Istanbul Race 4 - Race 4
SHIMMER (3) brings the key form, having won over 1300m at Istanbul on 24 Jul in 2Y COND, defeating INNERBLOOM (2), and returns fourth-up with a strong track/distance record. INNERBLOOM (2) maps well from barrier 3 and has the same 24 Jul race as a solid reference, runner-up at 1300m; reunited with a jockey she has won with. TEPEKIZI (4) was 3rd behind that pair at Istanbul 1300m on 24 Jul and draws barrier 2. ART OF VICTORY (1) gets barrier 1 and drops to 56kg after a wide-gate 13th at Istanbul 1200m 10 days ago; earlier 800m win at the track shows some speed.

Draws the inside after jumping from 14 last time and drops 1kg to 56kg on a 10‑day turnaround. Earlier prep included an 800m Istanbul win and a 2nd on good going, while the latest two 1200m runs were well back behind Elite Touch and Majestuosa. The softer draw and slight weight relief give scope to lift back at Istanbul.

Progressive 2YO with a solid Istanbul profile (4:1-1-0), including a 1000m 2Y MDN win on good going and a last-start 2nd over 1300m in 2Y COND behind Shimmer. Back to the successful rider Enes Bozdağ (combo 1:1-0-0) and draws barrier 3, though he rises to 59kg from 55kg. Honest claims if he holds that recent 1300m form.

Progressive profile fourth-up, coming off a 1300m 2Y COND win at Istanbul 19 days ago from barrier 2 with Nevzat Avci, who rides again. Unbeaten at 1300m and at the track-distance (1:1-0-0), and overall Istanbul record reads (3:1-0-2) on good ground. Rises 5kg to 57kg but drawn well in barrier 5 and holds solid claims on that latest win.

Draws barrier 2 and rises 3kg to 57kg, coming off a 6th of 7 over 1200m at Bursa (2Y FILLIES COND) nine days ago. Prior to that she was 3rd of 4 at Istanbul over 1300m (2Y COND) on good going, and her records show a pair of thirds at the trip and track, plus solid numbers from inside barriers (4:1-0-2). With a short turnaround and a kinder draw, she has claims to run a competitive race.

Third-up and back to Istanbul 1300m after two 10th-place efforts, including last start over this trip on FAST behind Whitewalkers. Carries 54kg from barrier 6 with C. Yildirim aboard, an improved draw from his wide debut gate at 1200m on GOOD. Needs to lift but the softer map and lighter weight offer a chance to progress.

Back on a short turnaround after finishing 11th of 11 over 1200m at Istanbul on 5 Aug in a 2YF MDN from barrier 10. Drops 3kg to 54kg and draws barrier 4, with a slight 100m step up from that run. Needs to lift but the improved gate and lighter weight offer some hope for better.
