Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
KESTEL YIĞIDI (1) maps well from barrier 1 and is on a short turnaround after back-to-back 2nds at Istanbul, most recently over 1600m on 17 Jul; drops 200m and reunites with H.Karataş, who was aboard for that latest run. ÇILDUTAY (7) also backs up seven days after a 4th over 1600m at Istanbul and has prior 1200m 2nds at Ankara and Kocaeli this prep, making the 200m drop a plus. ALPLI (3) gets a better barrier than last start (10 to 5) and comes back 200m after a 5th over 1600m here; earlier Istanbul thirds at 1200m and 1300m read well. TOROSOĞLU (5) resumes after 42 days with solid Istanbul efforts this prep, including 4th over 1300m, and steps to 1400m from a handy gate.

Fourth-up and backing up on a 7‑day turnaround after a 6th of 11 over 1600m at Istanbul, with M A Akgöbek aboard. Drops 200m in trip and shifts from barrier 2 to 10, having previously finished 9th of 11 over 1400m at Kocaeli. Needs to lift but the short turnaround and return to this distance could help.

Back from a 1600m Istanbul run 7 days ago when 5th of 10 from barrier 10, and now draws better in 5 with a 200m drop to 1400m. Earlier in the prep posted back‑to‑back thirds at Istanbul over 1200m and 1300m. With solid recent metro placings and a handier gate, a competitive showing looks within reach.

On a short turnaround after a 5th of 11 over 1600m at Istanbul seven days ago from barrier 10, he now draws handier in 4 and drops 200m. Earlier 5th/9 and 6th/8 at 1000m suggest he’s been competitive without breaking through this season (4:0-0-0). With 57kg again and A.yildiz aboard for the stable, a similar showing is within reach.

Fourth-up and improving with each Istanbul run, latest a 4th of 12 over 1300m on 12 Jun behind Koca Kaptan. Steps up 100m from the prior 1200m effort and draws barrier 6 after racing from 4 last time; carries similar profile to recent outings. Honest profile this prep suggests he can hold his form.

Back on a short turnaround after finishing 8th of 11 over 1600m at Istanbul seven days ago, and now drops 200m. Earlier runs this prep included a 4th of 11 over 1200m and a 5th of 12 over 1300m, hinting his best efforts have come at the shorter trips. Draws barrier 3, which is an improvement from last start and could help him settle handier.

Consistent of late with three runner-up finishes this prep, including 2nd at Ankara over 1200m in a 3Y MDN on 2 Jul carrying 59kg behind Astara Laçin. On a 7‑day turnaround after a 4th at Istanbul over 1600m from barrier 11, and now draws barrier 7 with M. Kaya aboard, aligning with a 0-2 record for this jockey-trainer pairing. Honest profile suggests he can be competitive again at this trip.

Second-up after a solid 4th of 15 at Elazig over 1200m in a 3Y MDN FILLIES, drawn well again with barrier 2. She sat handy from barrier 3 there and wasn’t far off the placegetters behind Son Kraliçe. Small rise to 1400m looks suitable at this stage of her prep.

Second-up and on a short turnaround after a 3rd of 9 at Ankara over 1200m six days ago, drawn widest and carrying 55kg. Sticks with the same trainer and shifts up 200m, having boxed on to fill the placings behind Kilinç Ağa and Melihcim from barrier 9. In the mix again with natural improvement at this stage of the prep.
