Istanbul Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: -

KARTAL (3) shoots for a hat-trick after back-to-back Istanbul 1200m wins in 2Y COND company and maps well again from barrier 2 stepping to 1500m. HAVASUPAI (1) is consistent and fit, placed in 4 of 5 this season and was 3rd here over 1400m two weeks ago in 2Y COND. LEOPARDESS (4) is on a short turnaround and draws the rail after a 2nd at Kocaeli over 1400m in 2Y COND4 with 54kg. MELONCITTO (2) resumes this prep with two wins recorded earlier and brings Kocaeli 1400m winning form; barrier 5 suits if he steps cleanly.

Comments

Consistent juvenile with this season’s (5:0-1-3) and a solid Istanbul record (2:0-1-1), most recently 3rd at Istanbul over 1400m in a 2Y COND behind Rattlesnake and Whitewalkers. Prior run was a 2nd at Adana over 1300m on GOOD, carrying 60kg behind Hawk. Draws barrier 4 and stays around this trip with Akin Sözen up, so another honest showing looks likely.

Comments

Already a dual winner this prep, including a 1400m Kocaeli success on 6 Aug (GOOD) from barrier 1 with 57kg, beating Felaket. Comes here fourth-up off a 1500m Kocaeli run 15 days ago and draws barrier 5, with a prior positive barrier profile (4-6:1 win) adding confidence. Proven at Kocaeli and holding form, he looks set to run well again.

Arrives third-up unbeaten at Istanbul (2:2-0-0), both 1200m juvenile conditions wins on good going carrying 57kg. Last start from barrier 3 he scored over 1200m in 2Y COND4 with S. Kaya aboard, edging Atomic Age, and now draws barrier 2 with a 300m rise in trip. Proven locally and progressing, the setup looks suitable for another forward showing.

Comments

Second-up on a short turnaround after a 2nd at Kocaeli over 1400m in 2Y COND4 from barrier 1 under 54kg, splitting with winner Fortissimo. Prior to that, has two juvenile wins at 1000m and 1100m and a pair of minor placings, showing versatility across tracks and trips. Draws barrier 1 again and stays down in the weights, giving her a solid platform to hold form.

Comments

On a short turnaround after a Kocaeli 1400m run eight days ago and now draws barrier 3, which is an improvement on last start. Best recent effort was 3rd at Kocaeli over 1200m on 8 Sep in TB class with 60kg, sitting handy from barrier 2 behind Fortissimo and Aurelia Blitz. Honest profile this prep without a win, and the draw could help him hold a position early.
