Kocaeli Race 7

Race 7

Stake: -

LORD PROTECTOR (4) rates on top with strong local credentials, having won a Kocaeli 2000m 3UP COND on 4 Jun with 60.5kg before a 2nd at 1800m on 16 Jun and 3rd at 1800m on 30 Jun; his 1900m record is 13:3-3-2 and at this track/trip 6:2-2-1. BLAZE THUNDER (2) brings consistent 2000m form—Kocaeli win on 19 May with 58kg, then 2nd at Bursa on 12 Jun with 60kg and 3rd at Ankara on 23 Jun with 60kg—and owns a 1900m profile of 2:0-1-1 with a solid track record. RICO PASHA (3) backs up on a 7‑day turnaround and maps well from barrier 1; he was 3rd at Kocaeli 2000m on 7 Jul, earlier won Bursa 2100m on 22 Jun with 59kg and was 3rd here at 1900m on 2 Jun with 58.5kg, holding a 3:1-0-1 track/distance mark. MY DEAR BROTHER (5) is in the mix off a Kocaeli 1800m 2nd on 30 Jun and a 2000m 2nd here on 19 May behind BLAZE THUNDER with 57.5kg, and he’s 3:1-0-0 at this track and trip.

Comments

Comes here off solid 2000m form: 3rd in a 3UP at Ankara on Jun 23 from barrier 3 with 60kg behind Percy Jackson/Dragon Kingdom, after a 2nd at Bursa on Jun 12 with 60kg and a Kocaeli win on May 19 with 58kg. Drops to 1900m where he’s (2:0-1-1), has a good record at this track (2:1-0-1), and barrier 3 suits given his 1–3 gate stats (15:4-2-5); profiles as a reliable chance.

Comments

Finished 3rd at Kocaeli over 2000m on 7 Jul behind Tam Time and Fire At Will, having previously won a 3UP HCP at Bursa over 2100m from barrier 1 with 59kg. Back slightly in trip to 1900m where he’s (6:1-0-1) and has a solid track-distance record (3:1-0-1), draws the inside gate, and backs up on a 7‑day turnaround. Teams with E.akpinar (combination 1:0-0-0), and the setup looks suitable for another honest run.

Arrives in consistent form at Kocaeli, following a 3rd (1800m, Jun 30) and 2nd (1800m, Jun 16) after winning a 2000m 3UP COND here on Jun 4 carrying 60.5kg, defeating Lion Pekan. Back to 1900m suits given his 1900m record (13:3-3-2) and strong Kocaeli 1900m stats (6:2-2-1), and he has a (4:1-0-1) record with Muhammed Mir Bilgin. Drawn barrier 7, he should prove competitive again.

Comments

Runner-up at Kocaeli over 2000m (3UP COND, GOOD) to Lord Protector carrying 57.5 on 4 Jun, and also fourth over 1800m on 16 Jun, reads well. On a 5-day turnaround, rises 700m in trip and draws better from barrier 6 after jumping from 12 last start; A.yildiz has a 5:0-1-1 record on him (trainer-jockey 1:0-1-0). Solid course profile (33:6-5-8) and 1900m figures (6:0-0-3) suggest he can give a competitive showing back up in distance.

Comments

Proven at this trip and venue, with a 1900m record of (13:2-1-1) and solid figures at the track (5:1-0-2), including (2:1-0-0) at the track/distance. Comes off a 3rd at Kocaeli over 2000m in a 3UP COND (11 runners) on good ground behind Felix Perla and Secret Lav. Draws barrier 2, an inside alley where he’s been effective (barriers 1-3: 24:4-1-3), and the slight drop to 1900m looks a positive setup.
