Istanbul Race 2 - Race 2
EL GLADIADOR (6) Finished 2nd last start at this venue. More confidence with jockey öZcan Yildirim guiding the horse. Key player. TALIPHAN BEY (2) Snagged a narrow win last time at this venue and good career start. Been in the money 5 from 5 attempts this preparation. Appears well in this. SARUNAS (3) Brave effort to win narrowly last start at this venue and fitter for debut run. Has the ideal draw. Can get the job done. LAND OF LEGENDS (1) Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at this venue and going over more ground. Ahmet çEli̇K is a key booking. Include in chances.
