Istanbul Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: -

LA HIGUERA (3) Won narrowly last start at Antalya. Unbeaten last 2 starts. Added confidence with Ayhan KurşUn doing the steering. One of the major players. JAEHAERA (2) Was fighting out the finish when winning last start at this venue. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the trot. Jockey H Karataş rates highly aboard. Up to these. LYARA (5) Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start at this venue and good career start. Will give a big sight. VAYNAKH (7) Won narrowly last time here and getting better in recent performances. Added confidence jockey with öZcan Yildirim doing the steering. One of the hopes.

Put the head down when winning last start at Antalya. Won last 2 on the bounce. Ayhan KurşUn has multiple wins aboard. Definitely worth considering.

Brave effort to win narrowly last start at the track and putting a tidy record together so far. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Good chance at a nice price.

Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last time at this venue and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Jockey öZcan Yildirim adds value. Has a credible chance.
