Istanbul Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: -

BAY CAVALLO (1) appeals most back to 1400m from the inside draw, with strong Istanbul stats at the trip and recent form reading 1st and 3rd here. ÇAPGUR (5) is a key danger off a last-start 3rd and a prior 2nd at 1400m, and maps to get a soft run from gate 3. DEEP OF ANCESTOR (6) is consistent at this track and trip with multiple placings at 1400m, and holds fitness on recent busy racing. DIVINE SON (3) has winning 1400m form and comes off a soft-track win, but needs to translate that to Istanbul; lean BAY CAVALLO (1) in a tight finish.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul 1400m with a (4:1-1-2) record, and placed in 4 of last 5. Draws the inside after jumping from 6 last time and comes back from 1700m to 1400m, a setup more in his wheelhouse given that profile. Latest Istanbul run at this trip was 3rd of 8 on 5 Sep. Well placed to run another honest race from barrier 1 with E. Akpinar aboard.

Comments

Placed in 3 of last 5 and draws much better, shifting from barrier 14 to 4. At 1400m he’s consistent without a win (6:0-2-2), and worked home for 4th of 18 at Bursa over this trip on 2 Nov. The M. Kaya/V. Karakuş combination has been reliable (15:1-5-3). Profile suggests he can be competitive again from the softer gate.

Comments

Comes off a 1200m win at Bursa on 21 Oct on soft, which reads well. Prior Istanbul run at this trip on 12 Aug produced 6th of 14, so the return to 1400m is a small query. M.M. Bilgin takes the ride for H.R. Yeşilbudak. Divine Son brings winning confidence but needs to translate that to this track and distance.

Comments

Draws better than last start, shifting from barrier 13 to 8, which can help find a cleaner run at 1400m. Last time at Istanbul over 1500m on 30 Oct he finished 11th of 13, so a tidier map would be an edge. Stays in the same grade and gets G. Yildiz aboard for S. Günaydin. A quieter ride from this gate could see Sensei Baha settle into the race more effectively.

Comments

Placed in 2 of last 3 and brings consistent Istanbul form. Last start was 3rd of 13 over 1500m here on 30 Oct on good ground, holding his place to the line. Track record reads well with (3:0-0-2), and he has been effective from inside-to-middle draws (1-3) with 1 win and multiple placings. With H. Çizik aboard and staying in the same grade, Çapgur profiles as a solid contender at 1400m.

Proven around Istanbul 1400m with (3:0-2-1) at the track and trip and a solid overall Istanbul record (14:0-4-5). Last start was 5th of 18 over 1300m here on 4 Nov on good ground, and stays in the same grade. With M.S. Çelik up again, the profile points to another honest showing at this venue and distance.

Third up and comes off a 1400m run at Bursa on 2 Nov, finishing 17th of 18 on good ground. Draws better here with barrier improving from 10 to 5. Dil Bahar gets a more favourable map from the gates and can show more at this trip.

Comments

Draws much better this time, moving from barrier 6 to 2. Last start at Istanbul over 1600m on 25 Oct was a sound 4th of 6 on soft ground, and the prior run here at 1400m on 28 Jun came in a much larger field. Back to 1400m with A. Kurşun aboard and an inside draw gives scope to settle closer. Touch The Money maps as a credible improver in this line-up.
