Prize Money: -

ÖZMEN BEY (5) sets the standard with a superb Istanbul record (7 wins from 9) and arrives off a 1st over 2800m here on 20/09 under S. Kaya; back to 1900m looks fine given his recent 2100–2400m wins at this track. DENIZ SAVAŞI (3) is a danger dropping back from 2800m, having won over 2400m here on 02/09 and boasting a 3-from-6 record at 1900m. TOZYUTTURAN (7) is on a short turnaround after a 4th over 2200m on 25/09 and scored over this 1900m here on 11/09, now drawn barrier 2. From the rail, AKSU EFE (1) maps well and was 2nd over 1400m here on 26/08; he also placed over 1900m at Ankara on 27/06.

Comments

Proven this season (3:1-1-1) and returns to Istanbul where he’s 1:0-1 at 1400m and holds a solid overall track record (3:1-1-0). Draws barrier 1 and rises 500m from recent 1400m runs, with his only 1900m try yielding 2nd in a 4Y HCP 16 carrying 50.5kg. Recent wins at 1600m and 1400m on good ground point to a consistent profile, and the soft draw should give him every chance.

Comments

Proven at this track (22:5-6-2) and holding form this prep, including a 2nd at Istanbul over 2100m in AR grade on 5 Sep carrying 57.5kg behind Saçanşah. Last start he boxed on for 4th of 9 over 2800m here and now drops 900m with barrier 7, which looks a more suitable set-up given his recent middle-distance efforts. Well placed to run another honest race with Ayhan Kurşun, who has already partnered him to a 2nd this season.

Comments

Proven at 1900m and this track, with a (1900:6:3-0-1) profile and a win at the track/trip, he draws barrier 4 and reunites with Vedat Abiş. Comes back 10 days after a 5th over 2800m at Istanbul and drops 900m, with recent form including a 2400m Istanbul win (61kg) on 2 Sep and a 2nd at Ankara on 10 Sep. Strong setup back to his preferred journey and looks well placed to run to his figures.

Comments

Bursa 1500m GROUP 3 win two starts back with 58kg reads well, and he’s twice placed at Istanbul including a 2400m 3rd in July. Back to 1900m suits given a 1-from-1 placing at the trip and he draws barrier 8; capable if reproducing that mid-prep form.

Comments

Outstanding Istanbul record (9:7-1-1) and arrives on a tear, winning 4 of his last 5 including 2800m here 10 days ago under S. Kaya. He draws barrier 3, where his stats are excellent (barriers 1–3: 7:6-1-0), and keeps around a proven rider-trainer combo (jockey 11:7-1-2; combo 10:7-1-2). Strong claims again back to this setup.

Comments

Holds a solid Istanbul record (6:2-0-0) and stretches 500m in trip from recent 1400m AR races. Latest run was 4th of 8 at Ankara over 1400m (SOFT) with 60kg on 17 Sep, following a 3rd in a 4Y COND at Ankara on 13 Aug with 58kg. With barrier 6 and a short 13-day turnaround, the set-up looks reasonable for a forward showing back at this track distance.

Backs up on a short turnaround after a solid 4th over 2200m at Istanbul on soft, and now drops 300m to a trip where he’s 2-from-4 with a strong (Istanbul, 1900) record (3:1-1-0). Two starts ago he won over 1900m at Istanbul (AR) from barrier 12, and today draws barrier 2 which is a meaningful improvement. Proven at track and trip and drawn to advantage, he profiles to run well again.

Comments

Racing on a short turnaround after a 2nd at Istanbul over 2200m (AR) five days ago, and she’s been ultra-consistent this prep with 1-1-3 from 6 runs. Proven at the track (20:2-2-9) and unbeaten at 1900m here (1:1-0-0), she drops 300m which looks a suitable tweak. Solid each-way profile again from barrier 5 with 60kg.
