Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
KESTEL YIĞIDI (1) sets the standard with three Istanbul placings this prep, including 2nd at Istanbul over 1600m on 17 Jul and 2nd over 1500m on 16 Aug, and stays near the speed from barrier 6 carrying 61kg. DELININ GÜCÜ (4) draws well in barrier 3 and was a solid 3rd at Istanbul over 1500m on 16 Aug with 57kg, suggesting the mile suits. ŞELEMZAR (3) is third-up and reunites with a jockey he’s placed with; his 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m on 7 Aug reads well if he handles 1600m. HAMZA KIZI (8) has a 1200m Istanbul 2nd on 19 Jul and gets another chance up to 1600m from barrier 10 with 55kg.

Ultra-consistent at Istanbul with 4 seconds from 7 runs, including runner-up efforts at 1200m, 1600m and most recently 1500m 12 days ago under 60kg. Back to 1600m suits given the prior 2nd here over the mile, and he carries 61kg from barrier 6 with E. Çankaya again engaged; another bold showing is on the cards.

Consistent at Istanbul with a (5:0-3-1) track record, including three consecutive 2nds over 1200–1400m before a 7th from a wide gate (barrier 13) last time. Drops 400m in trip and draws barrier 8 after working from wider alleys in several recent runs, and now carries 60kg. Genuine chance to bounce back to the minors given the prior string of placings.

Runner-up over 1200m at Istanbul on 7 Aug (GOOD) carrying 59kg, and now third-up with a strong course profile (Istanbul: 5:0-3-0). Last start was 7th over 1600m here from barrier 9, and he now rises 3kg to 60kg. Consistent with this jockey (0:3 seconds from 3 rides) and on a short turnaround at 9 days, he’s capable of being in the finish back to his better form.

Closed into 3rd at Istanbul over 1500m 12 days ago from barrier 11 behind Arden Tuna/Bozalan, and now draws much better in barrier 3. Consistent this prep with placings at Kocaeli (1400m) and Istanbul, and sticks to 57kg; a repeat of the latest run has him right in the mix.

Third-up and back from a tough 12th of 12 over 1500m at Istanbul 12 days ago, having previously run 2nd of 10 over 1300m there. Draws better in barrier 2 and stays around a similar trip with 57kg; capable of a rebound if reproducing that debut second.

Third-up and consistent at Istanbul with a 4th of 10 over 1300m on Aug 2 and a 6th of 12 over 1500m on Aug 16, both on GOOD going at 57kg. Draws barrier 12 again and steps up 100m, so a clean run-in will be key to building on that solid start to the prep.

Comes back on a short turnaround and is fourth-up, with the barrier improving to 4 after drawing 1 last time at Kocaeli over 1400m. Earlier 1200m runs here included a 7th of 11 (GOOD) and an 8th of 11, and she now drops to 54kg with a new jockey booked. Needs to lift on those figures but the softer draw and slight drop in trip could help.

Third-up and coming off a 3rd of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul on 7 Aug from barrier 15, finishing behind Arabian Nights and Pavla. Steps up 400m to today’s trip and rises 4kg to 55kg, with a slightly better draw in 13; her prior 4th over 1200m in a 3Y FILLIES COND adds consistency. Genuine claims if she runs out the extra journey.

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround after finishing 12th of 15 over 1400m at Kocaeli on 20 Aug (AR, 54kg). Prior runs were 13th/15 and 9th/13 at Istanbul over 1200m, and she now comes back 200m to that trip with 55kg. Draws the inside barrier, which could help her settle better and find improvement.
