Istanbul Race 4 - Race 4
NORTH BRIDE (8) appeals most off back-to-back placings at Istanbul and a slight rise to 1300m from a handy inside draw should suit on GOOD. QUEEN MIHRI (10) is a danger with a recent 2nd at this track and trip on GOOD and a soft run from barrier 1, while consistent efforts around 1400m add depth. GRAVITAS (3) has solid Istanbul form including a 2nd over 1400m and maps to get his chance from a suitable barrier back to 1300m. ZERYA (12) is in the mix after a 3rd on SOFT at 1400m and can hold a spot, but preference is for NORTH BRIDE (8) to convert recent consistency into a win.

Drops back to 1300m after finishing 7th of 10 over 1400m at Ankara on 24 Oct on soft ground. Now meets GOOD going at Istanbul, which may suit better. Lightly raced 2yo for O. Altuntaş with scope to improve at this distance.

Second up after finishing 6th of 8 over 1300m at Istanbul on 21 Aug on good ground. Stays at 1300m and sticks to the same track, with E. Aktuğ booked. Low-key return but fitter now and can improve.

Draws a better gate than last start, moving from barrier 9 to 6. Last time at Istanbul over 1400m on GOOD, finished 4th of 9. A. Yildiz sticks, and the slight inside draw can help secure a handier run. Gravitas looks to have scope to build on that recent effort at 1300m.

Second up after a 4th of 7 over 1400m at Istanbul on 25 Oct on soft ground. Drops to 1300m on a good track, which could suit, and keeps M. Kaya. With that experience at the course, Kızım Elektra has a platform to improve in this field of 11.

Third up and staying at Istanbul after a 1200m run here on 7 Oct when 5th of 8 on GOOD, she now stretches to 1300m. H. Çizik sticks and the set-up looks straightforward. Marina can build on that recent local experience.

Second up and drops to 53kg with a better draw, moving from barrier 7 to 4. Last start was 8th of 8 over 1400m at Istanbul on 25 Oct on soft ground. The shorter 1300m on good going and the weight relief give Marnis a tidier set-up to improve.

Third up and comes off a 2nd of 8 over 1200m at Istanbul on 7 Oct on good ground, suggesting she’s building into the prep. Stretches to 1300m and keeps H. Karataş, which looks a straightforward progression. Competitive on the latest evidence and can hold a spot in the finish.

Draws better from barrier 3 after jumping from 6 last time, which could help at 1300m. Has raced twice at this track and trip on GOOD, finishing 5th of 9 on 11 Oct and 6th of 10 on 1 Nov. With the handier gate and familiar conditions, Pillow Dance has grounds to improve.

Back to 1300m at Istanbul where she was 2nd of 10 on 11 Oct on GOOD ground, and that reads well for this. Handled HEAVY at Kocaeli over 1400m since when 4th of 8, so conditions here look suitable. With Ö. Yildirim booked, Queen Mihri has credible claims to figure again at this trip and track.

Second up after an Istanbul 1400m run on 28 Oct, finishing 7th of 7 on GOOD. Back to 1300m and holds the same track conditions, with G. Özçelik engaged. Small field last time offers limited read, so Twister Blue can be assessed on the tweak in trip and race experience.
