Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
MAJESTUOSA (5) impressed winning at Istanbul over 1200m 12 days ago and stays at the trip from a midfield barrier, now third-up. SECRET OF DRAGON (1) also scored at Istanbul over 1200m 12 days ago and is 1/1 at the track and trip, with A. Sözen again aboard. BACKTRACK (3) is racing well this prep; won an 1100m maiden at Istanbul then ran 2nd over 1200m 10 days ago and draws the inside. VICTORY XECE (9) brings solid provincial form, beating BIR RÜZGAR at Elazig over 1200m before a 2nd at Kocaeli eight days ago, and maps to get a soft run from gate 5.

Arrives off a 1200m Istanbul win 12 days ago, beating Red Victory, and is unbeaten at the trip and track-distance (1:1-0-0). Consistent juvenile this season (4:1-1-1) with proven rapport with A. Sözen, and the barrier 7 draw looks workable for another forward showing.

Third-up after a 68-day break, he brings a sharp Istanbul 800m profile (2:1-1) including a May win over Easy On Me. Steps up 400m from those sprints and draws barrier 4 after racing from wider last time, with the same jockey-trainer combination that has gone 2:1-1 this season. Progressive 2yo with suitable gate and proven partnership to give this new trip a look.

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround after finishing 6th of 6 over 1200m at Kocaeli eight days ago. Prior to that she was runner-up over 1200m at Elazig in a 2Y COND FILLIES, carrying 60kg behind Victory Xece, and won her 1100m debut at Elazig. Draws barrier 2 and can settle handier than last time, which gives her a chance to rebound.
