Istanbul Race 1 - Race 1
BAY MENTOR (1) sets the standard with three straight placings at this track and a recent 3rd over 1500m, and the slight drop to 1400m looks suitable. DREAMER MAN (3) is a threat second up after a 3rd at Ankara over 1300m and should appreciate the extra trip. LET IT BURN (10) has been around the mark with a 3rd then a 4th in recent Istanbul runs and draws the inside, which can help at 1400m. BATTERINI (7) appeals for minor money after a solid 4th two starts back and a midfield 1400m effort here. Narrow edge to BAY MENTOR (1) on consistent local form.

Placed in 3 of last 3 and holding form. Last start was 3rd of 9 over 1500m at Istanbul on 14 Oct, and he’s been consistent at this track with (3:0-1-2). Drawn in the 4-6 barrier range where he’s also (3:0-1-2). Honest profile suits this 1400m assignment and keeps him in the mix.

Stays in the same grade after finishing 8th of 9 over 1200m at Istanbul on 4 Oct. Steps to 1400m, which could offer a more suitable tempo. With Er. Cankiliç riding for E. Uslu, can look to improve with that experience under the belt.

Second up after a 3rd of 7 over 1300m at Ankara on 12 Sep, and steps to 1400m. Keeps A. Kurşun and stays with T. Ataç, which provides continuity. That run reads solid enough to be competitive again.

Second up after an Istanbul 1500m run on 18 Oct when 9th of 9 on good ground. Drops back to 1400m, which could be a more suitable ask at this stage. Z. Karabulut sticks, and any improvement with the run under the belt would see Mister Ezel more competitive.

Back to Istanbul over 1400m, the scene of a 6th of 12 on 13 Sep, which reads better than the 8th of 13 over 1200m at Kocaeli last start. Stays in the same grade and gets A. Kaçmaz aboard. This set-up looks more suitable and can hold a position in the finish with a repeat of that prior Istanbul run.

Draws the inside after jumping from 6 last time, which could help at 1400m. Last start was 7th of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on 11 Oct on good ground. Stays in the same grade and gets A. Sözen up. Scope to improve from the soft draw for T. Taşar.
