Drawn barrier 2 with 54kg for G. Özçelik, this 2YO by Run Away And Hide gets a soft map to stalk the speed. With H. Dolmaz preparing, the setup looks straightforward and a handy run from the draw is within reach.

Back 100m to 1000m after a 6th of 7 at Istanbul on 10 Jun over 1000m in a 2Y MDN, carrying 55kg behind Innerbloom; drops to 51kg today and draws barrier 3. Prior runs at 1100m included a 5th of 7 at Adana on soft ground behind Havasupai. Light weight and a softer draw give scope to be more competitive.
