Istanbul Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

ART OF VICTORY (1) sets the standard with 4 wins at Istanbul and a strong 2YO season, and a return to 1400m from a better gate suits despite a recent 7th. RADAGIA (4) looks the main danger after a close 2nd over 1300m here two starts back and has a lighter 53kg; if he holds that form at 1400m he’s right in it. LA MUNECA (3) is consistent with placings in four of the last five and has good Istanbul figures, but needs to lift off a 6th at 1600m back to this trip. DELICIAS TURCAS (5) has a 1400m win two starts ago and carries 52kg, though a wide-margin defeat last time tempers confidence. Lean ART OF VICTORY (1) in a tight race at 1400m.

Comments

Draws better here, moving from barrier 6 to 3 since the last run. From inside alleys 1–3 he’s 3:2-0-1, so the gate suits. Last start at Istanbul over 1200m on GOOD he finished 7th of 7, but the draw and step to 1400m offer a different setup. With G. Özçelik up, Art Of Victory has conditions to improve.

Comments

Placed in 3 of last 5 and comes off a 4th of 5 over 1200m at Istanbul on 16 Oct on GOOD. Drops 3kg to 53kg since that run, which can help stretching to 1400m. Handles GOOD with a (5:1-0-2) record and has mirrored that this season (5:1-0-2). With A. Yildiz up, Keje has reliable platform to be competitive.

Comments

Placed in 4 of last 5 reads solidly, and she has handled Istanbul with (4:0-1-2). Comes back to 1400m after a 1600m Ankara run when 6th of 6 on 22 Oct, which may suit better given her local record. F. Çetinbaş rides for H. Sunkar. Honest profile at this track gives her a chance to be competitive.

Comments

Placed in 3 of last 5 and profiles as a consistent 2yo for C. Kati. Drops from 58.5kg to 53kg and draws better moving from barrier 7 to 4, which looks a kinder set-up than the 5th of 6 over 1600m at Ankara on 22 Oct. Handles GOOD ground with a (9:2-2-2) record on the surface, and has been reliable this season (6:1-2-1). With A. Kaçmaz aboard, this looks a workable scenario to hold a forward presence in a small field.

Comments

Placed in 3 of last 5 and already a 1400m winner (3:1-0-1), which reads well for this trip. Drops 2kg to 52kg since the last run, a helpful tweak after finishing 12th of 13 over 1300m at Bursa on 23 Oct. Serh. Çelik sticks with H. Sunkar’s filly for a small field at Istanbul. Solid credentials at the distance and a lighter weight give her a chance to rebound.
