Istanbul Race 2 - Race 2
Small 2YO field at Istanbul over 1400m where DERBY WARRIOR (3) appeals with the proven senior rider engaged and a handy middle barrier. AYTOR (2) draws inside in gate 2 and profiles as a key threat. VINI JR (4) maps to land the rail from barrier 1 and can give a sight. Lightly weighted LIFE CHANGER (5) carries 55kg and is a potential improver stepping to this trip.

Debutant 2YO draws barrier 5 under V.abi̇ş for H.yüzbaşi and carries 57kg. By Bluegrass Cat out of Miss Dream (by Victory Gallop), the setup looks straightforward from a midfield gate. A clean break and professional attitude would see the runner competitive on debut.

Draws barrier 2 with 57kg under G.kocakaya for C.fi̇li̇ksaç, which should afford a soft run in transit. Well-bred by Dark Angel out of Glorification, he presents an interesting profile and looks a tidy debut proposition from the gate.

Drawn barrier 4 with 57kg, Derby Warrior debuts for İb.b.oğullari with H.karataş booked. By Saxon Warrior out of Chillsea (by Mshawish), he profiles as a well-bred juvenile and maps to get a handy run from the draw. A respectful first-up prospect on setup and rider engagement.

Debutant from the U.bi̇li̇k yard by Battleground out of a Montjeu mare, drawn well in barrier 3 with 55kg. E.aktuğ takes the ride, and the soft draw should afford a handy run on debut.
