Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8
TITANESS (11) sets up as the one to beat from the inside after a 3rd over this 1300m here and a prior 2nd, with consistent placings on GOOD ground. QUEEN Z (8) rates the main danger, placed in two of her last three and already 3rd at this track and trip. ELF STORM (3) is progressive off a debut 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m and draws low to get the right run back to 1300m. CRAFTY WARRIOR (2) can figure after a solid 3rd on debut at Istanbul, though this is a touch shorter; leaning to TITANESS (11) in a tight finish.

Drops back to 1300m after finishing 5th of 10 over 1400m at Istanbul on 4 Nov on GOOD, having also been 5th of 10 here at this trip on 11 Oct. Stays in the same grade and keeps G. Özçelik. Honest efforts at the track and distance suggest a competitive showing is within reach.

Second up after a 3rd of 8 over 1400m at Istanbul on 25 Oct on soft ground, and now comes back to 1300m on good. Draws on continuity with A. Kurşun and H. Harmanbaşi. Solid platform to progress in this set-up.

Second up after running 2nd of 7 over 1400m at Istanbul on 25 Oct on soft ground. Drops to 1300m on good going and keeps A. Yildiz aboard. With that experience and a similar set-up at the same track, Elf Storm looks a credible chance to progress.

Third up and draws much better, moving from barrier 9 to 3. Last start at Istanbul over 1300m on GOOD, was 7th of 9. Stays in the same grade. Gate shift gives her a chance to settle handier and improve.

Third up and holding form after a pair of 4ths at Istanbul, including over 1300m on GOOD on 6 Sep. Kept on for 4th of 10 back to 1200m on 7 Oct, suggesting the return to 1300m is no issue. With Müs. Çelik aboard for A. Tekdemir, Mi Voila has been consistent enough to be competitive again.

Second up after a sole run at Istanbul over 1300m on 26 Aug, finishing 6th of 6 on GOOD. Stays at the same trip and remains in the same grade. With Er. Cankiliç up for S. Günaydin, any natural improvement second up would be a positive.

Placed 5th of 8 over 1300m at Istanbul on 21 Aug on GOOD, so has a reference at the trip and track. Latest run at Bursa over 1400m on GOOD produced a 10th of 11, but this is the same grade and a return to Istanbul could help. A. Kaçmaz rides for G. Taşdelen. Reasonable chance to improve back to 1300m at this venue.

Fourth up and placed in 2 of last 3, including 3rd of 8 over 1300m at Istanbul on GOOD. Also boxed on for 3rd of 10 at Ankara over 1400m on SOFT last time, handling varying conditions. Stays in the same grade and returns to a track and trip where she has already hit the frame. Solid claims to be in the finish again.

Closed to 4th of 9 over 1300m at Istanbul on 11 Oct on good going, showing some early promise at this trip. Found it tougher when 10th of 11 here over 1300m on 1 Nov, but stays in the same grade. With that mixed pair of efforts at the track and distance, a steady showing is within reach.

Fourth up and holding form, having placed in 2 of her last 3. Latest run was 3rd of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on GOOD on 1 Nov, and she stays at the same grade. Has handled this track and surface with 2 placings from 3 starts. With H. Çizik up, Titaness brings consistent local efforts that give her a genuine chance to be in the mix.
