Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8
Leaning to ÇINARALTI KIZI (1), who has twice run 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m recently and brings consistent city form back to 1300m. GÜNEŞÇEKER (8) appeals as a danger third up after a 3rd over 1400m here two starts ago, with proven placings at the track. Fresh filly MIMOZA (12) has upside off a 2nd over 1200m at this track on good ground and can figure if she holds that debut level. NILÜFER (2) has been holding form with two placings from her last three at Bursa, and if she handles Istanbul better than on her lone run here she can feature. Narrow verdict ÇINARALTI KIZI (1).

Placed in 3 of last 5 and comes off a 2nd of 10 over 1400m at Istanbul on 21 Oct. Proven at the venue with (5:0-2-1), and has run well for A. Yildiz/A.R. Kismet together (3:0-1-1). The 1300m on GOOD should suit on exposed form, making Çınaraltı Kızı a consistent chance.

First up after about six months, stepping to 1300m. Last seen 4 May at Bursa over 1000m on GOOD3, finishing 7th of 11. Draws on the speed map unknown but A. Kaçmaz takes the ride for T.N. Yildiz. Fitness and the rise in trip are the queries, but the freshen may suit.

Placed 3rd of 12 over 1400m at Bursa on 22 Oct and now cuts back slightly to 1300m. Stays in the same grade and retains A. Sözen. With that recent placing on the board, looks a fair chance to hold form.

Second up and draws better, moving from barrier 12 to 7. Last start at Ankara over 1300m he finished 5th of 12. Stays in the same grade and gets A. Kurşun aboard for B. Turgul. Likely to be more comfortable from this alley at 1300m.

Second up and draws the inside after jumping from 12 last start. Was 6th of 14 over 1400m at Bursa on 22 Oct and can strip fitter. Stays in the same grade and gets B. Akçay aboard. The soft draw gives her a chance to settle into the right spot and improve at 1300m on GOOD going at Istanbul.

Back to 1300m at Istanbul after a 4th of 9 over 1400m here on 21 Oct. Prior run at this trip and track on GOOD was 10th of 13 on 26 Aug, so the recent effort reads better. With H. Çizik up for Güv. Gökçe, a repeat of the latest run would see Hünerim competitive.
