Istanbul Race 7 - Race 7
ERHANHAN (3) is third up and comes off back-to-back Istanbul wins, including a last-start 1200m 3Y HCP 15 victory on 23/08 beating AKERBEY (1), and looks to handle the rise to 1400m. AKERBEY (1) is on a short turnaround and has a strong Istanbul record (2:1-1), chasing ERHANHAN (3) when 2nd over 1200m last time and draws barrier 5 again. MISILLEME (4) brings recent 1400m form after a 2nd at Ankara on 18/08 and can settle closer from barrier 6. ÜSTÜNSOY (5) is consistent this prep with 2nd at Bursa (1200m) then 3rd at Istanbul prior, and has placed at 1400m here.

Rock-solid at Istanbul with a (2:1-1-0) track record and returns on a short turnaround after a 2nd over 1200m in a 3Y HCP 15 from barrier 5. Proven at 1100–1300m with three wins in his last five, and he again draws well in 5 with 58kg. Holding form and suited at the trip, he profiles as a reliable chance.

Draws the inside gate after a tough run from barrier 3 here 12 days ago over 1400m, and his best draw stats are solid (barriers 1-3: 3:1-1-0). Earlier in the prep he was a close 4th at Ankara over 1400m, and he owns a win at Istanbul. The soft draw and return to 1400m give him a chance to settle closer and improve.

Undefeated this season (2:2-0-0) and at the track (2:2-0-0), arriving third-up and on a short turnaround of 8 days. Won at Istanbul over 1300m on 2 Aug (GOOD) with 57kg under Gökhan Kocakaya, then scored again over 1200m on 23 Aug (GOOD) with 52kg; Kocakaya reunites from barrier 3. Progressive profile and the 200m rise back in trip from the latest win should be within scope.

Comes off a narrow 2nd at Ankara over 1400m 13 days ago, drawn wide in 8 and carrying 53kg, splitting Dedemhamzareis and the rest. Prior Ankara win at 1600m on firm ground with Cabirekizim 2nd highlights versatility across trips. Barrier 6 today is an improvement and the recent consistency suggests another forward showing.

Arrives off a close 2nd at Bursa over 1200m (3Y COND, 57kg) 10 days ago, with the same jockey up and a better barrier today. Proven at Istanbul with a (4:1-0-2) track record and placed at the track/trip, and the slight step to 1400m looks within scope. Genuine chance to hold form back to this circuit.

On a short turnaround after finishing 5th at Istanbul over 1400m in 3Y FILLIES COND 6 from barrier 2 with 59kg. Proven at 1400m (2:1-0-0) and at the track (3:1-0-0), and the rider has an excellent record on her (5:3-0-0) with a strong jockey-trainer strike rate (3:2-0-0). Barrier 2 again should give her every chance to hold a position and bounce back.
