Istanbul Race 7 - Race 7
REBEL MILLIONAIRE (1) sets the standard third up after two Istanbul 2nds at 1200m and 1300m with H.karataş, and draws barrier 4 for the rise to 1600m. ORBITAL FLAME (6) is a danger second up after a 2nd over 1300m here on 30 Sep with Gökhan Kocakaya. EQUALIZER (9) maps well from barrier 2 and brings consistent Istanbul form, including 2nds at 1200m and 1300m and a last-start 3rd in a 2Y fillies maiden. MY ZEKO (5) has bar 1 and credible juvenile form, including a 2nd over 1000m here and two subsequent 4ths up to 1400m.

Runner-up in both Istanbul juvenile outings, 1300m (TB) on 6 Sep and 1200m (TB) on 4 Oct carrying 57kg, finding Native Blossom and then Okami too sharp in small fields. Third-up and drawn better in barrier 4, he returns on a 12-day turnaround with the same rider-trainer combination that has produced both seconds. Solid claims to be in the finish again.

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround (12 days), he brings improving Istanbul 1200m efforts, latest 4th of 9 on 4 Oct (TB) from barrier 4 with 57kg behind Ümitbey. Steps up 400m and draws barrier 7; with two recent city runs under the same trainer, he shapes as a competitive prospect if he stays the trip.

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround after finishing 6th of 7 in a 2Y OPEN over 1300m at Istanbul nine days ago, carrying 53kg behind Art Of Victory. Draws barrier 3 again and rises 300m in trip, with a consistent Istanbul campaign to date but yet to place from four track runs. Needs to lift but the setup is straightforward.

Returns first-up after 4 months with a significant distance rise to 1600m from a 1000m debut. On debut at Istanbul he drew barrier 2 and finished 10th of 10 in a maiden over 1000m on GOOD going with 57kg behind Lysandros. Draws wider in 9 this time, and the step up in trip provides a different setup for the runner.

Draws the inside gate after three straight 4th-place efforts at Istanbul over 1200m–1400m, having earlier run 2nd over 1000m in a 2Y MDN to Innerbloom. The 2YO has a 5:0-1-0 track record and steps back 200m, which could suit given his early-season placing. Well drawn to get every chance.

Second-up after a debut 2nd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 9-runner TB on good ground, beaten 0L from barrier 6 carrying 57kg with Gökhan Kocakaya aboard. Drawn barrier 8 this time and up 300m in trip, he sticks with the same rider and trainer combination that produced that near miss. Solid second-up profile on paper and entitled to be competitive again.

Second-up after a sole run at Istanbul 16 days ago, where the runner finished 8th of 9 over 1300m in TB grade from barrier 5. Steps up 300m today and keeps a middle draw, with a new rider engaged; improvement is possible with that experience under the belt.

Second-up after a debut 3rd of 11 at Bursa over 1200m, drawn wide in barrier 10 and finishing behind Bambi Bambo and Golden Rhapsody. Steps up 400m in trip and draws better in barrier 6, which can aid his settling and finish. With natural improvement from that first outing, the setup looks suitable for further progress.

Consistent Istanbul maiden form includes 2nd over 1300m on 2 Sep and 3rd in a 2Y FILLIES MDN over 1200m nine days ago, and she draws favourably in barrier 2. On a short turnaround and up 400m, her track record (4:0-2-1) suggests she can be competitive again.
