Limited exposed form supplied, so lean to the inside draws: EYMEN EFE (3) maps to use barrier 1 and should get the right run at 1200m, with HIZLI YASIN (4) also well served from barrier 2. DELI MERCAN (1) draws soft in 3 and gets a neat run, while ŞAFAKBERK (8) has a senior rider engaged and a midfield gate that can keep him in touch.
