Istanbul Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

BALDWIN (1) rates on top third-up after winning here over 1400m on 18 Oct (3UP COND 5) with 60kg, and he’s 2/5 at the trip plus 1/1 at the track/distance; draws 8 but his barrier stats 7–10 read well. ZIMBATRON (3) is a key danger off the 25 Sep Istanbul win at 1200m (TB) and now up 200m from a soft draw (barrier 3) with G. Kocakaya back aboard. THE KING SIAYER (5) resumes after 77 days and returns to 1400m where he’s 2/5, landing barrier 1 and down to 57kg. GREY GHOST (2) has been consistent with three straight 4ths into this and shortens to 1400m, with a positive jockey record for V. Abiș (2 seconds from 5).

Comments

Third-up and thriving this prep (2:1-1), he comes off a 1400m Istanbul win on good going carrying 60kg in a 5-runner 3UP COND 5, and is unbeaten at the track/distance (1:1-0-0). Strong at 1400m overall (5:2-0-0) with an excellent good-track profile (9:5-2-0), and draws barrier 8 where he owns a solid record from wide alleys. With 60kg again and a 14-day turnaround, he looks well placed to hold form.

Comments

Consistent of late with three straight 4th-place finishes at Istanbul, most recently over 1500m in a 3UP COND4 on 21 Oct carrying 58kg behind Beachcomber. Drops 100m to 1400m where he owns a solid record (4:1-0-2), and draws barrier 6 after barrier 2 last time. Honest recent efforts and proven at the trip suggest he can be competitive again.

Comes off a 1200m Istanbul win on 25 Sep (TB, soft) with Gökhan Kocakaya aboard, and now rises 200m to 1400m. Has yet to win at 1400m but owns a (3:0-1-0) record at the trip and a solid Istanbul profile (8:2-2-2), with barrier 3 and 58kg today. Proven with this jockey-trainer combo and drawn to get every chance.

Proven at 1400m with a solid record (5:2-1-0) and back to that trip today, dropping to 57kg. Draws barrier 1 and reunites with Ö. Yildirim, who has a 2:0-1-0 record on him, with a freshen of 77 days to reset after a 7th over 1600m at Istanbul. Well placed to improve back to his preferred distance.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 2, he drops to 52kg after carrying 60kg over 1200m first-up and 52kg over 1500m last time. Has a solid Istanbul record (52:8-6-9) and is 1-from-16 at the track and trip, so the setup suits without being a clear tonic. Capable of improving with the weight relief and gate.

First-up with a perfect prep record (1:1-0-0) and returns to Istanbul where he’s (3:1-0-1). Drops 2kg to 56kg and cuts back sharply in trip by 700m, with barrier 4 a slight improvement on last start. Recent wins at 1600m on good ground read well, suggesting a tidy setup if primed.
