Izmir Race 8 - Race 8
DARK GLORY (1) rates on top third-up with a strong Izmir profile (1st at 1200m then 2nd over 1400m) and reunites with a jockey/trainer combo that’s 2:1-1; back to 1200m and up to 57kg from barrier 5 looks suitable. DÖNEN DEVRAN (2) is a key danger dropping back to 1200m after a 1400m Istanbul run and owns two Izmir 1200m seconds, now from barrier 3. SAYOKAN (4) was a debut 1200m Izmir winner 19 days ago and returns second-up down to 55kg from barrier 4. DREAM START (3) draws gate 2 and has 1200m Izmir seconds on the page, but resumes after 61 days and may need this.

Proven at Izmir and 1200m, winning here first-up on good going and now third-up back to that trip. Last start he was 2nd over 1400m at Izmir in a 2Y COND 5 from barrier 4, and today draws 5 with 57kg after carrying 55kg there. Solid local profile with the current jockey (2:1-1) suggests he can run well again at this setup.

Consistent at Izmir with a track record of (3:1-2-0) and twice runner-up at 1200m, including behind Anka Erçelik on 9 Aug carrying 60kg. Drops back 200m and returns to 57kg from a soft barrier 3 after a 14-day turnaround. Solid profile for this set-up.

Winner on debut over 1000m at Izmir on good going, then runner-up over 1200m before a 4th of 5 at the same trip. Returns fourth-up off a 61-day break, draws barrier 2 after wider gates last time, and drops to 55kg; proven at the track and well positioned to hold a forward spot.

Debut winner at Izmir over 1200m on good ground 19 days ago, scoring from the inside draw under 57kg with M.m.bilgin aboard. Stays at 1200m second-up, drops to 55kg, and draws barrier 4 with the same rider-trainer combination intact. Progressive profile and the set-up suits for another forward showing.

Debutant 2YO from Sey.demir draws barrier 1 and carries 53kg under N.avci. By Here To Fly out of Ancient Dream (by Midshipman), the setup suggests a soft run from the inside gate; market and parade may guide.
