Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8
KAHRAMAN FATIH (3) maps as the one to beat third up after a close 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m (3Y COND1) on 30/08 then 3rd in a 1300m 3Y MDN on 09/09; draws barrier 1 and steps to 1600m. NISAM (7) is consistent at Istanbul and was 3rd in a 1300m 3Y MDN on 09/09; gets an inside barrier 2 and has a prior 4th over 1600m here. BOZALAN (1) brings genuine Istanbul form this prep, including a 2nd over 1500m on 16/08 and a 4th at 1600m on 28/08; suited from barrier 3 with 59kg. ÖZGÜNDEN (9) is on a 7‑day turnaround and has recent 3rds at Kocaeli 1400m (20/08) and Izmir 1400m (03/09); back to 55kg and draws midfield.

Consistent Istanbul performer this prep, including a 2nd over 1500m on 16 Aug and two 4ths since, now returns nine days after a down-the-field run. Steps to 1600m with 59kg (up 2kg) and draws barrier 3, which is an improvement on last start. Honest recent efforts suggest he can be competitive again with a soft run from the gate.

Second-up after a 7th of 8 over 1400m at Istanbul (AR) 14 days ago, and now drops 200m. Draws barrier 5 after gate 2 last time, with A. Sözen back aboard as per his earlier 1200m run at the track. Still searching for a first Istanbul placing but may improve with the distance tweak.

Third-up and holding form, having placed at both Istanbul starts this season including a 2nd in a 1200m 3Y COND1 on 30 Aug (57kg, GOOD) behind Hizli Yasin. Followed with a 3rd in a 1300m 3Y MDN on 9 Sep, and now draws barrier 1 with a 300m rise in trip to test his progression.

Third-up after a solid 3rd at Istanbul over 1400m (AR) 14 days ago under 57kg, finishing behind Canozanim and Şeelemzar. Steps up 200m on the short turnaround and keeps the same rider-trainer combination that has already produced that placing; from barrier 9, a repeat of his latest effort would see him competitive again.

Draws much better here with barrier 4 after jumping from 12 and 14 at his last two runs, and comes off a 7th of 14 over 1400m at Kocaeli 10 days ago. Steps back to 1600m with 57kg (up 2kg from last start), and his best recent effort was a 4th over 1300m at Istanbul; a cleaner run in transit could see him hold his form.

Fourth-up and on a 14-day turnaround after a pair of 5th-place efforts at Bursa 1400m and Istanbul 1300m in AR grade, both on good ground with 57kg. Draws barrier 7 today (slight improvement from last start) and sticks to a similar trip with a 200m shift, suggesting a consistent setup for the runner to hold form.

Consistent Istanbul performer with multiple 4th-place efforts and a last-start 3rd in a 3Y MDN over 1300m on good ground. Steps up 300m to 1600m from barrier 2 at 57kg, with the current jockey-trainer combo showing a (6:0-1-1) record. Honest profile suggests she can be competitive again at this trip.

On a short turnaround of 11 days, the runner improved to 6th of 14 over 1500m at Bursa (AR) carrying 57kg. Returns to Istanbul with a 2kg drop to 55kg and a slight distance trim to 1400m; barrier 8 is unchanged from two of her recent city runs. Honest recent effort suggests she can hold her form back at this track.

On a short turnaround after finishing 8th of 21 over 1400m at Istanbul on soft, and now drops 2kg to 55kg with a 200m step back in trip from barrier 6. Prior to that he posted back-to-back 3rds at 1400m (Izmir and Kocaeli) from wide gates. The lighter weight and better draw could help him hold a handy spot and give a competitive account.
