Istanbul Race 4 - Race 4
SECRET OF DRAGON (5) appeals third-up after an Istanbul 1000m 2nd on 29 May, holding form with two placings this prep. KIMDRAKA (2) draws barrier 1 and was 2nd at Istanbul over 1000m on 24 May; on a short turnaround from Kocaeli. DELICIAS TURCAS (1) is fourth-up and on a 5-day turnaround after 4th at Istanbul over 1000m; earlier Ankara 2nd reads well. WISH YOU WERE HERE (8) has shown pace with 4th over 900m then 5th over 1000m at Ankara and can be around the mark up to 1100m.

Fourth-up and back within 5 days, he comes off a 4th of 6 over 1000m at Istanbul in a 2Y MDN, behind Egoista and Lady Roza. Prior to that he ran 2nd of 5 over 1000m at Ankara on GOOD, and was 3rd over 900m on debut, so his profile is consistent and the slight 100m lift poses no issue.

Third-up and on a short turnaround after a 5th of 6 over 1100m at Kocaeli on 9 Jun in a 2Y MDN. Previously ran 2nd of 10 at Istanbul over 1000m on 24 May, with Scythian the winner; draws barrier 1 here. Inside draw could help him find a position and build on that debut placing.

Second-up after a sole run at Istanbul on 24 May over 1000m when 7th of 10 from barrier 7. Draws better in gate 3 and stays near the trip with only a minor 100m shift, so natural improvement is possible at this stage of the prep.

Debutant from the E.uslu yard by Pinatubo out of Heywa, drawing barrier 4. G.kocakaya takes the ride, and the draw should afford a soft run to see what this 2yo can offer first time out.

Second-up after debuting at Istanbul over 1000m on 24 May, finishing 10th of 10 behind Scythian. Draws better in barrier 2 and sticks with Hak Yildiz; minor distance lift to 1100m may help build on that first-up experience.

Third-up after two Ankara runs, finishing 4th over 900m on debut then 5th over 1000m last time. Draws barrier 7 after the rails draw last start, and nudges up 100m in trip under 55kg. Honest so far and can hold a spot, with minor improvement within reach.
