DELİ UMUT (8) completed a hat-trick winning over 2400m on synthetic after earlier victories tackling turf and dirt. He also placed at an extended distance on this grass circuit and Halis Karataş takes the ride. BALDER (6) was runner-up in that latest meeting and previously scored trying 2200m here. This surface change could narrow their margin. SIKIDOST (3) won a staying event at Ankara before returning to form contesting 1600m last time. His proven stamina merits respect despite the sharper recent assignment. BY TÜRKOĞLU (7) finished third in a 2100m G1 before a four-month absence. Class gives him a strong chance if ready.
