Istanbul Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: -

CANBULUT (1) appeals third-up from barrier 1 after back-to-back 2nds at Istanbul (1300m then 1500m, both on Good) and rises to 59kg; proven at the trip and track. KAHRAMAN FATIH (4) is second-up and draws barrier 2 off a debut 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m (3Y COND1, Good), and maps to get the right run. AKÇAALI (2) is on a short turnaround and drops back 300m after a 1300m Istanbul 3rd two starts ago, which reads okay for this 1300m MDN. BEŞPINAR (8) has a prior Istanbul 3rd in a 3Y fillies race over 1200m and nudges up in trip from a softer draw. Something for the Multiples: AKÇAALI (2)

Professional profile so far with two seconds at Istanbul on good ground, including 2nd of 13 over 1500m on 16 Aug behind Gümüş Kılıç. Drops 200m and rises to 59kg third‑up, again drawing the inside which has suited him (barriers 1–3: 2:0-2-0). Consistent and well placed to be in the finish again.

Comments

Third-up and back 300m to 1300m after a 9th of 12 over 1600m at Istanbul 12 days ago. Previously ran 3rd of 10 at this track/distance on good going, carrying 57kg from barrier 7 behind Erhanhan and Korman Şah. With 57kg again and a similar draw (barrier 8), the return to 1300m looks a suitable setup.

Second-up with a 4kg drop to 53kg and a slightly better barrier after finishing 15th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul on 7 Aug carrying 57kg. Also contested a 1000m race at Istanbul in April, finishing 10th of 10. Needs to lift but the lighter weight and minor barrier improvement offer some upside.

Debuted 10 days ago at Istanbul over 1200m in 3Y COND1, finishing 2nd from barrier 8 with 57kg on Good ground behind Hizli Yasin. Draws much better in barrier 2 and stays on 57kg second-up with the same rider-trainer combo. Solid platform to build on here.

Comments

Placed 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 3Y COND (14 runners) on 1 Jul, and his only track-distance run reads well against that form. Comes back to 54kg from 57kg and draws barrier 4 after wider gates in recent 1200m runs, which could help. Genuine chance to improve returning to a suitable setup.

Second-up after a single run this season, having finished 9th of 10 over 1300m at Ankara on 4 Aug carrying 57kg from barrier 2. Sticks to 57kg and draws barrier 6 this time, with a rider change to M.n.sunkar. Needs to lift on that debut effort but can improve with the run under the belt.

Struggled across five Istanbul runs without a placing, including 11th of 15 over 1300m here on 26 Aug (AR, 53kg) from the outside barrier. Faces a 4kg rise to 57kg but draws better in barrier 10 than last start; needs to lift on current figures.

Fourth-up and returns to Istanbul where she debuted with a 3rd of 13 over 1200m in a 3Y FILLIES COND carrying 57kg. Since then she’s finished 9th/10 at Kocaeli and 15th/15 at Bursa, but drops to 55kg and draws barrier 7 after barrier 9 last start with a slight +100m distance lift. Mixed form this prep, yet her prior Istanbul placing suggests some upside back at this track.

Second-up and drops 3kg to 52kg after drawing much better in barrier 5, having started from 12 when 12th of 13 over 1300m at Istanbul on 26 Aug (55kg) behind Ayyildizlar Beyi. Track/distance figures are yet to show a result, but the lighter weight and improved gate offer a more suitable setup.

Drops 300m to 1300m and sheds 2kg to 53kg after finishing 12th of 12 over 1600m at Istanbul on 28 Aug (AR), having drawn barrier 9. Prior runs included 9th of 14 at Kocaeli over 1400m (AR) from the widest gate 14 with this rider up. Needs to lift but the kinder draw in barrier 3 and lighter weight offer a more suitable set-up.
