs to lift but the drop back in trip and softer draw could help her settle and finish closer.

Second-up after debuting 19 days ago at Ankara over 1200m from barrier 2, finishing 7th of 12 in TB company. Steps up 300m in trip here and again draws well in gate 2, which could help him settle and build on that initial experience.
