MAKUL (3) brings the best recent Istanbul form, winning a 1200m COND on 2 Oct (60kg) then 2nd over 1400m COND on 18 Oct (58kg), and maps well from barrier 6. ARNAVUT KIZ (4) is on a 9‑day turnaround after a 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m HCP15 F&M on 21 Oct (58.5kg) and draws better from barrier 4. DIAMOND BROTHERS (2) appeals back to 1400m after a 2nd here on 25 Sep (56.5kg, soft) and an improved barrier 7 today. First‑up GENERAL BRIELLA (8) has an excellent 1400m record (15:8-2-3) and strong first‑up stats, and the inside draw suits despite 13 months off.

Comments

Returns to 1400m after a solid 4th at Istanbul over 1600m in a 3UP F&M HCP 23 days ago, and has a consistent record on good ground (14:1-3-3). Istanbul figures are handy (6:1-1-0) and the current rider has a strong partnership (2:1-1), which supports a competitive showing at this trip.

Comments

Proven at 1400m with a solid record (12:4-3-1) and strong stats at Istanbul, including (CurrentTrack, 1400) (7:2-1-1). Returns to 1400m from a 1600m run 23 days ago, and his recent 2nd at this trip on soft suggests the setup suits. With 7 wins/placings from 7 rides by the current jockey-trainer combination, he profiles as a reliable chance back to his preferred distance.

Comments

Arrives in solid touch this season (4:1-1-1) and was a close 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m in a 3UP COND 5 12 days ago with 58kg, behind Baldwin. Prior run she won a 1200m 3UP F&M COND 4 at Istanbul on good going, beating Dejavu with 60kg, and she pairs well with Gökhan Kocakaya (2:1-1-0). Proven at the trip (13:2-3-2) and draws barrier 6, giving her a straightforward set-up to hold form.

Comes off a narrow 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m in a 3UP HCP15 F&M nine days ago, jumping from barrier 10 and carrying 58.5kg behind Lady Begüm; draws barrier 4 today with the same trainer-jockey pairing having a 1:0-1 record. She won here two starts prior over 1500m (3UP F&M HCP) with 58.5kg and owns a solid 1400m record (17:3-2-1). Well drawn and proven at the trip, she looks set to hold her form.

Comments

Back on a short turnaround after a 2nd at Bursa over 1400m seven days ago, and prior to that ran 3rd at Istanbul over this trip in a 3UP COND 5 on good going. The current jockey has a 1-from-2 record on the horse, and the barrier range 4-6 has yielded solid returns (17:2-4-2). Consistent recent form at 1200-1400m suggests she can be competitive again at the trip.

Reliable at Istanbul and effective at 1400m, with track (12:3-3-3) and track/distance (4:1-1-1) profiles to suit. Comes off consecutive thirds here in September, including a 1300m 3Y Fillies Cond 7 from barrier 1 under 58kg behind Income and Queen Ayla; now draws barrier 3 with H. Karataş again. Solid credentials for another competitive showing.

In good order this prep with 2nds at Istanbul over 1300m and 1200m, both in 3UP F&M COND company carrying 56kg. Steps up 200m to 1400m where she owns a solid record (3:1-1-1) and is unbeaten at the Istanbul 1400m from one try, and draws barrier 2. Profiles to run well again fourth up.

Outstanding 1400m profile (15:8-2-3) and strong at Istanbul 1400 (4:2-1-0), now draws barrier 1 where she excels (barriers 1–3: 22:12-4-3). First up after 13 months, but her prep record is excellent (3:2-1-0), and she reunites with Mehmet Akyavuz whose partnership has been prolific (32:16-5-3). Proven on good ground (28:13-3-3), she maps to get the right run and looks a key hope if near her best.
