Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
Timetex (3) appeals as the leading chance after consecutive 2nd placings at Istanbul over 1500m, most recently beaten only by Gilmour. RHYTHMOFTHESTARS (12) is a key danger, coming off a 2nd at Antalya over this trip two starts back. THE SPECIAL ONE (15) has been consistent, finishing 4th at Istanbul over 1500m last start and placing in four of six career runs. RED SMOKE (1) has placed in both previous 1500m attempts and brings solid overall form despite a last-start 10th. AGE OF SKY (4) resumes after a debut 3rd at Istanbul and could improve. These runners shape as the main hopes based on recent form and proven ability at the distance.
