Istanbul Race 1 - Race 1
ŞAHAP BAŞKAN (1) sets the standard fourth-up, having won at Adana 1300m TB 12 days ago from barrier 3 after a soft-track 1200m MDN win at Istanbul prior, and draws well again. NATIVE RUNNER (6) is on a short turnaround and comes off a 1200m Istanbul 2Y Fillies MDN win 9 days ago, with prior TB third here adding confidence up to 1300m. CANADIAN BOY (5) resumes here off a soft-track 1200m Istanbul MDN win last start and maps well from barrier 2. WARRIOR POINTE (4) has prior Istanbul 1500m MDN success and can improve back in trip after a tougher TB run last start.

Progressive juvenile coming fourth-up with a 2-from-3 prep and unbeaten at track and trip (Adana 1300m TB, won 1/10). Won latest at Adana over 1300m (TB) from barrier 3 carrying 57kg on Good, and previously broke maiden at Istanbul 1200m (2Y MDN) on Soft. Barrier 3 again suits and his profile points to another solid showing.

Second-up on a short turnaround after finishing 4th of 8 at Ankara over 1400m in a 2Y COND (57kg) eight days ago, drawn better from barrier 4. Proven at shorter trips with an Adana 1100m win and an Ankara 1100m 2nd on soft earlier in the prep, and he drops back 100m here. Honest profile suggests he can be competitive from the gate.

Consistent juvenile with thirds at Istanbul over 1200m (2Y COND4, 55kg) and 1300m (2Y MDN, 59kg) before a forgive run when 8th of 8 last time. Returns after 12 days with barrier 6 and a slight rise in trip, and his track/distance placing suggests this setup can see him competitive.

Proved himself at Istanbul with a 2nd over 1200m before breaking through over 1500m (2Y MDN) from a wide gate, and he’s back to 1300m today. Last start he finished 7th of 7 over 1500m (TB) from barrier 1, and now draws better in 5 with a new rider booked. Fourth-up and with a 1-from-3 track record, he has the platform to rebound.

Found his breakthrough at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y MDN last start on soft ground from barrier 4 with B Akçay up, beating Gretel, and now draws barrier 2. He’s fourth-up, sticks with the rider who is 1-from-2 on him, and rises slightly in trip by 100m. Well placed to build on that maiden win.

Broke through at Istanbul over 1200m nine days ago in a 2Y FILLIES MDN, beating North Bride, and now draws the inside after jumping from 10 there. Fourth-up with a positive jockey record (2:1-0-1) and proven at the track this season (3:1-0-1), she maps to get economical run from barrier 1. Slight rise in trip to 1300m is the query, but her recent progression suggests she can hold form.
