Third-up after 12 days, with two Istanbul 1000m runs for 8th then 11th on GOOD3 last start. Drops 33kg to 24 and draws barrier 2, with a 200m rise in trip. Trainer H. Sunkar now legs up E. Çizik after two rides by Müslüm Çelik. Needs to lift but can improve with the lighter weight and soft draw; place claims.
