LION ICARDI (2) rates on top with solid 2200m credentials at Istanbul (2:0-1-1) and a recent 2nd here over 2200m on 12 Aug (3UP HCP, 55kg), backing up on a 7‑day turnaround after a 2200m run at Ankara. ENTERPRISING ROCK (1) is a danger with a 3-from-7 record at Istanbul and recent local wins at 2100m (17 Jul, 58kg) and 1900m (14 Jun), now facing a 300m distance change from his latest 1900m run. THIEF IN MARRAKESH (6) is knocking on the door with consecutive Istanbul maiden 2nds (1400m on 12 Aug from barrier 15, 58kg; 1900m on 24 Jul from barrier 13) but tackles a sharp 800m distance change. JACKAL TROUBLE (5) has competitive Istanbul form, placing 3rd at 2000m (19 Apr, 50kg) and 1900m (15 May, 51kg), and wasn’t far off at 2200m here on 27 May (5th, 52kg).

Second-up after 18 days, finished 10th of 14 at Bursa over 1800m (56.5kg, GOOD) behind Bahriyeli Çikok. Faces a 400m distance change from that run and draws barrier 4; earlier won a 1700m race at Antalya on 10 Apr, beating Shaera, so improvement second-up is feasible.

Has posted consecutive 2nds at Istanbul in 3Y MDN company, latest over 1400m on 12 Aug from barrier 15 behind Doğanhan, and prior over 1900m on 24 Jul from barrier 13 behind Yörükçem. Barrier improves to 10 and there’s an 800m distance change from last run; track record at Istanbul is (5:0-2-1). That consistent local profile reads well for another competitive run.

Finished 6th of 14 in a 3Y MDN at Istanbul over 1400m on 12 Aug (58kg, Good), behind Moon Stream. Earlier he was 3rd over 2100m here in a 3Y HCP 14 on 21 Jun (52kg) and 5th of 13 over 1900m on 24 Jul (58kg) from barrier 10. Draws barrier 2 and tackles an 800m distance change from last start; with just one placing from 14 runs at this track, a forward showing would be a solid result.

Third-up after finishing 11th of 14 in a 3Y MDN over 1400m at Istanbul 13 days ago from barrier 10 with 52kg, behind Bay Cavallo. Prior run was 12th of 12 over 1900m at the same track. Draws better in 7 this time and her Istanbul record (4:0-0-0) suggests she’ll need improvement, but the softer gate can aid a more economical run.
