Istanbul Race 4 - Race 4
WHITEWALKERS (4) profiles best back to 1300m at Istanbul, having won here at the trip on 22 Jul and then running 3rd at Istanbul over 1400m on 7 Aug with 54kg. EGOISTA (2) is a key danger with a strong Istanbul record (4: 2-1-0) and a recent 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m on 7 Aug with 54kg, and returns quickly after an Ankara 1200m 4th on 18 Aug. NON MOLLARE (5) comes off a 1200m Istanbul win on 9 Aug (2Y COND, 54kg) and was 2nd at 1300m at Ankara on 21 Jul with 57kg. KING BALDWIN (3) won a 1400m 2Y COND at Bursa on 10 Aug carrying 55kg and fits into the mix.

Two wins from the first three Kocaeli starts, including a 1200m success under Nevzat Avci̇ and a subsequent 1400m win, before a 4th of 7 last time over 1400m on GOOD with 57kg behind Meloncitto. Draws barrier 2 after barrier 5 and owns a prior win from inside gates (1–3); reunites with Avci̇ (jockey record 1:1-0-0, trainer-jockey 1:1-0-0). Fourth-up after 19 days, a return to that earlier form would see him competitive.

Proven at Istanbul (4:2-1-0), highlighted by a 1200m win on Jul 10. On a short 7-day turnaround after 4th of 5 at Ankara over 1200m on Aug 18 behind True Action, having previously finished 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m on Aug 7 behind Rattlesnake. Track form is a positive and recent runs suggest competitive prospects.

Impressed last start winning a 2Y COND at Bursa over 1400m on GOOD, from barrier 7 with 55kg, defeating Hawk in a 7-runner field. Earlier in the prep he was 3rd at Izmir over 1400m behind Emperor and Lille Hammer. With M.akyavuz boasting a 2:1-0-1 record on him, he looks to hold his form 15 days on.

Returns to 1300m at Istanbul where he’s 1:1-0-0, having won here two starts back. Last time was 3rd of 7 over 1400m (GOOD) here 18 days ago from barrier 7 under 54kg, behind Rattlesnake and Egoista. Back 100m and an improved barrier 5 look suitable, and the rider has a 4:1-2-1 record on him, so he profiles to run well.

Last start Istanbul 1200m 2Y COND winner on 9 Aug carrying 54kg in a 6-runner field, with Cose Della Vita the runner-up. Prior effort was a 2nd at Ankara over 1300m in 2Y COND1 carrying 57kg behind Royal Dynasty in a 10-runner race. Draws better in barrier 3 than last start and looks to keep progressing third-up.

Draws barrier 1, which should afford a soft run if beginning well. A 2YO by King David out of Fatma In My Heart, partnered by İ.koyuncu for S.günaydin, and the inside gate could help make the most of the setup.
