Izmir Race 2 - Race 2
KALEMLI ŞAHI (8) gets the nod back to 1400m after a 2nd here over this trip and a soft draw, with two recent placings pointing to consistent figures. LADY BRIDGERTON (9) is a live chance off a 2nd over 1300m last start and can hold form stretching to 1400m despite a prior down-the-field run here. İCLAL HANIM (1) has been around the mark with two 4ths in her last three, including at 1400m, and maps to get a tidy run. DAĞARDI (5) is a rough hope after a close 4th at 1300m and a better barrier, though his overall record tempers confidence; slight leaning to KALEMLI ŞAHI (8) late.

Closed 4th of 12 over 1300m at Bursa on 6 Nov and now stretches to 1400m, which could suit. Draws on a big track at Izmir with M. Çiçek booked. With that platform, İclal Hanım has a tidy base to hold a spot in the finish.

First starter for S.Z.A. Minasoğlu with B.M. Mirik booked, tackling 1400m at Izmir. Three-year-old by Bayhan out of Falez brings a staying-leaning pedigree to this trip. Set-up looks straightforward for a debut, and Adenya maps as a quiet watch with upside.

Second up and stays in the same grade. Last start was 11th of 13 over 1400m at Izmir on 5 Nov on heavy ground. Draws A. Küründük again for M. Yaparoğlu. Needs to lift but the run under the belt can help.

Third up and back to 1400m after finishing 9th of 13 at Bursa on 5 Oct. Stays at the trip and gets K. Tokaçoğlu aboard for K. Şengel. Balkan Sultan can improve with the added fitness.

Draws much better with barrier 4 after jumping from 14 last time. Last start at Istanbul over 1300m on 6 Nov produced a solid 4th of 14 on good ground. With A.E. Elmas up for T. Biricik and a handier gate, Dağardı maps to get a cleaner run at 1400m.

Back to 1400m at Izmir after finishing 8th of 11 over 1600m here on 29 Oct on soft ground. Prior run was 9th of 13 at this track and trip on 8 Oct on good. Stays in the same grade and keeps E.D. Ökten. Needs to build on those local efforts but the return to this distance could help.

Steps up from a 1300m Bursa run on 6 Nov where she finished 6th of 12, and now tackles 1400m. Rides with O. Atmaca for S. Akci. Can be competitive in a big field with that grounding.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and suited by Izmir, having run 2nd of 9 over 1400m here on 3 Oct. Draws better from barrier 3 after jumping from 8 last time, and stays in the same grade. The İ.S. Söğüt/C.T. Köse combo has delivered 2 seconds from 3 starts, which reads well. Honest claims back to this trip.

Third up and comes off a 2nd of 12 over 1300m at Bursa on 6 Nov on good going. That was a clear step forward from her 11th of 12 over 1400m at Izmir on 3 Sep on good. Back to this track and trip with T. Alici up, she has the recent lift in form to be competitive.

Second up and back to 1400m after finishing 9th of 10 over 1600m at Izmir on 29 Oct on soft ground. Also ran 7th of 10 over this trip at Izmir on 12 Jul on good, so the return to this distance is familiar. Stays in the same grade and draws on prior experience at the track. Fair claims if the slight drop in trip helps settle into the run.

First up after 14 weeks and comes back to Izmir, where she was 9th of 9 over 1200m on 8 Aug on good ground. Draws better this time from barrier 5 after barrier 8 last start. Set-up is more favourable, so My Girl can show more second time at the track.

Fourth up and draws the rails after jumping from 8 last time, which could give a cleaner run. Latest was 6th of 13 over 1300m at Bursa on 6 Nov on good ground. With the inside draw and added fitness, Numenor has claims to improve at 1400m.

First starter for Sey. Demir with A. Yildiz booked. Three-year-old filly by Deni̇zi̇m out of Canitez lines up over 1400m at Izmir. Debut profile is straightforward, and the set-up looks a fair starting point. Respect Tatlı Tebessüm on debut without overreaching.
