Kocaeli Race 7 - Race 7
NOBIL BIGTIME (8) sets the standard with four thirds from five starts at Kocaeli and a last-start 3rd of 13, and the 1500m rise looks within reach on recent 1400m placings. DRAGON FURIOUS (1) is the danger after a 2nd of 14 then 3rd of 7 at 1200m and holds consistent local figures, though the wide gate and prior 1500m miss temper confidence. STEEL HUNTER (11) is in the mix off a last-start 3rd of 9 and stays at the track where all form sits, but must prove the extra trip. MY BLACK BOY (6) has been holding ground around the mark with two recent 4ths here and maps to get a soft run from barrier 2 stepping to 1500m; narrow leaning to NOBIL BIGTIME (8).

Placed in 2 of last 3 and comes off a 2nd of 14 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 13 Oct, which reads well for this. Steps to 1500m and stays in the same grade, which looks a suitable progression. S. Özen rides for N. Kaya. Dragon Furious profiles as a consistent juvenile with the platform to hold form here.

First up off a 15-week break and returns to Kocaeli, where she was 2nd of 8 over 1200m on 21 Jul. Placed in 2 of last 3 and now stretches to 1500m with A. Sözen booked. Solid foundation for this assignment.

Third up and comes off a 5th of 9 over 1200m at Istanbul on 4 Oct. Steps to 1500m with O. Yildiz riding for H.R. Yeşilbudak and stays in the same grade. Solid enough platform to hold a spot in this.

Third up, and stays in the same grade. Last start at Kocaeli over 1200m on 13 Oct was 14th of 14. Steps to 1500m, which may suit better at this stage of the prep. With Berk. Gökçe riding for E. Turan, a quieter run-through would be a pass mark.

Draws much better with barrier 2 after coming from 11 last time. Last start at Kocaeli over 1200m on 13 Oct he finished 4th of 14, a sound effort for a 2yo. Stays in the same grade and gets Y. Gökçe up for H.R. Yeşilbudak. Favourable gate can help him hold a handy position and build on that recent run.

Consistent type with placed in 4 of last 5 and a solid 3rd of 13 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 13 Oct. Profile suits this venue with (5:0-0-4) at Kocaeli, all this season. Stays in the same grade and draws on proven track affinity. Honest each time and a repeat of recent efforts keeps Nobil Bigtime in the mix.

Stays in the same grade and returns to Kocaeli after a 7th of 8 over 1400m on 27 Oct on heavy ground. The extra 100m looks a minor shift and R. Ketme takes the ride for T. Çekici. With that recent track experience, Nebula Star can be more competitive.
