Istanbul Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

SANDOKAN (1) arrives fourth-up and comes off a 1400m Istanbul win on 8 Jul from barrier 1, now draws 2 and drops back 100m, which reads well. YONAGUNI (3) was 2nd to SANDOKAN in that 1400m Istanbul race and gets a better gate (5 from 8), so is the danger. VICTORY XECE (2) is on a short turnaround and has two wins this season, including a 1200m Elazig success, and now draws the rail. ALDANA (5) is third-up after a 4th of 6 over 1200m here on 5 Jul and can hold a spot from barrier 3.

Comments

Broke through last start at Istanbul over 1400m from barrier 1, scoring under 55kg with Yonaguni the runner-up, and now comes back 100m. Fourth-up and drawn well again in barrier 2, he looks to hold his form. Suitable set-up to run well at this trip.

Comments

On a short turnaround after a 5th of 9 over 1200m at Istanbul seven days ago, having settled from barrier 5 and carrying 55kg behind Majestuosa. Prior to that she ran 2nd of 6 at Kocaeli over 1200m (57kg), and earlier posted back-to-back wins including a 1200m 2Y COND FILLIES at Elazig. Draws barrier 1 here with a slight rise to 1300m, which gives her a practical setup to hold form.

Comments

Runner-up in his last two, most recently at Istanbul over 1400m on 8 Jul (9 runners, 57kg) when splitting Sandokan and the rest. Prior second at Bursa over 1200m on 19 Jun in a 2Y MDN, again beaten by the winner Ponca. Back 100m and drawn barrier 5, his recent consistency suggests he can be competitive.

Comments

Four Istanbul runs this prep have produced 5th of 7 over 800m on debut before 6th of 6 (1100m, GOOD), 7th of 8 (1200m, 57kg, 2Y), and 8th of 8 (1200m, GOOD). Draws barrier 4 after jumping from 6 last time and comes back 100m, with Y.ş.gümüş now taking the ride. Needs to lift on exposed figures but a softer draw and slight trip trim could help.

Comments

Third-up and draws barrier 3 after a much-improved 4th of 6 over 1200m at Istanbul on 5 Jul in 2Y COND, having raced from gate 5 under 52kg behind Harun Reis. Prior run was 8th of 10 over 1000m at the same track on 24 May on good going. Slight rise to 1300m today looks a reasonable progression and the low draw can help her hold a position.
