Istanbul Race 3 - Race 3
SOCIAL BEE (1) maps well from barrier 3 and brings strong local stats, including 5 wins at Istanbul and a perfect 1/1 at 2200m; last start won at Istanbul over 2200m with K.GÖKÇE, who is 2/2 on him. LAND OF LEGENDS (3) comes off a 2000m Istanbul win on 24 Jul and draws inside again; consistent this prep with placings at 1900m and 2100m prior. LAST HERO (2) rises 300m and has near-miss seconds at 2100m in April–May; on a 17-day turnaround and returns to a barrier range where he’s 1 win, 1 second from two. MIDNIGHT BLUE (5) is on a short turnaround after a 3rd at Kocaeli over 1800m and draws barrier 1, with prior 2000m and 1900m efforts suggesting the trip may suit.

Prolific at Istanbul with a strong course record (19:5-2-4) and unbeaten at this trip and course-distance (Istanbul 2200:1:1-0-0). Arrives 40 days between runs after back‑to‑back wins over 2000m and 2200m from low barriers, with K. Gökçe 2/2 aboard for this trainer. Drawn 3 again, the set-up suits and he profiles to hold form.

Proven at Istanbul with a solid record (10:2-2-1) and has twice run 2nd over 2100m in April and May behind Falconnidae. Comes here 17 days between runs and rises 300m from a 1900m 4th on Good, with A. Sözen back aboard and a favourable barrier profile (from gates 4-6: 2:1-1). Genuine staying credentials suggest he can be competitive again.

Arrives off a last-start Istanbul 2000m win from barrier 3, and now draws well in 2 with a slight step up in trip (+200m). Prior runs were solid, including 3rd over 2100m and 3rd in a 3Y HCP over 1900m with 61.5kg. Proven at the track (12:2-3-4) and has a positive rapport with M.s.Çelik (2:1-0-1), so holds sound claims.

Proved competitive at Ankara with back-to-back 2nds over 1300m and 2000m, including chasing home Gecenin Ateşi on 18 Jun carrying 54kg. Forgive the Istanbul run when posted from barrier 11; draws barrier 4 here and reunites with V. Abi̇ş, under whom it has a 2nd from one ride. With a favourable gate and solid recent figures, it has the setup to bounce back.

On a short turnaround after a solid 3rd at Kocaeli over 1800m in a 3Y HCP, and now draws barrier 1 after jumping from 9 there. Consistent at middle trips this prep with a win at 1700m and placings at 1800–2000m, and reunites with A. Kaçmaz who has a 1:0-1-0 record on him. Inside draw and proven recent form set him up to run well again.

Returns to Istanbul with solid recent staying form, including 4th of 6 over 2400m here on 29 Jul and a close 3rd over 2100m on 17 Jul. On a short turnaround (6 days) after a 4th of 10 in a 3Y HCP over 1800m at Kocaeli carrying 60kg, and now rises 400m in trip. Draws barrier 5 and meets a track where he’s been consistent (Istanbul record 11:1-3-2), so another honest showing is within reach.

Third-up and comes off a 2000m Ankara win 25 days ago from barrier 15 under 58kg, defeating Süper Han. Earlier finished 4th in a 3Y MDN over 1500m at Ankara. Draws barrier 7 here and steps back 200m, which looks a workable setup for a progressive type.
