Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
FINAL LEGEND (5) maps as a leading chance second up after winning a 1300m 2Y COND 1 at Ankara on 12 Sep from barrier 4 with H Karataş, and draws barrier 2 here. BOMBOLONI (4) is also second up and comes off a Bursa 1300m TB win on 11 Sep from barrier 2, now draws the rail. ARBITRAGE (3) resumes second up after an Istanbul 1300m TB debut win on 21 Aug with Akin Sözen and stays in the same rider-trainer combo. SHIMMER (9) brings solid Istanbul form including 3rd over 1400m TB on 13 Sep behind Touch Of Glory and KRALIÇE BADE, and was a 1300m winner here on 24 Jul.

On a short turnaround after finishing 6th of 7 over 1300m at Ankara on 19 Sep (TB, 55kg) behind Radagia, and now rises 300m in trip. Earlier placed 4th of 5 over 1400m at Ankara (2Y COND, 55kg) on 25 Aug behind En Passant, so the return to this sort of distance looks reasonable. Barrier 7 has produced a win for this runner previously per the barrier record, offering a balanced setup.

Comes here on a short turnaround (12 days) after a solid 4th at Istanbul over 1200m in 2Y OPEN, and now shortens up 400m from recent 1500m/1400m runs. Best recent effort was a 2nd at Kocaeli over 1400m in August behind Puyol, and the barrier trends (4–6: 5 starts, 1-1-2) are a positive with gate 6 today. Consistent juvenile who maps to be competitive again from a handy draw.

Impressive debut winner at Istanbul over 1300m on good ground, scoring from barrier 5 under Akin Sözen with 57kg. Second-up now and rises 300m in trip from a wider gate (10), with the same rider and trainer combination that are 1:1 together. Progressive profile suggests he can measure up again if he handles the extra distance and draw.

Comes second-up from barrier 1 after a debut-season win at Bursa over 1300m (TB) 17 days ago, scoring from gate 2 with 57kg on GOOD going. Prior run was a 2nd at Ankara over 1000m, so the 300m rise last time clearly suited; draws to get a soft run again and looks to be progressing.

Debuted with a 1300m Ankara 2Y COND 1 win 16 days ago, leading to a perfect this season/jockey combo record (1:1-0-0) and now returns second-up. Draws barrier 2 after jumping from 4 last time and stretches 300m, with H Karataş sticking for A İpek. Progressive profile and the soft draw should give the runner every chance to build on that start.

Closed last start with a 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m (TB) 15 days ago under 55kg, with Özcan Yildirim aboard. She returns to a middle draw (barrier 5) and steps back 200m, and her Istanbul record (5:1-1-0) suggests she’s effective here. Genuine chance to hold form.

Dominant debut winner at Istanbul over 1300m on good going, scoring from Rebel Millionaire under 55kg and Gökhan Kocakaya. Second-up now with the same rider and an improved barrier from 6 to 9, and steps up 300m in trip. Progressive profile suggests he can measure up again.

Returns to 1200m after two 4ths over 1400m at Istanbul, with a slightly better draw moving to barrier 4. Track record reads (8:1-1-1) and includes a prior 1200m win here, and he comes back on a 15-day turnaround. Consistent at this venue and the setup looks suitable for another honest showing.

Brings solid Istanbul juveniles’ form, including a 1300m 2Y COND win and a 2nd over 1300m behind Art Of Victory. Latest run was 3rd of 7 over 1400m (TB) 15 days ago, and she draws barrier 8 after jumping from 5 there; the 200m rise from recent 1200m efforts looks within her range. Genuine contender to hold a position and give a sight at the trip.

Returns from a 73-day break with a favourable barrier 3 and a notable 400m drop back in trip, which could suit given her early 2Y win at Elazig over 1100m. Her last two runs were tougher—6th of 6 at Kocaeli (1200m) then 9th of 9 at Istanbul—but she had previously run 2nd at Elazig in a 2Y COND FILLIES behind Victory Xece. Capable of better back to a shorter journey and a softer draw.
