Kocaeli Race 7 - Race 7
FORTISSIMO (1) sets the standard with a 4:3-0-1 prep and perfect Kocaeli/1400m records, completing a hat-trick here on 22 Sep over 1400m (2Y COND4) with 59kg from barrier 2, and again draws well in 3. LETS GO (5) is the danger second up after a debut win at Kocaeli on 22 Sep over 1400m (TB) carrying 57kg from barrier 11, now improving to gate 4. BRAVE ATHENA (4) has solid prior Kocaeli figures, including a 1200m win and a 2nd from barrier 1 in July, and maps handier from barrier 2. RAPID SHOT (2) resumes second up after finishing 6th at Istanbul over 1400m (2Y COND) and may improve from the inside draw. Something for the Multiples: FORTISSIMO (1)

Undefeated at Kocaeli (3:3-0-0) and perfect at today’s track/trip (2:2-0-0), he returns from a 21-day freshen with the same rider who is unbeaten on him (3:3-0-0). Progressed from a 2Y MDN win over 1400m to back-to-back wins in 1200m TB and 1400m 2Y COND4, all carrying 59kg at Kocaeli. Drawn barrier 3 again and profiles to hold form.

Second-up after 27 days, draws barrier 1 and returns to Istanbul off a 6th of 7 over 1400m in a 2Y COND when drawn barrier 2 behind Rattlesnake. Earlier juvenile wins at 800m and 1100m here, plus a 2nd at 1000m, underline his short-course effectiveness. Inside gate could help him bounce back if kept within his proven distances.

Proven at Kocaeli with a strong track record (6:3-0-0), including 1000m and 1100m wins earlier in the prep. Recent efforts over longer trips were mixed, and he now drops 100m which could suit from barrier 5 under Hișman Çi̇zi̇k. Holds genuine claims back at a sharper trip given his prior Kocaeli sprint wins.

Proven at Kocaeli with a strong track record (4:2-1-0), including wins over 1100m and 1200m earlier in the prep. Comes off a 5th of 8 in a 2Y COND4 over 1400m at Kocaeli on 22 Sep carrying 58kg, and draws better here with barrier 2 after jumping from 4 last time. Back to a favourable venue and soft draw give the runner a chance to rebound.

Made a winning debut at Kocaeli over 1400m on 22 Sep, taking a 12-runner TB race from barrier 11 under S Özen at 57kg. Second-up here and draws much better in barrier 4 with the same jockey, which should aid his run position. Progressive profile at the track and trip suggests he can measure up again.
