Arrives fourth-up and has twice finished 2nd this prep, including at Ankara over 1200m and at Izmir over 1400m on Good. On a 13-day turnaround and drops 100m in trip from the latest Ankara run; draws barrier 11 with A. Çelik taking over. Consistent juvenile who has been around the mark and should be competitive again under 57kg if replicating those recent efforts.

Four runs into the prep and has finished 5th at Istanbul in all three starts, including over 1300m from barrier 5 behind Whitewalkers on 22 Jul. Draws barrier 4 today, a slight improvement, and stays at a track where the record shows experience but no placings yet, so a steady showing looks within reach.

Third-up after 80 days, returning from two 1100m Istanbul runs where he finished 5th of 5 on 12 Jun and 5th of 6 on 5 Jun (GOOD). Steps to 1300m today with a slight barrier improvement to 2 and a rider change to M.m.bi̇lgi̇n; looking for progression with added trip and experience.

Debuted 17 days ago at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y COND and boxed on for 3rd of 11 behind Ada Efsanesi, sharing the same track and trip as today. Stays at 1300m second-up and maps well from barrier 1 under 57kg. Genuine chance to build on that solid starting platform.

Second-up after debuting at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, finishing 7th of 7 from barrier 7 under 57kg. On a short turnaround (8 days) and draws wider in barrier 10 with B.bülbül taking over; slight rise in trip looks the key change. Likely to improve with the experience but needs to lift.

Debuted 10 days ago at Istanbul over 1300m in TB class and boxed on well for 3rd of 9 behind Touch Of Glory, from barrier 2 with 57kg on GOOD ground. Sticks to the same track and trip second-up and draws barrier 6 this time. With that experience under the belt, a forward showing is within reach.

On a short turnaround after finishing 12th of 12 over 1200m at Izmir on 23 Aug (2Y FILLIES COND 19), and now draws barrier 9 after jumping from 11 there. Earlier prep runs included a 2nd of 5 over 1100m on 20 Jun and a 3rd of 9 over 1200m on 7 Jun at the same track, so a return to that level would see her more competitive. Carries 60kg today with A. Yildiz aboard and steps up 100m, which she has handled previously.

Second-up after debuting 10 days ago at Istanbul over 1300m in a TB race, finishing 9th of 9 from barrier 10 under 57kg on Good ground. Draws better in barrier 7 today and remains at the same trip, which could help build on that initial experience.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, drawn well in barrier 5 after jumping from 3 last time. Sat behind the placegetters when 3rd of 8 behind Kartal and Torokav, carrying 55kg on GOOD going. Short turnaround of 8 days and up slightly in trip looks a reasonable progression.

Fourth-up and on a 19‑day turnaround after finishing 5th of 5 over 1300m at Istanbul in a 2Y FILLIES COND (54kg) on good ground, behind Art Of Victory and Shimmer. Track/distance numbers read 0-from-2 at 1300m at Istanbul, but the barrier improves to 8 from 6 last time. Needs to lift on exposed figures but the setup is a touch kinder today.
