Istanbul Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: -

ART OF VICTORY (4) appeals most after winning a 1200m 2Y OPEN at Istanbul on 16 Sep from barrier 1, and she has a prior Istanbul 1300m win this prep. AZA KOP (2) is a key danger dropping back 200m after Bursa wins at 1300m and 1500m, both with AZA KOP (2)’s current jockey aboard. RADAGIA (1) draws barrier 1 and comes off a 1300m Ankara win 16 days ago, with a 1300m record of 1 win and a placing. LA MUNECA (3) is on a short turnaround after a 3rd over 1600m at Istanbul and was runner-up in a 1200m 2Y OPEN there prior.

Comments

Comes off a Ankara 1300m TB win 16 days ago, scoring from barrier 7 under 57kg with Vedat Abi̇ş aboard, and now draws barrier 1. Solid this season (4:1-1-1) and effective at 1300m (3:1-0-1), with a prior 3rd in a 2Y COND at the trip. From the inside draw and proven at the distance, he profiles as a credible hope.

Back on a short turnaround after a 3rd at Istanbul over 1600m (TB) eight days ago, and prior to that ran 2nd in a 1200m 2Y OPEN at Istanbul behind Art Of Victory. Drops 300m to 1300m and draws barrier 3, with a solid local record at Istanbul (3:0-1-1). Consistent this season (6:0-1-2) and profiles to be competitive again.

Two wins from five this season and 3:1-0-0 at Istanbul 1300 underline a solid juvenile profile. Latest scored over 1200m at Istanbul in 2Y OPEN, beating La Muneca, and now draws barrier 4 with the same rider. Consistent at the track and well drawn to give another honest account.

Consistent at Bursa with three straight 2nds leading in, latest over 1500m in TB class from barrier 5 behind Aza Kop. Returns to 1300m where the record reads (3:1-1-0), and maps similarly from barrier 5 under 57kg on a 14-day turnaround. Honest profile suggests he can be competitive again at this trip.

Third-up and drawn barrier 2, he improved last time when 6th of 9 over 1200m at Istanbul on 18 Sep in a 2Y MDN behind Canadian Boy. That followed a 9th of 11 over 1400m first-up, and he now drops 100m which may suit at this stage of his prep. Measured progress and the soft draw give him a chance to continue trending the right way.

Third-up and back slightly in trip, he returns 17 days after finishing 9th of 10 over 1200m at Istanbul on soft ground from barrier 6. Previously 7th of 7 over 1200m here when carrying 57kg, so the race fitness and minor distance tweak could help him settle better. A quieter ride from barrier 6 might see improvement.
