Istanbul Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: -

SHINNY (7) Placed 2nd last start around here and facing a rise in trip. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Ayhan KurşUn does know the horse very well. Has the ability to take this out. TRUELY (8) Really dug deep when winning last time around here and returns to a rise in trip. Very tidy this preparation winning 2 from as many starts. Worth a ticket. ETSUKO (1) Did well when 2nd last time at Ankara and has a good draw. Winning hope. QUEEN PROTEO (3) Fought on gamely when winning last run at the track and racing over a longer distance. Akin SöZen is a key engagement. Very competitive this campaign. Looks set to run a place.
