Bursa Race 5 - Race 5
KAPTAN İRFAN (7) appeals most off a solid 3rd at 1200m and should strip fitter up to 1400m. BILGETUNA (3) is a threat after finishing 5th of 13 at this track and trip last start and holds a fitness edge fourth up. TURNA ŞAH (12) has been midfield at 1400m twice here and can settle closer from barrier 4. SERT KOŞU (11) brings the most consistent recent figures with a 4th of 14 and earlier 3rd at 1500m, and must be included. Lean KAPTAN İRFAN (7) narrowly.

Second up for Aslan Aras after finishing 9th of 11 over 1300m at Bursa on 17 Aug on good ground. Steps to 1400m at the same track, which could suit better. K. Yilmaz sticks, and a fitter run can see improvement.

Second up after a sole run this prep. Last start at Bursa over 1200m on 2 Oct he finished 7th of 7. Steps to 1400m and stays with R. Ketme for O. Demir. Low-key profile but the extra trip could help.

Fourth up and returns to 1400m at Bursa, the scene of a 5th of 13 here on 23 Oct. That run provides a solid platform and the set-up looks familiar with E. Akpinar booked again. Keeps ticking over and profiles as a steady prospect in this line-up.

Third up and draws much better, moving from barrier 13 to 2. Last start at Bursa over 1400m on 23 Oct was 9th of 13, so the softer gate can help him settle into a handier rhythm. With O. Gökçe up and a more favourable map from the inside, Gölge Adam has scope to improve at this trip.

Second up after an 11th of 13 over 1400m at Bursa on 23 Oct. Stays at 1400m and remains at Bursa, with H. Turan riding for K. Turan. Draws into a 12-runner field and can strip fitter for the recent outing. A cleaner jump and race fitness give scope to improve.

Draws better here with barrier 3 after coming from gate 6 last start. Most recent run was 8th of 13 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 20 Oct. Stays in the same grade and steps to 1400m at Bursa, which gives C. Altun and K. Şengel a chance to find a smoother run from the draw.

Third up and sticks to 1400m after finishing 9th of 13 over this trip at Bursa on 23 Oct. Y.E. Yüksel stays on, and the familiar set-up could help find improvement. Fair hope to progress with another run under the belt.

Closed 4th of 14 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 20 Oct and stretches to 1400m here, which could suit the profile. Stays in the same grade and sticks with A. Yildiz for N. Kaya. With that competitive last run as a base, Sert Koşu looks a solid chance to hold his form.

Fourth up and sticking to 1400m at Bursa, with a better draw moving from barrier 7 to 4 since last start. Recent runs at this track and trip read 7th of 12 on 22 Oct and 7th of 13 on 5 Oct. Stays in the same grade and can look for incremental improvement from the softer gate under D. Budak.
