Istanbul Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: -

AMAZING TOUCH (6) First up from a break. Was fighting out the finish when winning last run at this venue but back in trip. Seli̇M Kaya is highly regarded. Key player. İPHIKLOS (7) Got the upper hand late when winning last start at this venue but coming back in distance. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 attempts. Respect. SHE IS APPROVED (3) First run back from a break. Came in 3rd last start around here. GöKhan Kocakaya is a key booking. Can give this a shake. LAVENDER (1) First up after 22 weeks and in the money when 3rd first up last preparation at Izmir. Vedat Abi̇ş is a bonus and suited at this distance historically. Each way a good option.
