Istanbul Race 7

AL TAN (1) profiles as the one to beat at 2400m, with consistent Istanbul figures and 3 seconds/2 thirds from 6 at the trip, plus recent 2nd and 3rd over this course and distance. BRANDO (6) looks the main danger off a solid 2nd then 4th in longer staying assignments and a prior Istanbul 2400m 2nd, and the inside draw should help. TRUELY (5) is another key player given a strong this-season strike and an Istanbul 2400m 3rd two starts back, holding good track stats. TOR GOLD (4) can feature late with proven Istanbul 2400m credentials and a last-start 2nd at the trip; leans to AL TAN (1) in a tight finish.

Comments

Consistent profile, placed in 4 of last 5, and sticks to the same grade. Steps from 2000m to 2400m after a 2nd of 8 at Istanbul on 9 Oct, and was also 2nd of 9 over this trip on 27 Sep. Strong course records bolster the case, with (29:8-8-8) at Istanbul and (5:0-3-2) at this track and distance, so Al Tan looks set to be competitive again.

Comments

Placed in 4 of last 5 and has been reliable this season (5:2-2-0). Last start at Ankara over 1600m on soft yielded 8th of 8, but this is the same grade. Drawn a similar alley to past wins and placings, with a solid record from barriers 7-10 (6:1-2-1). With S. Boyraz up for F. Kip, Kalküta brings consistent credentials into 2400m at Istanbul.

Fourth up and holding form, placed in 3 of last 5. Strong at this track and trip with (5:2-0-2), and overall Istanbul record is (8:2-3-2). Latest run was 2nd of 11 over 2400m at Ankara on 31 Oct, and draws much better here moving from barrier 9 to 2. Stays in the same grade and profiles as a solid chance around this distance.

Strong Istanbul profile with 3 wins and a placing from 6 runs here, and was 3rd of 9 over 2400m at this track on 27 Sep. Recent form reads placed in 3 of last 5, suggesting consistency at this trip. Teaming with H. Karataş and V. Yildirim has been productive (4:2-0-1). Same grade as last start and looks well placed back at Istanbul.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and boasts a solid this-season record (4:1-2-0). Draws much better, shifting from barrier 8 to 1 since the last run, which can help over 2400m. Went 2nd of 6 over this trip at Istanbul on 30 Aug, and that local effort reads well for this.

Stays at the same grade and stretches back to 2400m after a 2100m run at Istanbul on 11 Oct when 5th of 9 on good ground. Prior Istanbul 2400m effort on 30 Aug resulted in 6th of 6 on good. A. Yildiz sticks, and the set-up gives another look at the trip without a rise in class.

Comes off a 4th of 6 over 2000m at Istanbul on 8 Nov and now stretches to 2400m. Strong course profile (24:3-7-6) underpins his claims. Drawn in the 4-6 alley range where he’s performed well (13:3-5-2). With A. Sözen booked, Super Tomo has solid base credentials for this.
