YALIN ATEŞ (2) was fourth in a 1200m Istanbul turf maiden just 0.5L behind third. A 1400m second on his previous outing gives him strong claims returning to this trip although eleven starts without victory temper confidence. URFA BEYİ (1) boasts several Ankara turf placings and finished fourth tackling 1300m last time. A previous sprint second is a useful reference. BALCIDEDE (3) made fourth in both local appearances and may develop with experience. ALINCA KÖYLÜ (8) makes her debut by Baş Hükümdar out of Zirveninkizi. Three of her dam's four earlier runners won but none scored on turf and her own grass aptitude is unknown.
