Istanbul Race 6

Fi̇kret Yüzatli

Prize Money: -

WHIZBANG (6) is the clear benchmark after back-to-back Istanbul 1600m TB wins last month and owns a solid 1200m record (2:2-2), with strong current jockey/trainer stats. AMAZING TOUCH (5) appeals as the main danger dropping back to 1200m after a 2nd in Ankara 1000m G2 on 26 Sep carrying 58kg, and has a 1200m record of 3:2-0-1. SUBUTAI (3) maps well from barrier 3 and brings proven Istanbul sprint credentials (1200m here 6:2-0-1), including a close 4th over 1000m on 28 Aug. TONBI (4) draws barrier 1 and is unbeaten at 1200m (2:2-0-0), which makes the sharp drop from recent mile runs interesting back to his pet trip. Something for the Multiples: AMAZING TOUCH (5) İSPANOZ (1)

Brings solid recent form with seconds at Bursa over 1200m on 2 Oct and 2200m on 18 Sep carrying 60kg, and a 1200m Bursa win on 24 Aug with 63kg. Proven at today’s trip with a (21:3-5-2) 1200m record and perfect (Istanbul, 1200) mark from one run, and draws barrier 4 where he owns a handy record. With a short 14-day turnaround and back to 60kg, he profiles as a reliable contender at this distance.

Comments

Proven at 1200m with a strong track/distance record (3:2-1-0) and six wins at Istanbul overall, and he reunites with a jockey who has ridden him to two wins and two thirds from four rides. Comes back sharply in trip from 2100m and drops to 60kg from barrier 6 after a close 2nd here 16 days ago. Solid setup to run well back to his preferred distance.

Comments

Prolific at Istanbul with a strong (52:11-14-3) record and effective at 1200m (8:2-2-1), he draws well in barrier 3 and carries 60kg. Latest run was 3rd over 1600m at Istanbul on 27 Sep (TB, 9 runners) behind Whizbang and Charabanc, and he now drops 400m in trip. With proven track-distance credentials (Istanbul 1200: 6:2-0-1), this setup looks suitable for another competitive showing.

Comments

Drops back 400m to 1200m where he’s perfect (2:2-0-0) and draws barrier 1, aligning with a strong low-draw record (barriers 1-3: 6:4-0-1) at this track. Recent 1600m efforts were fair, but earlier in the prep he placed in GROUP 3 3UP and GROUP 1 3Y at Istanbul, form around Special Man and Charabanc. Well set up to rebound at this trip from the inside gate under 60kg.

Proven at Istanbul and 1200m, boasting a strong track record (11:4-1-1) and an excellent distance profile (3:2-0-1), with a perfect (Istanbul, 1200) mark. Comes off a 2nd over 1000m at Ankara in 2UP G2 20 days ago carrying 58kg, and now draws barrier 2 with 58kg. Back to a suitable trip and well drawn, she appeals as a solid contender.

Comes in off a hat-trick, most recently winning over 1600m at Istanbul on 27 Sep under 56.5kg, with S Boyraz aboard. Drops 400m in trip today and rises to 57.5kg, but boasts strong course stats at Istanbul (8:4-0-2) and a 1200m record of (4:2-2-0). With an in-form jockey combination (5:3-0-1), he sets up well again from barrier 5.
