Istanbul Race 2 - Race 2
MAKINIST (1) comes off a debut win at Istanbul over 1600m and looks the one to beat dropping to 1400m. RAYMOND BABBITT (5) was runner-up last start at Izmir over this trip and is a key chance. ROYAL TOUCH (11) scored at Bursa last time and brings winning form. LAND OF LEGENDS (2) has placed in four of his last five, including a recent third at Istanbul over 2000m. WADRON (7) has two wins and two seconds from five starts but needs to rebound from a last-start sixth. These runners shape as the main contenders based on recent performances.
