Istanbul Race 6

İstanbul Büyükşehi̇r Beledi̇ye Başkanliği

Prize Money: -

MAGIC WEAPON (6) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this track and returns to a longer distance. Akin SöZen is in good form for this stable. Has a positive draw. A win wouldn't surprise. BROARTS (3) Put the head down when winning last run at Adana and ideal trip as proven previously. Jockey H Karataş is a bonus and has the ideal draw. Goes close. BORREGO (2) First up after a break of 32 weeks. Brave effort to win narrowly last start at this track but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Not out of this. GALIOĞLU (4) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at Antalya. Good to see Mehmet Akyavuz is jumping on. Tracking very well this preparation. Solid place bet prospects.

Tidy effort when 2nd last run at this venue. öZcan Yildirim is a suitable booking. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Rough chance.

Racing fresh after a break. Looked good when 3rd last run at this venue but dropping in distance. GöKhan Kocakaya rates highly aboard. Will need to find a few more lengths.

Competitive effort when 2nd last run at the track and returns to a rise in trip. Akin SöZen and Hakan YüZbaşI are usually competitive when they team up. Drawn nicely. Can measure up against these.
