Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8

MR ÇIRAK (3) maps as the one to beat freshened 82 days, with a strong Istanbul 2000m profile (2: 1-1) and a last-start 2nd in a Group 2 over this trip from barrier 1. CALVADOS (1) brings current fitness and a barrier improvement (9 to 4) after a 2nd here over 2000m 16 days ago in a 3UP HCP. MR TT (4) is progressive, winning at 2000m then 2200m last two starts and now drops back to 2000m with a softer gate (7 to 3). METAL HEART (2) comes off a 1500m Ankara win and draws well, but rises 500m in trip back to Istanbul.

Comments

In strong current form at Istanbul (2:1-1) and comes off a 2000m 3UP HCP there 16 days ago when 2nd from barrier 9, splitting The Butcher and the rest with 58.5kg. Proven at the trip with a (2:0-1-1) 2000m record and draws better in barrier 4 today. Solid prospects back to a favourable gate with consistent recent output.

Comments

Comes off a 1500m Ankara 3Y win 22 days ago from barrier 3, carrying 60kg, beating King Luther. Returns to Istanbul where he’s placed once from four, and draws barrier 2 which aligns with a strong low-barrier record (11:6-0-1). Solid recent lift in confidence and the draw should aid another competitive showing.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul 2000m (2:1-1) and drawn barrier 1 again, he resumes after 82 days with strong course figures (8:2-3-0). Last start he was 2nd in a 2000m GROUP 2 here from the inside draw with 58kg behind Shadow Soldier, having won over the same trip at his prior run. Solid platform and the draw should afford him every chance.

Progressive 3YO coming off back-to-back wins at Ankara 2000m and Istanbul 2200m, the latest in a 3Y HCP on good going. Drops 200m and draws barrier 3 after scoring from wider gates, with a 28-day spacing into this fourth-up run. Solid profile at the trip (2000:1-1st) and at the track (CurrentTrack:1-1st) suggests he can hold form.
