Istanbul Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: -

LINARES (3) Snagged a narrow win last start here. Jockey Mehmet Fati̇H Kaya has been successful previously. Been in the money 9 from 9 attempts this preparation. No shock to see a win. SUPER TOMO (5) Ran 2nd last time at Antalya and will try to take advantage of the draw. Ali̇ Yildiz is a key booking. One of the major hopes. STATUE OF LIBERTY (4) Fresh after a break. Lacklustre showing when 13th last time here. Capable of a strong comeback and drawn the rails. Added confidence with H Karataş doing the steering. Appears well in this. KOÇAKTAY (2) Did well when 2nd last run at this track. Erhan Aktuğ and Y Demi̇Rkiran form a proven partnership. In fine form since coming back from a break. Place hopes amongst this field. Something for the Multiples: BALLAD KING (1)

Looked good when 2nd last run at the track. Jockey Erhan Aktuğ and trainer Y Demi̇Rkiran show promise as a duo. In fine form this campaign. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start at this venue. Placed at every start this preparation. Jockey Mehmet Fati̇H Kaya has been successful before. Strong chance to be considered.

Comments

First up after a break. Odds of $10.00 and disappointing effort when 13th last time here. Capable of a strong comeback and can save some energy from the alley. Has some claims.
