Izmir Race 4 - Race 4
AÇANAY (4) appeals most with a rock-solid Izmir record and back-to-back 1200m placings after winning here, so the drop back to 1200m looks ideal. TUĞRAPTAY (10) rates a danger with consistent local figures and two recent 1200m placings before a 1600m win, drawn to hold a spot. KÖSE RECEP (7) is progressing well third up with consecutive Izmir seconds at 1400m and 1200m and should be in the finish again. PERGA (3) can figure despite a wide alley, having placed in four of the last five and a recent 1200m 2nd; leaning to AÇANAY (4) in a competitive sprint.

Drops back to 1200m after finishing 5th of 11 over 1600m at Izmir on 29 Oct. Has a solid Izmir 1200m record (6:1-2-1), which suits this set-up. Same grade as last start and stays with S. Akşin for S. Şahyazici. Zaza Enes looks better placed back to this trip.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and holds solid Izmir figures (5:1-2-0). Last start at Izmir over 1600m on 7 Nov he finished 2nd of 8, and the Mer. Çelik partnership has yielded 2 seconds from 3 rides. With that track affinity and a rider who knows him well, Kafkas Yürekli looks a consistent chance at 1200m.

Placed in 4 of last 5 and has a solid rapport with R. Ketme for M. Özgül (4:0-2-1). Latest run was 5th of 11 at Kocaeli over 1500m on 27 Oct on heavy, and this drop back to 1200m could suit. Stays in the same grade and maps as a consistent chance.

Placed in 5 of last 5 and brings reliable Izmir form, including 2nd of 10 over 1400m on 5 Nov on heavy and 2nd of 9 over 1200m on 22 Oct on good. Drops back to 1200m, a trip where she’s (5:1-2-1) at this track and overall Izmir record is strong (7:1-4-1). Same grade as last start. Consistent profile suggests she can be competitive again.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and draws the inside after barrier 6 last time, which could set things up more cleanly. Latest run was 2nd of 8 over 1500m at Ankara on 5 Nov on heavy ground, so the form is holding. Stays in the same grade and has H. Şimşek booked. Solid claims stepping to 1200m from gate 1 for M. Tekinalp’s yard.

Third up and placed in 2 of last 3, he returns to 1200m at Izmir after a 2nd of 9 here on 31 Oct on good going. Strong local record at this track (3:1-2-0) underpins his claims. The A. Yildiz/Y. Arslanca combination has been effective (3:1-1-0). Well set to run another honest race at this trip and venue.

Back to 1200m at Izmir after a 1400m run, with both recent efforts here yielding 4th placings. Those October runs on Good ground read consistent, including 4th of 7 over this trip on 8 Oct. Draws on experience at the course and distance and sticks with O. Yildiz. Honest profile suggests he can be competitive again.

Back to 1200m at Izmir where the last two runs have been, including 5th of 9 on 31 Oct on good ground. Stays in the same grade and keeps M. Göl. With that recent track-and-trip effort, a repeat can see Tınasefe competitive.

Drops back to 1200m after finishing 5th of 8 over 1600m at Izmir on 7 Nov, which could suit better. Prior 1200m run at Izmir on 12 Sep yielded 6th of 7 on good ground. With Ö.F. Özen up for F. Arslanca, Adısoylu has local experience and can be competitive back at this trip.

Back to 1200m at Izmir where he was 4th of 8 on 4 Sep before a tougher 9th of 9 here on 31 Oct. Stays in the same grade and keeps K. Yilmaz. Needs to rebound but prior local run offers a workable platform.

Third up and holding form, having won over 1200m at Izmir on 12 Sep after a prior 3rd over the same trip on 22 Aug, both on good ground. Proven at the track and distance, she profiles as a reliable sprinter in this set-up.

First starter with A. Metin up for M.A. Pakel, and by Yunus Gi̇bi̇ out of Ececankizi. Debuts at 1200m and profiles as a straightforward set-up for a juvenile to learn on the job. Keeps a low profile on exposed data, but the booking and pedigree give a neat platform for Suphra to begin.
