Race 5

Prize Money: -

COOL STAR (4) appeals off a last-start 3rd at Istanbul over 2000m on 12 Jun and owns a strong track/distance record (Istanbul 2000m: 19:4-2-5). PARKER (7) brings solid Istanbul form—won here over 2100m on 13 May (SOFT) before a credible 4th over 2000m on 12 Jun—and has five Istanbul wins overall. SEVERUS SNAPE (1) is fourth-up and comes back 200m after a 2200m Istanbul run on 1 Jul; he has a 2000m placing from two attempts and has performed well from barriers 4–6 (3:2-0-1). QUEEN BÜŞRA (6) resumes after 148 days but is reliable at Istanbul 2000m (5:2-1-0), including a 4th here over 2000m on 3 Jan with 56kg from barrier 9.

Comments

Fourth-up and back to 2000m, a trip at which he’s placed (2:0-1-0). Latest run produced 4th of 7 at Istanbul over 2200m in 3UP COND (56.5kg) with Ohio Man scoring, after a 5th of 8 at Bursa over 2000m in the same grade. Barrier 4 looks a positive given his barrier 4-6 record (3:2-0-1), so he can be around the mark.

Draws barrier 1 and drops 200m back to 2000m, a trip where he’s (6:1-0-1). Last start was 4th of 5 at Ankara over 2200m on 4 Jun, carrying 63kg behind Galloon. Has finished 3rd in both rides for M.a.solmaz, and the inside draw looks an advantage.

Comments

Strong season overall (11:4-1-0), though he’s yet to win at this track (4:0-0-0) and his 2000m record sits at (4:0-1-0). Latest was 5th of 9 at Istanbul over 2000m on 12 Jun behind Star Blood, having earlier scored at Adana over 1900m (SOFT) on 24 Mar from Güçlü Türk. Capable on his day, but he does need to lift to break through at this venue and trip.

Proven at Istanbul 2000m (19:4-2-5) and overall at the track (46:6-9-9). Finished 3rd at Istanbul over 2000m on 12 Jun from barrier 8 behind Star Blood and Zambur Aga. This season’s return is modest (14:1-0-1), but his record at the trip keeps him in the mix.

Comments

Posted a solid 4th of 18 at Istanbul over 2000m on 15 Apr with B. Çığla up from barrier 15, behind Touch The Cloud. Draws barrier 3 this time and has a handy low-draw record (barriers 1-3: 10:1-2-0). Overall track figures (Istanbul 27:2-3-4) and 2000m stats (8:0-0-2) keep him in the mix if he runs to that April effort.

Proven at the Istanbul 2000m with a (5:2-1-0) record. Latest Istanbul run at 2000m on 3 Jan was 4th of 9 from barrier 9 carrying 56kg. First-up after 4 months and unplaced fresh (2:0-0-0), but draws barrier 6 this time, which should help back at her preferred set-up.

Proven at Istanbul with a solid (14:5-0-2) track record, and scored two starts back over 2100m defeating Another Banger. Latest run was 4th of 9 at Istanbul over 2000m (12 Jun), having earlier finished 3rd at the trip on a GOOD3 carrying 58kg (22 Apr). With consistent local form and some 2000m placings (4:0-1-1), he looks a reasonable hope.

Proven at Istanbul and this trip, including a perfect (Istanbul, 2000) record of (1:1-0-0) and overall track figures of (6:2-1-0). Second-up after finishing 7th of 11 in a 3Y 2100m at Istanbul 21 days ago with 60.5kg behind Start Up. The drop back 100m and barrier 2 look positives for a bounce back to his better 2000m form.
