Istanbul Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: -

O BIR ÇELIK (6) Proven record first up. Really dug deep when winning last run at the track and suited at this distance historically. Have to respect the recent B çApkin form. Is in good order and can run well. ERAYKAN (1) On a short turnaround. Got the upper hand late when winning last run here and ideal distance as proven previously. Nevzat Avci̇ has been successful aboard previously. Can measure up to this company. GÜRBÜZ TAY (2) First up after 37 weeks and scored a victory first up last preparation at Veliefendi. Dropping in distance. Will be around the mark at odds. ŞANVERDİ (8) First up from a spell. Fought on gamely when winning last run at this track and form has been improving over recent runs. One to watch and an each way chance.

First up after 37 weeks and left nothing to chance when winning first up last preparation at Veliefendi. Coming back in distance. Should not be left out of your thoughts.

Racing on a quick back up. Looked good when 3rd last run here but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Very hard to have.

Could build on a strong first up record. Really dug deep when winning last run around here and have to respect the form at this trip. Will attract plenty of interest.
