Ultra-consistent this prep, runner-up at Istanbul over 1500m on 16 Aug and 1300m on 2 Aug on good going, both with Akin Sözen aboard. Drops 200m and rises to 59kg but draws barrier 1 again; third-up and holding form suggests another bold showing is within reach.

Third-up and back 300m after a 9th of 12 over 1600m at Istanbul 12 days ago. Earlier this prep ran 3rd of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on good going with 57kg, and returns to that trip from barrier 8 with the same rider. Proven to handle this track/trip and can be competitive at this stage of the prep.

Second-up after a 15th of 15 at Istanbul over 1200m on 7 Aug, drawn 11 and carrying 57kg behind Arabian Nights. Drops 4kg to 53kg, nudges up 100m, and comes in two barriers to 9, which should aid improvement. Needs to lift on exposed Istanbul figures (0:0-0-0 this track) but the lighter weight offers some hope.

Promising debut at Istanbul over 1200m in 3Y COND1, finishing 2nd (57kg) to Hizli Yasin on Good going from barrier 8. Second-up here from an improved draw in 2, up 100m, and retains B. Akçay who has already partnered for that placing; well set to progress.

Best recent effort was 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 3Y COND, drawn 6 and carrying 57kg on good going. Comes here 13 days between runs, drops to 54kg and draws barrier 4, with a track/distance placing on the board. That setup gives him a chance to find a similar level.

Second-up after a sole run this season when 9th of 10 over 1300m at Ankara on 4 Aug, carrying 57kg on Good and drawn low. Meets a similar trip again from barrier 6 with M.n.sunkar aboard; looking for natural improvement at the distance.

Struggled in five Istanbul runs this prep without placing, including 11th of 15 over 1300m here on 26 Aug (AR, 53kg) after drawing the outside barrier 15. Carries 57kg again and moves from a wide alley last time to barrier 10, with the same trainer-jockey partnership yet to hit the frame (0:0-0-0). Needs a clear lift to feature.

Fourth-up and returns to Istanbul where she posted a 3rd of 13 over 1200m in a 3Y FILLIES COND on 19 Jul, carrying 57kg from barrier 10. Since then she’s been below that level at Kocaeli (9th/10) and Bursa (15th/15) over 1200m, but she draws better here from barrier 7 with 55kg and has a Istanbul placing on the board. Holds a place chance if she can reproduce her July effort.

Second up after a 12th of 13 over 1300m at Istanbul on 26 Aug (AR) from barrier 12 carrying 55kg, and drops to 52kg with a better draw in 5. Prior Istanbul runs include 8th/12 over 1200m (good) and 11th/13 over 1000m, so she’s looking to improve with the weight relief and softer gate.

Drops 300m after finishing 12th of 12 over 1600m at Istanbul 12 days ago and comes down 2kg to 53kg from barrier 3. Prior runs included 9th of 14 at Kocaeli over 1400m (GOOD) from the outside alley, and 9th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul. Back to the shortest trip with a softer draw, she looks to be searching for improvement at this stage of the prep.
