Third-up and back 100m to 1200m after finishing 5th of 10 in a 2Y MDN at Istanbul over 1300m 13 days ago (57kg), beaten by Side Glory. Prior run was 5th of 8 in a 2Y COND 1 at the track over 1200m (GOOD), also with 57kg, behind Kartal. Solid foundation for this prep and the drop back to 1200m looks a reasonable set-up.

Second-up after a 12-day turnaround, having finished 6th of 7 at Istanbul over 1300m (TB) on good going when drawn the inside gate. Maps to get a soft run from barrier 2 again with 57kg, and natural improvement second-up gives scope.

Debuted at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, finishing 2nd of 8 under 57kg on good going behind Kartal. Stays at the same trip second-up, draws a touch better from barrier 6, and keeps Gökhan Kocakaya. Solid foundation run suggests he can hold form.

Third-up after finishing 8th of 10 at Istanbul over 1300m (2Y MDN) 13 days ago, with Side Glory winning. Drops 100m and shifts from barrier 10 to 9, and reunites with trainer Mur.akkiliç under 57kg. Needs to lift on exposed form but the slight setup tweaks could help.

Second-up after a 62-day break, this 2YO placed 3rd on debut at Diyarbakir over 1200m from barrier 8. That run came in a 12-runner field, and he drew a similar gate again, with the distance and setup holding steady. With a 1200m record of (1:0-0-1), he has a base to build on here.

Consistent at Istanbul with two 2nds from two runs, including a 1200m 2YF MDN on 5 Aug when runner-up to Anshba Sky. Comes back 100m after a 2nd over 1300m here 16 days ago behind Asil Kraliçe, and reunites with Ayhan Kurşun who was aboard last time. Draws barrier 7 and carries 57kg; honest profiles to be competitive again.

Second-up from a debut 5th of 8 at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y FILLIES COND, carrying 57kg from barrier 4. Drops 2kg to 55kg, draws the inside gate, and comes back 100m which could help her settle and finish off. With that experience under the belt, a tidy step forward is within reach.
