Istanbul Race 3 - Race 3
GÜMÜŞ KILIÇ (1) appeals most with consistent Istanbul figures and 2nd at this trip, plus a favourable low draw after a luckless 5th last start at 1500m. SEHER ZAMANI (2) is a danger off a recent 2nd over 1300m here and solid track record, though the wider gate could test. ÖZGÜR (5) has genuine claims dropping back to 1300m where he won two back and has placed in 2 of his last 3. GÜRDALHAN (3) can improve second up, having won his prior Istanbul 1300m start, but needs to lift on the latest 5th. Lean GÜMÜŞ KILIÇ (1) in a tight contest.

Consistent type who’s placed in 4 of the last 5 and owns a solid Istanbul record (5:1-3-0). Ran 2nd over 1300m here on 1 Jul and stays in the same grade. This season’s returns are positive (3:1-1-0), suggesting the set-up suits. Reliable claims back to 1300m at this track.

Comes off a 2nd of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on 18 Oct, handling similar conditions. Drawn in the mid-range again and has a solid record from barriers 4-6 (3:1-1-1). With M. Kaya up for V. Karakuş, the setup looks consistent and reliable. Competitive on recent evidence.

Second up and back to 1300m at Istanbul, where he scored 1st of 14 on 1 Jul on good ground. Last seen here over 1300m on 18 Oct, finishing 5th of 10, and retains H. Karataş. Proven at the track and trip, and the set-up looks suitable.

First up after about 4½ months and returns to the 1300m at Istanbul, where he won on 12 Jun. Profile is rock-solid with placings in 3 of last 3 and a strong local record (3:1-1-1). Draws on the experience of A. Yildiz for M.E. Avci. Genuine claims back to a proven setup.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and already a 1300m winner at Istanbul on 9 Sep. Fourth up now and stays in the same grade, with G. Kocakaya booked. This profile reads solid for another competitive showing at the trip.

Back in trip after finishing 6th of 11 over 1500m at Istanbul on 4 Oct, and stays in the same grade. Draws into a small field of 6 which may help A. Kurşun find a rhythm. With A. Tepebaşı training, a smoother run at 1300m could see improvement.
