TAŞKARA (6) followed a 1600m maiden victory on soft turf here with a second over 1400m against winners. Retaining the same rider and reverting to his successful trip makes him a strong contender. YALNIZ AŞIK (1) finished runner-up attempting 1500m and scored a 1200m sprint before registering a fourth among stronger company last week. The additional distance looks manageable. BÜYÜK DESTAN (3) broke through on heavy Ankara grass after an earlier synthetic third at Istanbul. That progression warrants attention. GİDERLİCAN (5) opened his account at Bursa but disappointed in his latest assignment. Must now prove he can stay among more seasoned opposition.
