Returns to Istanbul 1200m where he’s 1/2 at the track/distance and 1/3 on good ground, with a strong partnership (2:1-0-1) with Vedat Abi̇ş back aboard. Won over this trip at Istanbul on 3 Jun before a solid 3rd over 1400m on 19 Jun, and now drops 2kg to 55kg from a softer barrier 5. Well set up to bounce back after two tougher runs away/from wider draws.
