Istanbul Race 9 - Race 9
WARDEN OF ROMANCE (10) brings the best recent figure, a 2nd at Ankara over 1300m on 14/07 (2Y MDN Fillies) with H. Karataş aboard, and the 100m drop suits. FURIOSA (2) is a danger off her Ankara 2nd over 1300m on 14/07 and earlier 3rd in a 1200m fillies conditions race; draws barrier 3. GRAVITAS (4) was 4th at Istanbul over 1200m on 15/07 and now draws the inside. TAŞKININ SEVDASI (9) wasn’t far off when 5th in that same 15/07 Istanbul 1200m and can hold a forward position despite a wider gate.

Third-up and back to Istanbul 1200m after finishing 7th of 7 over this trip on 3 Jul behind Secret Of Dragon. Prior debut was 10th of 10 over 1000m on 24 May, and now draws barrier 8 after jumping from 6 last time. Needs to lift on exposed figures at the track and trip.

Found the line well at Ankara over 1300m 20 days ago, finishing 2nd to Kupa Dokuzlusu from barrier 2 under 57kg. Prior run was a solid 3rd in a 2Y COND FILLIES over 1200m on SOFT, again behind Kupa Dokuzlusu. Drawn barrier 3 with Mert Gökalp Arslan, her recent progression suggests she can be competitive back to 1200m.

Second-up after a debut at Istanbul over 1200m where he drew barrier 11 of 10 and finished 9th behind Kinzhal on a GOOD track. He gets a much kinder draw in barrier 2 and stays at 1200m under 57kg. With that experience and the barrier improvement, he can show more.

Debuted 19 days ago at Istanbul over 1200m, finishing 4th of 10 behind Kinzhal in a good-track juvenile, and now returns second up. Draws barrier 1 after jumping from 4 last time, which could help him hold a spot. With the same rider engaged, he looks a plausible improver at this trip.

Promising second-up filly who debuted 20 days ago at Ankara in a 2Y MDN FILLIES over 1300m, finishing 3rd of 7 behind Equal Gold after drawing barrier 2 and carrying 57kg. She draws wider in 9 today but trims back 100m, which could suit off that solid first-up effort. Well-placed to build on that debut.

Second-up after a single 1200m run at Istanbul 19 days ago, finishing 6th of 10 from barrier 6 behind Kinzhal. Stays at 1200m and draws barrier 5, with no weight claim and the same trainer; looking to build on that debut experience at this track and trip.

Second-up after debuting 25 days ago at Kocaeli over 1200m, finishing 8th of 9 from barrier 3. Stays at 1200m and draws barrier 4, with F.s.m.sansar taking over from A Ceylan; natural improvement second-up would help.

Found improvement latest when 5th of 9 at Istanbul over 1400m (49kg) 26 days ago behind Sandokan after earlier unplaced juvenile runs. Drops back 200m and draws wider from barrier 10, with a light impost again. Holds Istanbul experience but is still searching for a breakthrough at the track and trip.

Debuted 19 days ago at Istanbul over 1200m, finishing 5th of 10 from the inside draw in a GOOD-track juvenile, behind winner Kinzhal. Second-up now with A.sözen aboard and a much wider barrier 11 after a 10-gate shift. Scope to improve with the run under the belt, though the draw could test.

Second-up after a narrow 2nd at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y MDN FILLIES, closing behind Equal Gold with 57kg from barrier 6. Drops slightly in trip to 1200m with a small barrier improvement to 7 and reunites with H. Karataş, who has a 0:0-1-0 record on the horse. Solid recent platform suggests she can run well again.
