Istanbul Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

DON ÇIÇI (4) appeals most off a debut 2nd over 1300m at Istanbul and should be suited rising to 1400m. BEST LINE (2) is a solid danger after finishing 2nd over 1500m two starts back and then 4th over 1300m; consistent at the track and drawn to get every chance. RECHARGE MY HEART (9) has claims second up after a 3rd over 1300m here on debut and maps to hold a handy spot from barrier 2. MIO ZIO (7) needs to lift off a 6th of 7 at this trip but draws the rail and can improve. Leaning DON ÇIÇI (4) in a race lacking exposed winners.

Back to Istanbul 1400m where 14 Oct run reads 8th of 8, then improved to 6th of 11 over 1300m on 1 Nov. Stays in the same grade and gets A. Kaçmaz aboard. Scope to continue that gradual lift at this trip for C. Turan.

Fourth up and draws better, coming into barrier 5 after jumping from 10 last time. Last start at Istanbul over 1300m on 1 Nov produced a 4th of 10. Stays in the same grade. With the improved gate and race fitness, Best Line can give a competitive showing at 1400m.

Remains at the same grade and stays at 1400m. Last run was 8th of 10 over 1400m at Istanbul on 4 Nov on good ground. With Er. Cankiliç booked, can look to improve on that experience.

Second up after a 2nd of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on 1 Nov. Steps to 1400m and stays in the same grade, which looks a natural progression. With M. Kaya up and that solid effort on record, Don Çiçi can build on it here.

Held 7th of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on 1 Nov and stays in the same grade. Up to 1400m with E. Bozdağ aboard, and any improvement second time at the track would see Dragon Prime more competitive.

Third up and back from 1500m after finishing 9th of 9 at Istanbul on 14 Oct on good ground, with A. Yildiz again booked. The shorter 1400m looks a more suitable ask at this stage of the prep. A measured chance to improve with race fitness and a familiar rider.

Second up and draws the inside after barrier 6 last time, which could afford a softer run. Last start was over 1400m at Istanbul on 28 Oct on good ground, finishing 6th of 7. With race experience and the gate shift to barrier 1, Mio Zio has scope to improve.

Fourth up and stays in the same grade after a 1400m run at Bursa on 30 Oct when 9th of 11. Draws on the limit of experience as a 2yo but keeps R. Ketme for M. Öcal. With race fitness built, a tidier showing at 1400m is within reach.

Second up and coming off a 3rd of 9 over 1300m at Istanbul on 30 Sep on good ground. Draws better from barrier 2 after jumping from 5 last time. Stays in the same grade. With that platform and a softer gate, Recharge My Heart has a solid chance to progress over 1400m.
