Unbeaten in two starts this season, both at Kocaeli, and now third-up from barrier 1. Last start scored over 1200m at Kocaeli (59kg) and prior won a 2Y COND over 1100m (55kg), both with S. Özen aboard. Perfect track and jockey records point to another bold showing.

Progressive juvenile fourth-up who has hit the frame in all three runs this season (3:1-1-1), including a 1200m Ankara maiden win two back. Last start she boxed on for 3rd of 6 in a 2Y FILLIES COND 5 over 1200m at Ankara from barrier 2 under 55kg, behind Speed Queen and Çelçirn Firtinasi. Maps well again from barrier 2 and looks a consistent option at this trip (1200:2:1-0-1).

Broke through last start at Bursa over 1200m in a 2Y MDN, scoring from Tatli Akyüz and now backs up on a short turnaround. Proven at 1200m (2:1-0-0) and keeps Y. Gökçe, with whom the horse has a solid record (2:1-0-0) and an unbeaten trainer-jockey combo (1:1-0-0). With barrier 6 and confidence boosted, this profile suggests further improvement is within reach.

Debut winner over 1000m at Istanbul before two unplaced 1200m runs, most recently 8th of 9 on 17 Jul (GOOD) from the outside barrier. Draws better in barrier 4 and is fourth-up 11 days later, which could help recapture early form.

Second-up and back 200m to 1200m on a short 5-day turnaround after contesting a 1400m event at Kocaeli. Debut effort was 7th of 7 over 1100m at the same track (GOOD) carrying 55kg; carries 54kg here and draws barrier 5 after barrier 1 last time. Needs to lift on exposed runs but the quick backup and slight drop in trip could help.

On a short turnaround after Kocaeli five days ago and drops back 200m, returning to 1200m where it has twice finished 4th this prep. Draws barrier 3 and stays at 54kg after carrying 57kg in a 2YF MDN two starts back. Honest efforts at this track suggest it can be competitive again.
