SILPAHAR (5) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1200m contest at Sirinyer by 2 lengths. Will be hard to beat. OKTAY KAHYA (8) accounted for a maiden field over 1400m at this track last start, finishing 2.5 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Muhammed Mir Bilgin who was on board last start. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. HAZARLI COCUK (7) scored at this track last time out with 5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1200m. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Has a high cruising speed. Winning claims on best figures. SANCAR EFESI (3) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 11 lengths into second over 1600m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the better hopes.
