Race 5

Prize Money: -

PYTHAGOREAN THEORY (2) appeals back to 2100m with strong Istanbul stats (7 wins at the track, 1:2:1 at this trip) and a good record with the rider; recent runs include 3rd in a Group 3 over 2400m here on 28 Jun and a 2000m win on 15 Jul. KALKÜTA (3) is a danger second-up after a 1900m Istanbul 2nd on 16 Aug and draws better (barrier 2) with a positive jockey/trainer combo. WARRIOR LION (4) comes off a 1900m Istanbul win on 19 Aug and has previously scored at 2100m, while GEL OGLIM (1) is on a 6-day turnaround and rises 500m after a 1200m Istanbul 2nd on 14 Aug, with a solid 2100m record (1 win, 1 third from 3).

Comments

Back on a short turnaround (6 days) after a 4th of 5 over 1600m at Ankara, and now steps up 500m to 2100m where he owns a handy (3:1-0-1) record. Consistent at Istanbul without winning (8:0-4-1) and draws barrier 3, aligning with strong low‑draw stats (barriers 1‑3: 26:5-6-2). Honest profile suggests he can be competitive again under 57.5kg.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul (27:7-3-8) and at this trip (2100:1-2-1), he draws well in barrier 5 and reunites with Ö. Yildirim, with whom he has a solid record (11:4-3-3). Recent form includes a GROUP 3 3UP 3rd over 2400m on 28 Jun behind Etsuko and a 2000m win here on 15 Jul, and he comes back 300m from a 2400m run 14 days ago. Reliable profile suggests he can be competitive again under 60kg.

Comments

Strong recent form at Istanbul, notably 2nd over 1900m on 16 Aug after jumping from barrier 8, and now draws barrier 2 with a slight step up to 2100m. Proven at the trip (2100m: 3:1-0-0) and reunites with A. Çelik, who has an excellent record aboard (6:3-1-0), while the trainer-jockey combo is 2 from 2. Well set up to run boldly from the good gate.

Scored at Istanbul over 1900m nine days ago, beating Queimada Grande, and now steps out to 2100m where he’s 2:1-0-0. Strong track record at Istanbul (8:2-1-0) and draws barrier 6 after the rails last time; carries 55kg today and reunites with İ.akyavuz, with whom he’s 8:1-0-2. Solid claims to hold form on the short turnaround.

Consistent at Ankara with three 2nds over 1900m this prep, including last start in a 3Y COND when runner-up to Voice Of Khan from barrier 2 carrying 56kg. Steps up 200m and draws barrier 4, with a prior 2100m placing on the record and solid returns from middle gates (5:1-1-1). Genuine chance to be in the finish again.

Comments

Draws the inside gate after working home 7th of 11 over 1900m at Istanbul nine days ago from barrier 10 behind Warrior Lion. Has a lengthy local resume (CurrentTrack: 25:1-1-1) and is unplaced in 12 tries at 2100m, but did box-seat from barrier 1 when 5th of 7 over this trip on 3 Jul. Inside draw helps again, though his 2100m record tempers expectations.
