Istanbul Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: -

RICHWOOD (3) appeals most with wins at Istanbul and a 2100m victory three starts back, plus consistent recent form and a suitable trip. BARBOOM (4) is a solid threat from the inside draw, holding a string of placings including multiple 2100m thirds that read well for this. FINALLY ITS TIME (1) can be competitive back to 58kg and comes off a 5th over 2000m here after a 2400m placing earlier in the campaign. RAKEL (5) has a prior 2100m Istanbul third and a handy record from wide gates, so can improve. Leaning to RICHWOOD (3) to outstay them.

Carries 58kg after dropping from 61.5kg since the last start, which is a notable relief. Ran 5th of 11 over 2000m at Istanbul on 8 Nov on GOOD3 and was also 5th of 11 over this trip here on 13 Sep on GOOD. Steps to 2100m again at the same track and brings consistent midfield efforts. With the weight drop and prior experience at the trip, Finally Its Time can give a competitive account.

Comments

Proven on GOOD ground with a (10:2-3-1) record on the condition adds confidence for the step to 2100m. Last start at Bursa over 1700m returned 4th of 7, and a similar draw looks no issue given solid returns from barriers 4-6 (7:2-2-1). E. Akpinar takes the ride for M. Aydoğdi. Işıls A Melina profiles as a steady chance off reliable track-condition and barrier stats.

Comments

Back to 2100m at Istanbul where she scored 1st of 11 on 13 Sep, and her latest run over 2200m here was a solid 4th of 10 on GOOD. Placed in 3 of last 5 and owns a strong course record (6:2-1-1). Barrier profile is a plus, with 3 wins and a third from six starts when drawn 4-6. With İ. Akyavuz up for Ke. Yilmaz, this looks a suitable set-up to hold form.

Consistent profile with placed in 5 of last 5, and a strong 2100m base shown by 3 thirds from 3 at the trip. Last start at Ankara over 2100m he boxed on for 3rd of 7, and now drops from 59.5kg to 55kg which suits this staying test. Also has proven Istanbul credentials (3:1-0-1). With the weight relief and reliable recent efforts, Barboom can be competitive again.

Third up and back to 2100m at Istanbul, where she was 3rd of 12 on GOOD on 10 Jul. From similar wide barriers (7-10) she’s (3:1-0-1), so a draw like this has worked before. Mixed recent form, but the prior Istanbul run at the trip gives her a platform to be competitive here.

Closed 4th of 13 over 1500m at Istanbul on 30 Oct on good ground, suggesting some competitiveness. Steps to 2100m and keeps A. Yildiz, which could suit the profile. With a small field of 8, Shining Life gets a chance to build on that recent effort.

Draws better from barrier 3 after jumping from 6 last time and drops from 54kg to 50kg, which should help. Last start at Istanbul over 1300m on GOOD ground finished 9th of 18, and now stretches to 2100m. With Zül. Aydoğdi riding for E. Uslu, the softer draw and light weight offer a more suitable set-up.

Second up and stretches from 1500m to 2100m, which gives a different look to her setup at Istanbul. Worked with A. Kaçmaz for 3 starts and has twice placed for the C. Turan stable under him. Last start was 12th of 17 here over 1500m on 21 Oct. Scope to improve stepping out in trip with an established rider–trainer combination.
