Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8
KIR ZINCIRLERINI (6) looks a key chance after finishing 2nd at Istanbul over 1000m last start. BAYDARBEY (4) also appeals, coming off a 3rd in the same race. BABA BALYOZ (2) was 4th in that event and can be considered for the minors. KORGÜN (7) finished 5th at Istanbul over 1000m and is another to note. Others need to improve on recent efforts.
