Istanbul Race 2 - Race 2
TOUCH OF THUNDER (1) Did well when 2nd last run at this track. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Serious contender. LISENDORA (10) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run around here and showing consistent performance in races. In fine form since returning from a spell. Vedat Abi̇ş is a strong choice aboard. Every chance today. PRINCE OF THE SUN (7) Finished 7th last time here. Could work into the placings. ALPHA SKY (2) Ran 5th last start at the track but having second career run. öZcan Yildirim is a bonus. Likely to fill a place.
