Debuted 19 days ago at Istanbul and scored over 1300m from barrier 9, defeating Canbulut, and now draws better in 4. Second-up today with a slight drop to 1200m and a new rider aboard, which should give a handy run style options. Progressive profile suggests another forward showing.

Draws well in barrier 2 and drops back 200m, which aligns with a 1200m record of (3:1-0-0). Recent Istanbul runs include a 2nd in a 3Y OPEN over 1400m on 24 Jul and a tough wide-gate 16th of 17 over 1600m on 2 Aug. Set-up looks more suitable here, and the track record of (8:0-1-3) suggests he can be competitive.

Proven at 1200m with a (3:1-0-2) record and unbeaten at the Istanbul 1200 (1:1-0-0), he returns in distance after a 3rd over 1400m at Istanbul 12 days ago in a 3Y HCP. The barrier improves to 6 and he carries 55.5kg last time versus 59kg when 3rd at Bursa 1200m, suggesting today’s setup suits. Solid claims back to his optimal trip.

Consistent at Ankara with a win over 1400m on 16 Jul and a 2nd in a 1300m 3Y MDN prior, and draws barrier 1 again. On a short turnaround after a 4th of 6 in a 1300m 3Y COND at Ankara on 13 Aug (57kg) behind Yükenoğlu, and now drops 100m. Genuine claims to be around the finish from the inside draw.
