Istanbul Race 1 - Race 1
ÜMITBEY (7) brings the strongest recent figure after a 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m on 5 Sep in 2Y MDN from barrier 7 and now draws 9 with a slight 100m drop, while SKY OF KHAN (6) comes back to 1200m after a 2nd over 1600m here on 20 Sep and retains Vedat Abiș; both look suited. TERRAFERMA (9) is fourth-up and off a Kocaeli 1400m 2nd on 22 Sep, and the inside draw (barrier 3) should help. HEART OF ÖNER (4) wasn’t far away when 5th of 7 over this trip here on 20 Sep and can be around the finish from barrier 4.

Draws the inside gate and backs up 12 days after finishing 6th of 7 over 1200m at Istanbul in TB class with 55kg. He’s fourth-up with multiple runs at the track and trip, and the barrier improvement from 5 to 1 could help him settle handier. A tidy map could see him produce a more competitive showing.

Second-up after a debut 3rd of 6 at Istanbul over 1300m (TB) 26 days ago, finishing behind Native Blossom and Rebel Millionaire. Steps back 100m and moves from the inside draw to barrier 7, which shapes a different run style setup. This looks a natural progression and he can build on that promising first outing.

Third-up after a 54-day break, he draws barrier 2 with E. Aktuğ aboard. Last start he was 10th of 10 in an Istanbul 2Y MDN over 1500m on GOOD, carrying 57kg behind Warrior Pointe; prior run was 7th of 10 over 1200m. The drop back to 1200m and a better gate give him a cleaner setup to improve.

Third-up and back at 1200m after a 5th of 7 at Istanbul on 20 Sep over 1200m (TB), drawn 2 and carrying 52kg. Earlier finished 9th of 10 at Izmir on 23 Aug over 1200m (TB) from barrier 6 with 53kg. Drawn barrier 4 today and on a 12-day turnaround, he looks to be building experience this prep.

On a short turnaround after finishing 4th of 12 at Kocaeli over 1400m (TB) 10 days ago, and now drops back 200m. His prior runs include 5th of 8 at Ankara over 1400m (GOOD) and 6th of 11 in a 2Y MDN at Istanbul over 1300m, all with 57kg. Honest recent efforts suggest he can be competitive again from barrier 8.

Improved sharply last time at Istanbul, running 2nd over 1600m in TB class 12 days ago with 55kg, placing behind Wind Of Romance. Drops 400m today and draws barrier 5 after a close-up maiden campaign that also included a 4th of 11 over 1300m from the outside gate. Consistent at the track this season and looks ready to hold form under V. Abi̇ş, with their lone pairing yielding that recent 2nd.

Second-up after a debut 7th of 13 at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y FILLIES COND 1, carrying 57kg on a GOOD3 when drawn barrier 4. On a short 9-day turnaround and moves to barrier 6, with the same rider and trainer combination retained. Scope to improve with race experience but needs to lift on that first outing.

Fourth-up and on a short 10-day turnaround, he comes off a 2nd at Kocaeli over 1400m in TB, drawn inside and carrying 55kg. Drops 200m with a slight barrier improvement to 3, and his season record (3:0-1-0) suggests he’s learning with each run; a competitive showing is within reach.
