Izmir Race 8 - Race 8
PARMIGIANO (2) appeals most on exposed form, having finished 2nd over this 1900m here two starts back and holding solid Izmir stats with multiple placings. ALFA KAAN (15) is a danger after a sound 5th over this trip at the last meeting here and a competitive 5th at 1200m since. MASTER KINGDOM (7) has a case off a sharp 2nd over 1200m last start and draws well to stretch to 1900m. RING RANG RONG (3) is in the mix second up with prior Izmir placings and a 4th at this track/trip earlier in the year. Lean PARMIGIANO (2) on proven 1900m Izmir form.

Draws much better with barrier 2 after coming from 9 last time. Last start was 6th of 15 over 1500m at Adana on 27 Oct on good ground, and this is the same grade. The step to 1900m and the softer draw give Sosan a cleaner set-up to improve. Kept safe.

Consistent type with placed in 3 of last 5 and a solid 2nd of 16 over 1900m at Izmir on 10 Oct. Strong local record (7:0-4-1) and goes well with M.M. Bilgin for Sa. Özbey (6:0-3-1). Stays in the same grade and looks a reliable chance to figure again at this trip.

Second up and back to 1900m at Izmir, the scene of a 4th of 8 over this trip on 6 Feb. Latest run was 6th of 16 over 1200m on soft here on 29 Oct, so the stretch back to this journey looks a more suitable setup. Stays in the same grade and draws on prior 1900m experience to give this a reasonable look.

Backs up from 29 Oct at Izmir when 13th of 16 over 1200m on soft. Steps to 1900m and stays in the same grade, which could suit better. Draws on the services of M. Tekpetek for H. Durmuş. A lift is needed but the set-up offers a different scenario.

Stretches to 1900m again after finishing 5th of 17 at Bursa over this trip on 9 Nov. Keeps R. Ketme and stays with Y. Akbulut, which provides continuity. Capable of holding a position in this bigger field with that run under the belt.

Draws a better gate this time with barrier 6 after coming from 9 last start. Latest run was 14th of 16 over 1200m at Izmir on 29 Oct on soft, and prior was 9th of 16 over this 1900m trip at Izmir on 10 Oct on good. Stays in the same grade and returns to a proven trip. Needs to lift but the draw and return to 1900m give some hope for improvement.

Draws much better in 4 after coming from 11, which should help. Latest run was a sharp 2nd of 16 over 1200m at Izmir on 29 Oct on soft. Prior 1900m attempt here on 10 Oct returned 12th of 16, so stretching back out is the query. With the kinder gate and recent placing, Master Kingdom can give a sight.

Second up after a 29 Oct Izmir 1200m run on soft where he finished 10th of 16, and now stretches to 1900m. Stays in the same grade. A. Küründük sticks and the set-up gives him a chance to show more.

First up after about 8 months, with C. Yilmaz booked for Z. Turğul. Last seen 12 Mar at Antalya over 1400m when 10th of 11. Steps to 1900m and looks a low-key return, but the set-up gives a chance to improve.

First up after about 5½ months, and draws markedly better with barrier 1 after jumping from 16 last time. Latest run was 4th of 15 over 1600m at Istanbul on 31 May on good ground. The soft gate gives O. Atmaca options and sets up a fair return at 1900m.

Draws better with barrier 5 after coming from 12 last time. Latest run was 7th of 17 over 1900m at Bursa on 9 Nov on good ground, and stays at the same trip here at Izmir. With A. İnci up for K. Şengel, the improved gate can help her settle into a handier spot and produce a cleaner run.

Back to 1900m at Izmir, where he was 5th of 16 on 10 Oct on GOOD ground. Latest run was 5th of 16 over 1200m here on 29 Oct on SOFT, so the rise in trip looks a positive setup. Stays in the same grade and keeps Ö.F. Özen. Solid claims to hold his form at this trip.

Stays in the same grade and stretches from 1200m to 1900m after finishing 8th of 16 at Izmir on 29 Oct on soft ground. Mer. Çelik rides for Ç. Özdil. The rise in trip offers a different scenario at this track. A measured chance with the class unchanged and setup shifting significantly.
