Istanbul Race 9 - Race 9
UFUKTEPE (10) appeals most after back-to-back 4ths at Istanbul, including a solid 1200m run that reads well dropping from 1400m. BIGASI (4) is a key threat with recent 2nd over 1400m and consistent Istanbul form, though the cut back to 1200m is a query. GÜNEŞMILA (11) has genuine claims with a reliable 1200m record and an Istanbul 1200m 2nd on the page. TÜMÇIKMAZ (9) is in the mix off a last-start 3rd at 1400m and returns to 1200m where it has raced, but lacks a strong finish at the trip; slight lean to UFUKTEPE (10) in a tight finish.

Placed 2 of 3 at Istanbul, so the track holds no fears. Last start was 4th of 8 over 1400m at Ankara on 8 Oct on GOOD, and drops back to 1200m here on SOFT. E. Aktuğ rides for Ser. Yildiz, and he stays in the same grade. Competitive on his local record.

Draws the inside after jumping from 12 last time, which could help over 1200m. Has raced twice at Istanbul, including 1200m on 7 Aug when 10th of 15, and was 8th of 14 over 1400m on 9 Oct. With the softer draw and drop back to 1200m, a more economical run is possible.

Second up after a 4th of 11 over 1200m at Istanbul on 2 Oct on good ground. Draws a touch better with barrier 10 after coming from 13 last time. With race fitness building and a slight gate improvement, looks capable of holding form at this trip.

Closed well for 2nd of 14 over 1400m at Istanbul on 9 Oct and now comes back to 1200m on soft ground. A. Aslan sticks, and the recent run at this track reads well. Genuine claims off that performance.

Second up and draws better, shifting from barrier 7 to 2. Last start was 7th of 9 over 1600m at Ankara on 24 Sep on GOOD ground. Stays in the same grade, and the softer Istanbul 1200m could prove a more suitable set-up. With M. Kaya aboard, a kinder map from the low draw gives each chance to improve.

Draws much better with barrier 3 after jumping from 11 last time. Last start was 6th of 13 over 1400m at Istanbul on 9 Oct on GOOD, and the set-up may be more suitable back to 1200m on SOFT. With M.S. Çelik booked and a handier gate, a competitive showing is within reach.
