Istanbul Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: -

ROSARIO (6) comes third-up off a strong Istanbul 2200m 3UP HCP win on 12 Jul from barrier 12 with 52kg and now draws barrier 3, which suits this 200m rise. LION ICARDI (1) maps well from barrier 1 and owns a perfect 1/1 at 2400m here, plus he was 3rd at Istanbul 2200m on 12 Jul despite drawing 11. KING OF TIME (3) is progressive, having won consecutive 2100m races at Istanbul in June/July before a solid 4th in that same 12 Jul 2200m event. ANGEL ON THE WING (4) has been consistent at 2100m, including 2nd to KING OF TIME on 1 Jul and a last-start 3rd on 17 Jul, and steps to 2400m now.

Proven at Istanbul 2400m with a win on 7 Jun (GOOD) carrying 52kg, and backed that up with a 2nd at 2100m on 3 Jul before a solid 3rd over 2200m on 12 Jul behind Rosario and Sirius Vega. Draws barrier 1 after coming from 11 last time, and steps up 200m to a distance he’s 1:1 at. Well set up to hold his form from the inside draw.

Comments

Comes off two down-the-field runs at Istanbul, most recently 11th of 12 over 2400m in a GROUP 3 3UP with 53.5kg on good going, after a 10th of 13 over 2200m. Prior to that, posted back-to-back 1900m wins at Istanbul, including on heavy, and now draws barrier 2 with Er.cankiliç aboard (jockey combo 2:1-0-0). Proven at the track this season and the soft draw could help him recapture that May form.

Comments

In strong form at Istanbul with back-to-back 2100m wins in June, both under H. Çizik, and boasts a solid local record (4:2-0-0). Last start he tried 2200m in a 3UP HCP and finished 4th of 12 from barrier 4, and he now draws barrier 5 with a 200m drop in trip. With 15 days between runs and an effective jockey-trainer combo (2:2-0-0), he profiles as a reliable contender at this track and trip.

Consistent this prep with placings in three of the last four at Istanbul, including 2nd over 2100m on 1 Jul in 3Y COND and a 3rd over 2100m on 17 Jul behind Enterprising Rock. Returns to 2100m after a 300m drop from a 2200m run two back, draws barrier 4, and owns a solid CurrentTrack record (10:1-3-2). Well placed to be competitive again under 55kg.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul with a this season record of 9:1-3-1 and a recent 2nd over 1900m in a 3Y HCP, drawn widest and finishing behind Damperli. Earlier won over 1900m (13 runners) and has a 3rd at 2200m, so today’s significant 500m drop back from staying trips looks a positive setup from barrier 6. With 22 days between runs and 54-58kg carried in recent starts, his consistent profile suggests he can be competitive again.

Progressive profile at Istanbul this season (4:1-0-3), and comes here third-up off a 2200m Istanbul 3UP HCP win 15 days ago from barrier 12 carrying 52kg, beating Sirius Vega. Drops 200m and draws much better in barrier 3, which should aid his tractability. Solid chance to hold form given his consistent local record.
