Made a promising debut at Istanbul 10 days ago in a 3Y COND1 over 1200m on good going, finishing 2nd from barrier 6 carrying 57kg behind Sarayburnu. Second-up today with a slight distance rise of 100m and a marginally better barrier, and retains the same weight. Profiles to build on that solid first-up effort.

Comes off a 2nd at Kocaeli over 1200m on 27 Aug (AR) from barrier 15, carrying 53kg on good ground, and now draws barrier 5 with 57kg after a 13‑day turnaround. Prior Istanbul runs include 5th over 1500m on 16 Aug and 5th over 1200m on 7 Aug, both on good. Honest recent efforts and the better gate offer a tidy platform to hold a forward position.

Solid recent platform at Kocaeli with back-to-back 3rds over 1400m and 1500m on good ground before a 6th of 14 over 1200m 13 days ago. Drops 4kg to 53kg and returns to Istanbul, where previous efforts include a 7th over 1300m in 3Y COND, and draws barrier 11 again. Honest enough this prep and the weight relief can help him give a competitive account.

Resumes first-up with 57kg from barrier 2 and reunites with Müslüm Çelik, who rode when 5th of 12 over 1300m at Istanbul on 12 Jun. Consistent last prep with three straight 5th placings at Istanbul (1000m–1300m), including on Good, and has experience at today’s track and trip. Draw helps and a similar effort would see him competitive again.

Consistent at the trip with a (Istanbul, 1300) record of (2:0-1-0), and arrives off a 2nd over 1300m here 14 days ago in AR grade with Nevzat Avci. The jockey combination has been productive (3:0-2-1), and he draws barrier 6 after running from 5 last time while rising to 60kg. Solid claims to be in the finish again on good ground where he’s placed five times.

Placed 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y FILLIES COND on 19 Jul (57kg, GOOD), and has since contested 1500m and 1600m races without featuring. Drops 300m back to 1300m and draws much better in barrier 3 from gate 10 last start, which could help settle closer. Fourth-up with Istanbul and good-ground placings on the page, she has a set-up to rebound.

Draws barrier 1 fourth‑up after midfield efforts at Kocaeli over 1200m (6th of 14) and 1400m (7th of 14) on good ground. Drops to 55kg today after carrying 51–57kg this prep and comes back slightly in trip, which could help her settle closer. A soft draw and minor distance tweak give her a chance to build on recent runs.
