Istanbul Race 7 - S.i̇.a.y. Ve Sah.der.
GÜVENIKA (4) brings strong 1400m credentials after winning a TB at Istanbul over 1400m on 06-09 (55kg) and had previously placed 3rd in a 2Y G1 at Ankara; holds form and sticks to the trip. BELLEZA (2) is in form with a 1500m TB win at Istanbul on 11-09 (57kg) and has a 2Y GROUP 3 win earlier in the prep; proven on soft per stats. ELITE TOUCH (3) maps well from barrier 4 and was 3rd in the 1400m TB at Istanbul on 28-08 behind Majestuosa and BELLEZA (2); consistent with solid jockey and trainer combo stats. SHADE OF AMIDALA (8) won at this track and trip on 19-08 and is back from 1500m; barrier improves to 6 from 2 last start.

Third-up and draws barrier 3 after breaking through at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y MDN, defeating Equalizer, and now rises 2kg to 57kg. Earlier in the prep he was posted wide from barrier 11 when 7th over 1400m, so the softer gate should aid his run style. Solid winning platform and a more favourable setup suggest he can hold form at this trip.

Prolific at the track (CurrentTrack 7:5-1-0) and arrives off a 1500m Istanbul win 14 days ago, defeating The Last Dragon at 57kg. Also holds a 1400m second at Istanbul this prep and retains strong synergy with the rider overall (CurrentJockey 2:2-0-0). Draws barrier 9 again and profiles as a solid chance to hold form.

Proven at Istanbul with a consistent profile (track record 4:1-2-1) and a strong rapport with H Karataş (jockey record 3:1-2-0). Won over 1200m here two starts back under 57kg before a 3rd over 1400m last time, and he again draws well in barrier 4. Solid claims to hold his form at the trip.

Proven at Istanbul 1400m with a last-start win from barrier 8, and he returns here 19 days later up 2kg to 57kg. His season reads (3:1-0-2) with strong juvenile form including a Group 1 3rd at Ankara behind Haroldcooper, so this setup looks suitable again.

Brings a strong juvenile profile fourth-up, winning twice at 1200m including at Istanbul and then running 2nd over 1300m at Ankara last start. Carries 57kg from barrier 5 with a slight +2kg swing and a small distance drop of 100m, and retains solid stats at Istanbul (1:1-0-0). Genuine prospects if he holds that Ankara form.

Progressive two-year-old with a (2:2-0-0) start to his career before a 3rd of 5 over 1300m at Ankara 34 days ago, drawn the inside gate again. Returns to 1400m where he’s unbeaten (1:1-0-0) and rises 2kg to 57kg, which looks a manageable lift given his prior wins. With barrier 1 and steady juvenile form, he profiles to run well again.

Returns 11 days after a 3rd at Bursa over 1300m (TB) from barrier 5 under 60kg, and now drops to 57kg with a slight 100m trim in trip and barrier 7. Earlier wins at Istanbul and Bursa over 1000-1200m on good ground read well, both with Cem Altun aboard, and today he reunites with a jockey boasting a perfect (3:3-0-0) record on him. Genuine chance to run well again under these tweaks in setup.
