ESRA KIZ (9) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. YARALI AKBAS (8) started at $5 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1400m. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a bold race. CIHAN BABA (3) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. INCI GULUM (10) finished 6 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on December 24. Expected to feature in the finish this time.
