Istanbul Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: -

JOYFUL FOREVER (3) Secured the win by a slim margin last time at the track and has a good draw. Hakan YüZbaşI stable are running hot lately. Key player. STATUE OF LIBERTY (5) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at the track. Jockey H Karataş is very comfortable steering. Must be considered. LINARES (4) Mediocre attempt when 4th last start at this track. Likely to bounce back. Mehmet Fati̇H Kaya has been successful previously. Going well this campaign. Should be in the finish. BOAZ (1) Did well when 3rd last start here and gets the perfect stall. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Worth some thought.

Was $4.00 and average effort when 4th last start here. Likely to bounce back. Very competitive this preparation. Mehmet Fati̇H Kaya is very comfortable aboard. Strong chance.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at this track. H Karataş has a high strike rate on board. Should give plenty of sight.
