EFE KAPTAN (1) is consistent this prep and was 2nd in an 11-runner 1300m 3Y MDN at Istanbul 16 days ago under 57kg; maps well from barrier 4. ARZUELA (9) is on a short turnaround after a 3rd in a 1200m 3Y COND here 9 days ago and gets the inside draw. BATAGAY (3) is fourth-up and comes off a solid 3rd in a 1300m 3Y MDN at Istanbul 16 days ago from barrier 2.

Brings solid recent form with back-to-back 2nds, latest at Istanbul on 9 Sep over 1300m in a 3Y MDN carrying 57kg under Akin Sözen. Returns to Istanbul with the same rider engaged and draws barrier 4 (improved from 5), stepping slightly to 1400m where he’s had one prior run. Consistent of late and well placed to be competitive again.

First-up after 4 months with a 300m rise in trip, returning to Istanbul where the runner is yet to place from 3 attempts. His last three runs there were 7th/8, 8th/9, and 6th/6 over 1000-1100m, and he again draws wide in barrier 11. Needs to lift on exposed local record, but the extra distance offers a new look.

Fourth-up and coming off a much-improved 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 3Y MDN, drawn soft that day and now out to barrier 9. The slight distance rise to 1400m and a new rider engaged present a different setup; capable of building on that recent run with a clean trip.

Found the line a bit better 5th of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on 9 Sep in a 3Y MDN (57kg), backing up on a 16‑day break. Draws barrier 6 again and steps up 100m, with A Aslan sticking; looking to build on that latest effort at a track where the runner is yet to place.

Third-up and draws barrier 3 after a wide gate last time, which should aid his settling. His two runs this season at Istanbul in 3Y MDN company have been well back (15th of 15 over 1200m, then 10th of 10 over 1300m), but he did carry 53kg most recently and now makes a slight step to 1400m. Needs to lift on exposed track record (Istanbul 3:0-0-0), though the kinder draw offers some improvement potential.

Best recent effort was 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m in an AR on 26 Aug, carrying 54kg from barrier 6 behind Ayyildizlar Beyi and Çildutay. Since then he’s finished 10th at both Bursa (1500m, 3Y MDN) and Kocaeli (1400m, AR), but draws better here in gate 5 after a wide run last time. Mixed prep overall, yet his Istanbul record includes that placing and the draw gives him a chance to settle handier.

Second-up after a solid 3rd at Bursa over 1300m in a 3Y COND (11 runners) when carrying 57kg from barrier 4, finishing behind Paşam Ömer and Bodrum Rüzgari. Steps to 1400m and draws wider in 12, so he’ll need to offset the gate but has a platform to build from.

On a short turnaround after a solid 3rd at Ankara over 1400m (AR) six days ago with Gökhan Kocakaya, adding to a consistent recent profile that includes a 2nd at Istanbul on 26 Aug (AR, 1300m). Draws better here from barrier 2 and owns a handy Istanbul 1400m record (1:0-0-1), suggesting a similar stalking run can see him competitive again.

Second-up after a solid debut at Istanbul, finishing 3rd of 10 over 1200m in a 3Y COND, beaten narrowly by Piraye Sultan and Balkizim. Draws the inside gate this time and steps to 1400m, which could suit given that first run. With the same jockey-trainer combination and a short 9-day turnaround, he looks ready to build on that promising start.

On the quick back-up after 10 days, the runner draws barrier 8 following a wide gate last time at Kocaeli over 1400m. Recent 1400m runs read 8th of 14 at Kocaeli (AR) from barrier 13 and 7th of 7 at Bursa (3Y OPEN), while both Istanbul efforts at 1200m were down the field. Needs to find improvement at this trip, though the kinder draw offers a more economical run.

Second-up after a solid 5th of 10 at Istanbul over 1200m (3Y COND, 57kg) nine days ago, drawn the fence and finishing behind Piraye Sultan. Steps up 200m and shifts from barrier 1 to 7, with A.kurşun taking over from Akin Sözen. Short turnaround and a slight distance rise could suit if she builds on that debut effort.
