ELITE TOUCH (3) sets the standard off the 2/8/26 Istanbul 1200m win (57kg) over MAJESTUOSA (5), and draws barrier 2 to control the race up to 1400m. MAJESTUOSA (5) maps well from barrier 3 and has strong Istanbul figures, including 2nd to ELITE TOUCH (3) on 2/8/26 and prior 1200m wins. ADA EFSANESI (1) is second up after a 14‑day turnaround and won on debut at Istanbul 1300m from barrier 1; rises 2kg to 57kg but retains gate 1. BELLEZA (2) is a proven Istanbul winner with a 4‑from‑5 track record and reunites with a jockey who has 3 wins from 4 on it, but must rebound off a 6th on 2/8/26.

Comments

Debuted 14 days ago at Istanbul and won a 2Y COND over 1300m from barrier 1, defeating Wind Of Romance, and now returns second-up. Carries 57kg (up 2kg) and nudges up 100m in trip, again drawn the inside alley. Progressive profile and the setup looks straightforward from the rail.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul with a strong local record (5:4-0-0), including wins from 1000m to 1200m, and now draws barrier 5 after jumping from 9 last time. Last start 6th of 13 at Istanbul over 1200m (57kg) on GOOD, and now drops 200m which could suit given earlier sprint wins. With a 3-from-4 partnership for the current jockey and a perfect 2-from-2 jockey-trainer combo, she profiles to bounce back.

Progressive 2yo with a strong Istanbul record (3:1-2-0), breaking through last start over 1200m here from barrier 7 under 57kg. Twice runner-up prior, including a 1200m second to Majestuosa, and now draws barrier 2 with the same weight after 26 days. Well set up to hold form at this trip from a soft gate.

Comments

Fourth-up and back to 1400m with a 4kg rise to 57kg after three 5th-place finishes in small Ankara fields. Draws barrier 4 and switches to Serh. Çelik; needs to lift on exposed efforts but the setup change could help.

Proven at Istanbul with a strong (3:2-1-0) track record, including 1200m wins on 03/07 and 17/07. Comes off a 6th in a GROUP 1 2Y at Ankara over 1300m 13 days ago and now drops 100m, rises to 57kg, and draws barrier 3 with A.kurşun up. Well set back to a preferred track and trip to rebound.
