Istanbul Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: -

SHIMMER (3) sets the standard after winning a 1300m 2Y COND at Istanbul on 24 Jul, beating INNERBLOOM (2), and she stays at the trip fourth up with a solid Istanbul record. INNERBLOOM (2) draws well and has the 1300m/Istanbul second from that same race plus a prior 1000m maiden win here; reunites with a jockey she has won with. TEPEKIZI (4) was 3rd to that pair over 1300m at Istanbul on 24 Jul and maps handier from barrier 2. ART OF VICTORY (1) gets barrier 1 and drops 1kg after a wide-gate 13th here 10 days ago; earlier 800m Istanbul form includes a win and a 2nd on good ground.

Comments

Draws barrier 1 and drops to 56kg after a tough run from 14 of 14 over 1200m at Istanbul 10 days ago. Earlier in the prep he won over 800m at Istanbul on Good3 and was runner-up on Good, so the inside draw and slight distance reduction (100m) could help him find his best. A measured chance to improve back at a favourable setup.

Comments

Returns to Istanbul after a close 2nd over 1300m in a 2Y COND (barrier 1, 55kg) 19 days ago behind Shimmer, building on a 1000m maiden win prior on good going. Carries 59kg now and draws barrier 3, with Enes Bozdağ back on board (1:1-0-0 together). Solid course record (4:1-1-0) suggests she can be competitive again at this trip.

Comments

Progressive 2YO who is fourth-up and comes off a 1300m win at Istanbul in a 2Y COND (barrier 2) under Nevzat Avci, maintaining a perfect track/distance mark (Istanbul 1300: 1:1-0-0). Track record (3:1-0-2) and good-ground profile are solid, and the current jockey/trainer combo is 1:1-0-0. Up 5kg to 57kg but draws barrier 5 and looks well placed to run well again.

Comments

Returns to Istanbul with barrier 2 after a 9‑day turnaround, having placed 3rd of 4 over 1300m here on 24 Jul in a 2Y COND on Good ground. Recent runs include a 6th of 7 at Bursa over 1200m (2Y FILLIES COND, Good), and today she rises 3kg to 57kg while stretching 100m from that run; her Good-track record shows 2 placings from 3. Honest juvenile with a handy gate and a track/distance placing to her name, capable of holding a position and giving a sight.

Comments

Third-up and back to 54kg after carrying 57kg on debut, with a slight barrier improvement to 6. Debut run at Istanbul over 1200m (GOOD) from barrier 10 ended 10th of 10, then again 10th of 10 over 1300m (FAST) behind Whitewalkers. Needs to show more but the lighter weight and better draw offer some hope for improvement.
