Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8

MR ÇIRAK (3) maps well off his Istanbul 2000m record (2: 1-1) and was 2nd in a Group 2 here over 2000m on 28 Jun, drawing barrier 1 again. CALVADOS (1) is race-fit and consistent this season (2: 1-1), and comes off a 2nd at Istanbul over 2000m on 2 Sep; draws better today from barrier 4 after jumping from 9 there. MR TT (4) is progressive, winning his last two at 2200m and 2000m, and drops 200m from a 2200m Istanbul win on 21 Aug; now fourth-up. METAL HEART (2) brings a recent Ankara 1500m win on 27 Aug and draws barrier 2, but rises 500m in trip which is a new query at this level.

Comes here in-form, with this season’s 2:1-1-0 and a strong Istanbul record (2:1-1). Last start at Istanbul over 2000m in a 3UP HCP he drew 9 and finished 2nd behind The Butcher, and he’s better placed from barrier 4 today. Proven at 1500m with two recent wins and placed at 2000m, so the setup looks suitable.

Comments

Comes off a 1500m Ankara 3Y win 22 days ago (60kg, barrier 3), beating King Luther in a small field. Prior to that was 4th of 5 in an Istanbul GROUP 3 3Y over 2100m and contested a deep 2400m GROUP 1 3Y, so today’s 500m drop in trip looks a positive reset. Drawn barrier 2 and owns a strong low-draw record (barriers 1-3: 11:6-0-1), giving him a solid platform to hold form.

Proven at Istanbul 2000m (track/distance 2:1-1) and drawn barrier 1 again, he returns from an 82-day break with strong figures. Last start he was 2nd in an 18-runner GROUP 2 3Y at Istanbul over 2000m from barrier 1 under 58kg on GOOD, behind Shadow Soldier. Consistent profile and the setup suits for a bold showing.

Progressive 3YO coming off back-to-back wins at Ankara (2000m) and Istanbul (2200m), the latest a 3Y HCP from barrier 7 on Good going. Drops 200m here and draws well in barrier 3, with an unbeaten record at track and trip ranges this prep. Set up reads well for another forward showing.
