Kocaeli Race 2 - Race 2
VITE VITE (5) returns to 1200m after a strong Izmir win over 1200 on 21 Jun and owns a 2-from-3 record at the trip; draws barrier 7 and carries 59.5kg. SHAWSHANK (6) maps well from barrier 3 and comes off a Kocaeli 1400m win on 23 Jun; his inside barriers have produced 2 wins and a 2nd from three starts. MAXIMUS MAN (3) gets the inside draw after a solid Ankara 1500m 3rd on 16 Jun and has placed at 1200m previously. CREATIVE MIND (1) boasts 2 wins and a 2nd from four at 1200m and is proven at the track; 61.5kg is the test but the profile is sound.

Proven at 1200m (4:2-1-0) and unbeaten at this track (1:1-0-0), he resumes here off 23 days and drops back 400m from a 1600m 2nd at Izmir. The return to a favourable trip and a handy barrier 5 suit, and he has a win with this jockey-trainer combo in May at 1400m. Solid claims if he runs to those established sprint metrics.

Consistent this season (17:3-3-3) and twice runner-up over 1500m in June, including at Ankara on SOFT behind Princess Deniz carrying 58kg. Drops 400m after a 5th of 6 over 1600m at Ankara 10 days ago and draws barrier 9, with a solid 1200m record (3:0-1-0). Looks suitably placed back in trip to be competitive under 58kg.

Draws barrier 1 and comes here 21 days after a close 3rd at Ankara over 1500m in a 3Y HCP, carrying 59kg. Two prior Adana wins at 1300m and 1400m underpin his prep, and he reunites with Sali̇h Çeli̇k, with whom he’s 1/1; steps back 300m to 1200m with 59.5kg. Well set up from the inside draw to run boldly.

Comes off a 1400m Izmir win nine days ago, scoring from barrier 5 with E Akpinar aboard, and now draws 6 on a short turnaround. Has a perfect 1:1-0-0 at 1200 and the jockey-trainer combo is 1:1-0-0. Recent form this season reads well (10:3-1-0), suggesting he’s holding a solid vein of form.

Arrives off a 1200m Izmir win 16 days ago, adding to a sharp distance record (1200:3:2-0-0) and reuniting with Nevzat Avci, who has a solid partnership (4:1-1). This season’s strike-rate is strong (14:3-5-0), and prior 1400–1600m efforts included seconds behind Moment Saver and Hard Runner. Back to 59.5kg from barrier 7, he profiles as a reliable chance at this trip.

Last run at Kocaeli over 1400m he finished 2nd from barrier 7, and he now draws barrier 4 with 54.5kg and a positive 1:1 record with today’s jockey.

Drops a significant 10kg to 50kg and draws barrier 2 after a wide run from 15 at Bursa last start over 1300m. Consistent prior at Antalya with 3rd placings at 1500m and 1400m, and now comes back slightly in trip with a favourable gate. Light weight and soft draw give him a chance to hold a position and run to his recent level.

Fourth-up and back to 1200m last start at Kocaeli, he boxed on for 5th of 13 from barrier 13 behind Blue Star, which reads more positively than his prior 1800m miss at Bursa. Carries just 50kg here and draws barrier 8 after a wide gate last time, a setup that could help him hold a handy spot. Genuine chance to build on that latest effort at this track and trip.
