Izmir Race 5 - Race 5
WHITE WOLF (2) looks the one with strong 1200m and Izmir stats (4 wins from 7 at the trip, 4 from 7 at track and distance) and arrives first up with a 1-2 profile at this stage; inside draw suits. ULTRA FAST (3) appeals as the main danger dropping back to 1200m after a soft-track 3rd over 1400m and has a solid record from wider alleys plus 2 seconds from 3 runs at this course and trip. BOARDING PASS (5) has recent Izmir 1200m form with a 2nd two starts back and enough local record to feature if holding that level. SHAWSHANK (6) is progressive at the trip (1 win, 1 second from 2 at 1200m) and comes off a 1200m win, so must be considered. Leaning to WHITE WOLF (2) in a tight finish over ULTRA FAST (3).

Strong rapport with M.M. Bilgin and A. Ataş combined, posting (3:1-2-0), and overall with this rider is (15:4-4-3). Latest Izmir runs read 7th of 11 over 1600m on 7 Nov and 7th of 9 over this 1200m on 24 Sep. Back to 1200m at Izmir with a proven jockey partnership gives Obrada a platform to be more competitive.

Comes off a 5th of 11 over 1600m at Izmir on 7 Nov on good ground. Drops back to 1200m and stays at the same track, which could sharpen her. H. Şimşek sticks and the smaller field of 8 may help her find a spot. Solid enough recent run to suggest she can be competitive in this set-up.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and returns to 1200m after a 6th of 9 over 1400m at Izmir on 29 Oct. Prior run here at 1200m on 10 Oct was a 2nd of 12, highlighting suitability at the trip. Stays in the same grade and retains O. Atmaca. Solid claims back to this distance.

Comes here off a 1200m win at Kocaeli on 3 Nov, which reads well for this trip. Stays in the same grade and keeps İ. Dinar engaged for T. Çekici. With that recent success on the board, Shawshank brings a solid platform into this 1200m assignment at Izmir.

First up off about five months and has won 3 of last 5, including an Izmir 1200m win on 28 May. Holds a (3:1-0-1) record at this track and trip, which fits the set-up. Latest prep ended with an 8th of 8 here over 1200m on 13 Jun, but prior form at the course reads better. With A. İnci up for Ç. Özdil, Blue Reflection maps as a credible hope back to a proven assignment.

Fourth up and comes off a 3rd of 9 over 1400m at Bursa on 23 Oct, backing up a prior 1200m run here when 11th of 12 on 10 Oct. Returns to 1200m at Izmir with S. Tirpan booked for C. Yildirim. Mixed recent efforts but the latest placing gives a platform to hold a spot in this.
