Istanbul Race 6 - Race 6
GIANT WAVE (8) appeals second up after a debut 2nd at Ankara on 22 Aug over 1400m (TB) carrying 57kg, and should relish the step to 1600m. ANSHBA SKY (4) brings solid juvenile form with a 1200m Istanbul win on 5 Aug and then 2nd at Ankara over 1400m (TB) on 3 Sep at 57kg. YONAGUNI (1) is on a 7‑day turnaround after breaking maiden at Bursa over 1200m on 18 Sep and maps well from barrier 3. PRAVDA (6) draws barrier 1 and comes off a Bursa TB win over 1400m on 4 Sep with 54kg, keeping the same jockey.

Back on a short 7-day turnaround after breaking through at Bursa over 1200m (2Y MDN) from barrier 3 with Akin Sözen, and he draws barrier 3 again. The runner had finished 2nd at Ankara over 1400m prior, behind Afamia, and owns a solid record from inside alleys (2:1-1). With the step up in trip of 400m and a jockey booking that delivered his win, this looks a workable set-up.

On a short turnaround after finishing 5th of 7 in a 1200m 2Y OPEN at Istanbul nine days ago, and now stretches 400m in trip. Earlier this prep he won over 1300m at Bursa and has twice placed from wide alleys, while his barrier record from 7–10 reads (2:0-2-0). Solid juvenile profile and the extra ground could suit if he holds that consistency.

Closed well for 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y OPEN nine days ago from barrier 2, with E. Aktuğ aboard. Draws barrier 2 again and steps up 400m, with solid recent placings also including a 3rd at Bursa over 1300m. Consistent at this prep and looks suited by the draw and rise in trip.

Comes in off a narrow 2nd at Ankara over 1400m (TB) 22 days ago from barrier 5 with 57kg, having previously broken through at Istanbul over 1200m (2YF MDN) from the outside barrier 11. Proven at Istanbul (1:1-0-0) and draws 8 here after a wide gate last win, with a slight rise of 200m from that success back to 1400m since. Solid juvenile profile this season (2:1-1-0) suggests another competitive showing.

Fourth-up and progressing, breaking through at Bursa over 1400m (TB) when winning from barrier 2 under 57kg, with Underground the runner-up. That followed a 3rd in a 2Y MDN at the same track/trip and a debut 6th at Izmir over 1200m, so the 200m rise since early runs appears to have suited. Draws barrier 4 here and arrives with a solid platform for another forward showing.

Draws the inside after breaking through at Bursa over 1400m (TB) 21 days ago under Eren Kadirler, with the same trainer-jockey combo now 1:1-0-0. Steps back 200m and carries 54kg again; barrier 1 should afford a soft run. Progressive profile this prep suggests he can hold form.

Progressive 2YO with a recent sequence of 2nd, 3rd and 5th at Bursa over 1200-1300m, chasing home Perhaps and Ponca in the last two runs. Drops 300m and draws barrier 5 after racing from 6 last start, which could help her settle handier; measured each-way claims on exposed Bursa form.

Promising debut at Ankara over 1400m in TB class, finishing 2nd of 8 behind Hegemonya, and now returns second-up. Steps out 200m in trip from barrier 6 with H. Karataş aboard, which looks a sensible progression off that run. Respectable chance to build on that opening effort.
