NIKKO (6) improved sharply on his ninth two starts back at this track with success over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. ANADOLU LIDERI (1) ran below expectations last time at Antalya over 1400m, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. ENGINTRON (5) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 2000m, beaten 1.4 lengths. Will appreciate the longer journey now. SELANIK PRENSI (4) closed last campaign with five consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of three-and-a-half months. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Not to be discounted.
