Kocaeli Race 8 - Race 8
SILA ALEYNA (1) maps as the one to beat second up after a 2nd at Bursa over 1400m 11 days ago and now draws barrier 4 after jumping from 9 there; rises to 59kg but has twice placed on good and has a solid association with the rider. TODAY IS A GIFT (2) is consistent at Kocaeli with two placings this season and was 3rd here at 1400m on 11 Aug; back up 200m suits. SOUL OF MINE (8) brings competitive Ankara 1300m form when 4th in a 10‑runner fillies race and holds a Kocaeli placing this prep. NINJA QUEEN (6) has been around the mark with 4th in a 12‑runner Kocaeli 1200m maiden last start and may appreciate the extra 200m.

Second-up after a narrow 2nd at Bursa over 1400m (TB) 11 days ago, drawn wide in barrier 9 and carrying 55kg under T Yildiz. Drops 5 barriers into 4 and rises to 59kg, with strong ‘Good’ track stats (2:0-2-0) and a consistent profile with this rider (2:0-2-0). Well set up to hold form with the kinder gate despite the weight climb.

Placed at both Kocaeli runs this season, including 3rd over 1400m in a 2Y MDN on 11 Aug and 3rd over 1200m in a 2YF MDN on 25 Aug. Rises 4kg to 57kg and steps back up 200m, but draws well in barrier 5 and has consistent CurrentTrack figures (2:0-0-2) to give this a solid look.

Second-up from a debut at Istanbul over 1300m on 21 Aug where he finished 8th of 8 in TB grade on Good going with 57kg, drawing wide in barrier 11 behind Arbitrage. Draws the inside gate today with a slight 100m distance rise and retains 57kg, which could aid improvement. Measured lift expected from the softer map.

Fourth-up and back to 57kg, she has placed twice this prep on Good, including 3rd at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y Fillies Cond 19 (55kg) and 3rd at Kocaeli over 1200m (57kg). Last start she was 9th of 11 at Ankara over 1400m in a 2Y MDN Fillies from barrier 7; draws 8 here with the rider who rode her Kocaeli placing back aboard. Honest early signs this campaign suggest she can be competitive if she bounces back at the trip.

Third-up after a 70-day break, returning to 1200m with a 200m rise in trip. At Kocaeli she was 4th of 4 over 1100m on 23 Jun (Good) before finishing 6th of 6 over 1200m on 30 Jun (Good), and now draws barrier 2 again. Needs to lift on those efforts but the low draw gives her a chance to settle closer.

Fourth-up and on a short 14‑day turnaround, she comes off a 4th of 12 in a 2YF MDN over 1200m at Kocaeli, drawing barrier 3 and carrying 57kg behind Coral Reefs. Prior Istanbul runs at 1200m returned 5th/11 and 6th/10 on good ground. Steps up 200m and maps from barrier 9 with A. Sözen; consistent maiden efforts suggest she can hold her form at the trip.

Second-up after debuting at Istanbul over 1300m in a TB on Good, finishing 7th of 8 from barrier 1 at 57kg. Rises 100m and draws barrier 7 with M.kaya aboard; scope to improve with that experience.

Fourth-up and drawn well in barrier 3, this 2YO has a runner-up finish at Kocaeli over 1100m earlier in the prep and was 4th at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y FILLIES COND 19 last time. Returns to 57kg after carrying 55kg in the prior Kocaeli 1400m run, with a slight step up in trip from 1300m likely to suit based on her early placing. Genuine chance to hold a forward position and keep improving at this track where she’s already placed (CurrentTrack: 2:0-1-0).

Third-up after a 70-day break and drops to 54kg, with a 200m rise to this trip from recent 1000–1200m runs at Kocaeli. Posted 4th over 1000m (Good) then 5th over 1200m (Good), both from wide barrier 8, and now draws barrier 6. The lighter weight and slightly better barrier give scope to hold a position and improve.
