Istanbul Race 8 - Burhan Karamehmet
STATUE OF LIBERTY (5) sets the standard with 6 wins from 9 at Istanbul and arrives off a 1st over 1500m here on 24 Apr, having also been 2nd over 1400m to Ballad King prior. SUPER TOMO (6) chased him home when 2nd over 1500m on 24 Apr and had filled four straight placings at 1700–2100m before that, so is the main danger back to this trip. AIMUS LIBERATUS (1) won at 1500m at Antalya on 31 Mar and has a 1st and 2nd at this distance at Istanbul; draws barrier 1 and can bounce back from his Ankara 1900m 6th. MR ÇIRAK (4) brings recent seconds at Kocaeli 1500m and Istanbul 1400m and maps as a key chance at the trip. FIRE OF TYGAR (2) is consistent at 1400–1900m and was 3rd at Ankara 1500m last start; in the mix for minor money.
