Comes back to 1400m after a 1200m run 10 days ago at Bursa when 4th of 6 in 2Y COND 8 from barrier 6. Earlier Bursa form includes a 1300m win and a 2nd in 2Y COND on good ground, suggesting he handles these conditions. Drawn 6 again and stays on the same preparation with Er.cankiliç aboard for K.turan, he has claims to be competitive at this trip.

Fourth-up and drawn barrier 4, the runner brings a recent Istanbul win over 1300m in a 2Y COND, carrying 55kg on GOOD, before two 4th-place efforts at 1400m. Last start she was 4th of 6 in a 2YF COND on SOFT at Istanbul (55kg), and a return to a kinder setup could see her hold a spot from the gate. Steady profile this prep suggests she can be competitive again.

Progressive third-up filly with a 2:1-1 prep, having won the 1400m TB at Istanbul (13 runners) on 13 Sep from barrier 2, beating Costa Adeje. She was a close 2nd on debut over 1300m in a 2Y FILLIES COND at Istanbul on 21 Aug with 57kg, and now draws barrier 8 after a 29-day break. Solid profile at track and trip, and the jockey-trainer combo is 2:1-1 this season.

Runner-up over this track and 1400m two starts ago behind Touch Of Glory, then finished 5th of 10 at Istanbul over 1500m 12 days ago. Back to 1400m from barrier 3 looks a suitable setup, and her track record (6:1-1-0) gives her a fair platform to hold her form.

Third-up after an 18-day freshen, the runner scored on debut at Ankara over 1300m (2YF COND) carrying 57kg before finishing 4th of 5 over 1200m in TB class next start. Steps back up 200m and draws barrier 7 after barrier 4 last time, with E.Çankaya taking over from Salih Çelik. Solid early profile this season (2:1-0-0) suggests scope to bounce back at the trip.

Comes off a maiden win at Istanbul over 1200m on 7 Oct, scoring from barrier 9 in a 10-runner 2Y FILLIES MDN with 57kg, five days ago, and now draws barrier 2 on a short turnaround. Prior to that she was 3rd at Ankara over 1200m in a 12-runner TB, and her season reads 4:1-0-1 with a perfect 1:1 record at this track. The quick backup and favourable gate give her a solid platform to hold form.

Comes into this fourth-up off a 1400m Istanbul TB win (12 runners) on 13 Sep under 57kg, with Akin Sözen aboard and Gravitas the runner-up. Prior to that he was 3rd in an 11-runner 1200m 2YF MDN at Istanbul, and he’s 1-from-1 at the track/distance with the same rider. Draws barrier 5 and his track (3:1-0-1) and season (2:1-0-1) stats keep him in the mix.

Comes off a short 5‑day turnaround after finishing 7th of 7 in a 1300m 2Y OPEN at Istanbul on 7 Oct, and now drops 100m. Draws the inside after barrier 6 last time, which could help this fourth‑up runner settle closer. Needs to lift on exposed figures at the track (3:0-0-0), but the low draw offers a more economical run.
