Istanbul Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: -

LAND OF LEGENDS (1) maps well to 2400m after back‑to‑back 2nds at Istanbul over 2100m (11 Sep, TB, 56.5kg) and 2200m (21 Aug, 3Y HCP, 56kg), and draws barrier 4 with solid track stats (2 wins, 5 seconds, 4 thirds from 14). JACKAL TROUBLE (7) is a danger off consecutive Istanbul 3rds at 2100m (13 Sep, 51kg) and 2200m (26 Aug, 51kg), holding form at the trip range. NART THE BATTLE (2) has strong Ankara staying form with 2nds at 1900m (3 Sep, 56kg) and 2200m (27 Aug, 62kg) and benefits from barrier 1. ANGLE RISING (4) is on a short turnaround and brings recent Ankara placings over 1500m and a 4th at 2100m (24 Sep, 54kg), which can translate stepping to 2400m.

Comments

Arrives in consistent form with back-to-back 2nds at Istanbul over 2100m and 2200m on GOOD, most recently from barrier 1 in TB class. Proven at the track (Istanbul 14:2-5-4) and returns to 1800m with a 300m drop in trip, drawing barrier 4. Honest profile suggests another competitive showing.

Arrives with solid staying form, finishing 2nd at Ankara over 1900m on 3 Sep (TB) carrying 56kg and 2nd there over 2200m on 27 Aug (3UP HCP) with 62kg. Draws the inside barrier and has a prior 2200m Ankara win on 23 Jun (3Y HCP, 59kg), which reads well for another honest showing.

Closed into 5th of 11 over 2100m at Istanbul 17 days ago (TB, 56kg) behind Richwood, and now drops 300m which could suit. Draws barrier 5 with Y. Gökçe, whose association with the yard includes a recent 2nd together. Track record at Istanbul (18:1-3-2) is steady, so a honest showing is within reach.

Back on a short turnaround after finishing 4th of 9 over 2100m at Ankara six days ago, having run 3rd over 1500m there on 15 Sep behind Secret Storm and Dinamit Kiz. Drops 3.5kg from that 1500m run and draws barrier 7 after wider gates recently, with Ayhan Kurşun reunited. Consistent Ankara efforts this prep suggest he can be competitive again.

Comments

Back to a more suitable trip with a 600m drop after two 8th-place finishes at Kocaeli over 1800m, and now draws barrier 2. Earlier in the prep won over 2000m at Kocaeli (GOOD) with 58kg and was a 2000m runner-up at Istanbul prior. Fourth-up and well drawn, a bounce back to that staying form is within reach.

Comments

Back on a short turnaround after a solid 3rd at Kocaeli over 1900m (15 runners) where Mystery Bounty won, and now draws barrier 3. Prior Bursa run produced another 3rd in a 3Y MDN over 1400m, and the stats show a placing from two starts when drawn 1–3. Big 500m drop in trip and a favourable gate give him a workable setup to hold a position and be competitive late.

Consistent at Istanbul with two recent 3rds over 2100m and 2200m on GOOD, finishing behind Richwood and Güneyim while carrying 51kg. Drops 300m in trip and draws barrier 6 (improved from 8), with A. Kaçmaz aboard again and a solid local record (12:0-1-5). Honest place form suggests another competitive showing.
