Istanbul Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: -

DRAGONS SON (3) Resuming after a 38 week break. Tidy effort when 2nd last time at this track and will be well suited at the trip. Key player. MR NALÇAKAN (1) On a quick back up. Tailed off when 8th last time at Adana but drawn nicely. Coming back in distance. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. KING RÜZGAR (6) Ran 4th last start here. Should improve and drawn well. Worth strong consideration. PRINCE OF DARKNESS (9) Back from a break. Mediocre performance when 7th last start around here. öZcan Yildirim is a key booking. Can take this out.

On a short turnaround. Started at $2.35 and average effort when 8th last time at Adana but gets a favourable barrier. Down in trip. Serious contender.

Resuming after a spell of 38 weeks. Tidy effort when 2nd last time at this venue and solid performer at this distance in the past. Back to a shorter distance. Chance and can measure up.
