Third at Kocaeli over 1100m in a 2Y MDN two runs back reads well, but he then finished 8th of 8 at Istanbul over 1300m nine days ago. Drops 200m and shifts from the inside draw to barrier 9, with Müs.çelik now aboard. Needs to lift on the short turnaround but earlier placings show some ability at the shorter trip.

Second-up after a debut 4th of 7 over 1200m at Istanbul, drawn the same barrier 5 and carrying 57kg. Steps up 300m in trip, and retains the stable with a rider change to B.akçay; with one run under the belt at the track, further improvement is plausible.

Third-up and draws barrier 1 after a much-improved 2nd at Istanbul over 1300m 16 days ago, finishing behind Whitewalkers. That followed a tough debut from barrier 10 over 1000m, and today he steps up 200m again. Inside draw and proven track form suggest he can hold a handy spot and run well.

Second-up on a short 7-day turnaround after a debut 7th of 10 over 1200m at Istanbul on GOOD going. Rises 300m in trip from a similar barrier and retains the same stable, with E.aktuğ taking over in the saddle. With that experience under the belt, improvement is possible.

Fourth-up and holding form with consecutive 4th-place efforts at Istanbul over 1400m and 1300m, most recently 4th of 10 behind Whitewalkers on FAST going. Drops 200m from the latest run and draws barrier 3 again, which suits given his prior 1400m effort from the same gate. Honest profile this prep suggests he can be competitive at the trip.

Fourth-up and back to Istanbul 1300m after a 6th of 10 over this trip on 22 Jul, drawn 9 and behind Whitewalkers and Eccelso. Prior run was a 3rd of 4 at 1200m on 10 Jul (GOOD) carrying 53kg, with Egoista winning. From barrier 8 with E. Çizik aboard, the setup looks workable for a competitive showing.

Resumes after 54 days and stretches 500m in trip, with the barrier improving from 12 to 7. Had one prior CurrentTrack run and was unplaced over 1000m at Istanbul on good going. The setup tweaks give scope to progress.

Second-up after debuting 7 days ago at Istanbul over 1200m, finishing 6th of 10 from barrier 3 on Good going. Draws barrier 2 here and rises 300m in trip; retains the same trainer-jockey combination. With that quick turnaround and slight gate improvement, can take a step forward.

Promising debut at Istanbul over 1200m when 2nd of 7, beaten 0L on GOOD going carrying 57kg from barrier 7 behind The Last Dragon. Second-up today with a 300m rise in trip and draws barrier 10; holds upside on that effort. Measured chance if he progresses with the extra distance.

Fourth-up and back to barrier 4, she returns to Istanbul nine days after finishing 6th of 8 over 1300m in a 2Y MDN. Prior to that she posted back-to-back 2nds at Istanbul over 1000m and 1200m on GOOD going, including chasing home Rock Of Beautiful in a 2Y COND FILLIES. Proven runner-up form at the track and a better draw suggest she can be competitive again.
