Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8
NO MORE SORROW (11) brings the strongest recent form, coming off a 2nd of 16 at Istanbul over 1500m on 6 May and a prior 3rd over 1500m, and looks suited rising to 1900m. FIBER (8) was 5th of 16 in the same 1500m race and draws well to hold a spot. HAŞARI (3) was 3rd at Istanbul over 1900m eight days ago and stays at the trip. BIG RUGGED (1) has mixed distances but did place 2nd at Izmir over 1200m in April and was 4th over 2000m here in March, suggesting the 1900m is within range. FINALLY IDYLL (2) owns two recent 1900m thirds and can be around the mark again.
