On a 15-day turnaround after a career-best 3rd at Bursa over 1300m from barrier 6, behind Çilli Cafer and Today Is A Gift. Drawn barrier 5 this time with 57kg and has a placing from two runs out of this barrier range; consistent with the current jockey-trainer combo yielding a minor placing from four starts. Genuine chance to hold form at a similar trip.

Second-up on a short turnaround after debuting 8th of 8 over 1200m at Bursa in a 2Y COND, carrying 57kg on Good going. Steps to 1400m from barrier 8 with the same weight; looking for natural improvement at this stage of the prep.

Comes back on a short 9‑day turnaround after finishing 4th of 5 over 1400m at Izmir carrying 53kg, with Sirius Mi winning. Has raced consistently through five 2YO runs from 1000m to 1400m on good ground, and draws barrier 4 again. Honest efforts to date suggest a minor forward move is possible with the same weight and a favourable gate.

Third-up and stretching 300m after a narrow 2nd at Kocaeli on 9 Jun over 1100m in a 2Y MDN (57kg), with Crimson Power the winner. Also placed 3rd on debut at Bursa over 1000m on Good, and holds a (2:0-1-1) record on Good and (1:0-1-0) at this track. Solid juvenile profile with scope to progress at the longer trip.

Drops 2kg to 55kg and draws barrier 9 after racing wide from 12 when 8th of 11 in a 2Y MDN over 1200m at Bursa on 20 Jul. Prior Kocaeli run was more competitive, finishing 4th of 6 over 1200m on Good. With a 200m drop in trip and a tidier gate, a cleaner run can see improvement.

Second-up after a 36-day break and drops 2kg to 55kg, with a much better draw in barrier 2. Debuted at Bursa over 1200m in a 2YF COND, beaten 8th of 10 from barrier 9 on Good going, and now rises 200m. The softer map and weight relief give scope to improve.

Second-up after 28 days and drops to 55kg from 57kg, with an improved draw to barrier 3. Debut fifth of 9 at Bursa over 1000m on Good and then unplaced at Ankara over 1300m, both at set weights. The lighter weight and soft draw give this 2YO a chance to progress.

Debuted at Kocaeli on 16 Jun over 1100m in a 2Y COND and finished 2nd of 11 from barrier 3 carrying 55kg, splitting Brave Athena and the rest. Second-up today, draws barrier 1 and rises 300m in trip, sticking to 55kg. Solid debut sets a practical base to build from with the inside draw.
