Comments

Broke through at Istanbul over 1200m 12 days ago, defeating Red Victory, and is unbeaten at the trip and track/distance (1:1-0-0). Retains Akin Sözen with a perfect pairing record (1:1-0-0), and a this-season profile of (4:1-1-1) suggests he can run well again.

Won at Istanbul over 800m on 8 May (GOOD3) in a 6-runner field, with Easy On Me the runner-up, having previously finished 2nd over 800m to Rapid Shot. Third-up with a 400m rise in trip and a better barrier (4 from 7), and the current jockey/trainer partnership is 2:1-1-0, so the profile is solid.

Ran 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 10 days ago, having previously won the 1100m 2Y MDN FILLIES there over Kir Bumerang. Draws barrier 1 and reunites with Ali Yildiz, a pairing that is (2:1-1), and her local figures read (Istanbul 4:1-1-0; 1200m 1:0-1-0). Solid profile to hold form from the inside.

Fourth-up and on an 8-day turnaround, now drawing barrier 2 after jumping from 5 last time. Won at Elazig over 1100m on GOOD (55kg) before a 2nd over 1200m in 2Y COND FILLIES there, carrying 60kg behind Victory Xece. With a 1200m record of (2:0-1-0), the draw and recent placing point to a competitive showing.

Third-up and already a winner at Istanbul, having scored on 14 Jun over 1000m (GOOD) from barrier 10, defeating Coral Reefs. Latest run was 6th of 9 over 1200m here on 28 Jun in 2Y COND FILLIES behind Rock Of Beautiful. With a (Istanbul: 2:1-0-0) record, there’s scope to improve as the preparation deepens.

Debuted 17 days ago with 3rd of 9 at Istanbul over 1200m (2Y COND FILLIES, good), carrying 53kg from barrier 5 behind Rock Of Beautiful and Coral Reefs. Second-up and sticking to the same track/trip (1:0-0-1), a repeat of that effort would keep her competitive.

In-form 2YO with a season record (3:2-1-0) and at 1200m (2:1-1-0); was 2nd at Kocaeli over 1200m eight days ago with 57kg, having previously won the Elazig 2Y COND FILLIES over 1200m on Good with 60kg over Bir Rüzgar. Drawn barrier 5 and unbeaten from barriers 4–6 (2:2-0-0), the short turnaround looks suitable for another forward showing.
