Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8
Thin on exposed evidence, so GIANT WAVE (5) gets a slight nod from the inside draw at 1400m in a small field where map control can matter. HAVASUPAI (2) appeals as a danger from barrier 2 with a similar run style and the chance to hold a forward spot. DUM SPIRO SPERO (4) can feature if conservatively ridden early from the middle, keeping in touch before building late. SOMEWHAT CLOUDY (6) has the widest gate but is not hopeless in a six-runner race if able to slot in. Leaning GIANT WAVE (5) in a measured finish.

Lightly raced 2yo for S. Günaydin with E. Aktuğ booked over 1400m at Istanbul. With no exposed form provided, the setup reads as a low-key profile, but the engagement of a familiar local rider is a plus. A measured watch.

Juvenile with H. Çizik booked for H. Sunkar. Sparse exposed form in the card but the small field at 1400m gives a workable set-up. Respect on stable-jockey combination without overreaching.

Lightly raced 2yo for M. Akkiliç with Ö. Yildirim booked over 1400m at Istanbul. With a small field of six, rider-trainer combo could help secure the right run. Respectable prospect without exposed form to assess.

H. Karataş takes the ride on Giant Wave for A. Avci over 1400m at Istanbul. With a small field of six, race shape should be uncomplicated, and the senior jockey booking is a plus. Respectable claims in this set-up.
