MERCAN ANA (11) has taken third in consecutive Şanlıurfa maidens over 1200m and 1300m after struggling earlier on turf. Those more promising local efforts make her a serious contender. SUZANAY (12) has finished fourth in all three sand appearances including a course sprint. Another small advance could secure a first placing. EDA HATUN (7) is unraced but her dam has produced four winners from seven runners. Half-brother SATANHAN won 15 times with 11 on dirt and gives this newcomer a useful pedigree. ELMAS GÖZLÜM (8) was fifth here after a better effort attempting 1700m. Experience is her chief asset while the inside stall may help.
