Istanbul Race 4 - Race 4
BAY MENTOR (3) maps as a leading chance second up after a debut 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m in 2Y COND 1, and draws better in barrier 4. SPIDER (1) brings consistent juvenile form with two 3rds at Istanbul, including over 1200m in 2Y COND4 nine days ago and has a strong 1200m record (2:0-1-1). ŞAHAP BAŞKAN (7) was 3rd on debut at Ankara over 1200m and gains the inside draw. YONCAHAN (10) is second up and improved prospects from a much better barrier after a first-up 3rd at Izmir over 1200m.

Consistent 2YO with a this season record of (4:0-1-2) and thirds at Istanbul over 1300m and 1200m, including a 3rd in 2Y COND4 last start. Returns to 1200m where his record is (2:0-1-1) but rises 5kg to 60kg and shifts to barrier 9. Honest profile at the track and trip suggests he can be competitive again.

Second-up after a 68-day break and drops to 55kg, having debuted at Istanbul over 1200m when 7th of 7 from barrier 8. Draws better in barrier 6 and stays at the trip, so natural improvement is possible at this stage of the prep.

Debuted at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, finishing 3rd of 7 from barrier 5 under 57kg, and now returns second up from barrier 4. With the same weight and a slight draw improvement, that solid first run sets a sound platform to build on.

Debutant 2YO for N.esen with H.karataş booked and 57kg from barrier 10. Draw isn’t ideal first time out, but stable/jockey engagement gives this newcomer a tidy platform to show ability.

Third-up and drops to 53kg after carrying 57kg at Kocaeli over 1500m when 6th of 8 on 1 Sep (TB, good), drawn barrier 7 after barrier 4 there. Prior run was 8th of 11 at Istanbul over 1300m (2Y COND, good) from a wide gate (12) on 14 Aug. The lighter weight and slight barrier improvement give him a cleaner setup to progress.

Debutant 2YO by Zelzal out of Restless for trainer H.boyraz, drawn barrier 8 and set to carry 57kg with A.yildiz booked. Low draw pressure and a neutral gate should allow a straightforward run, and the setup looks uncomplicated for a first outing.

Debuted 17 days ago at Ankara over 1200m (TB) and boxed on for 3rd of 7 behind Emanet, carrying 57kg from barrier 3. Second-up now and draws the inside gate, which should aid his position in the run. Solid debut sets a sound platform to progress.

Runner-up two back in a 2Y MDN FILLIES over 1400m at Ankara, then held 4th of 11 at Adana over 1400m (TB) 12 days ago. Drops 200m today and draws barrier 2, with a consistent preparation that includes a second this season. Well placed from the gate to give a competitive account.

Second-up after a 5th of 11 at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y MDN 16 days ago, carrying 55kg from barrier 8 behind Asil Kraliçe. Drops 100m and draws better in barrier 5, which could help build on that effort. Measured progression gives this lightly raced 2yo some upside.

Second-up after a solid debut 3rd at Izmir over 1200m (TB) two weeks ago, drawn wide that day (barrier 10) and now improving to barrier 3. Drops from 57kg to 55kg and sticks to the same trip, which suits given the fast start to the prep. Well placed to build on that initial effort.
