Istanbul Race 1 - Race 1
With all eight debuting, the map from barriers could prove decisive. LA CORDIALE (5) draws the inside and should secure the run of the race over 1400m, which gives it a slight edge. ELF STORM (3) profiles well being by Torok and has a soft draw to stalk and pounce. CLIPS CLOP (2) is another by Kaneko and maps midfield with options from barrier 4. PERSEVERANT WINNER (6) also by Torok, must negotiate the widest alley but has the pedigree to be competitive if it crosses early; narrow leaning to LA CORDIALE (5) on draw and expected run style.

First starter 2yo by Trappe Shot out of Pepperoni for G. Subaşi, with Gök. Bektaş booked. Debuts at 1400m which asks for professionalism, but the set-up is straightforward. Market and parade may guide, though the stable-jockey pairing is a positive starting point. Measured hope on debut in a field of 8.
