Istanbul Race 1 - Race 1
GÜMÜŞ KILIÇ (5) rates on top second up after a strong 2nd at Istanbul on 1 Jul over 1300m (3Y COND) carrying 57kg, and he now rises 300m to the mile. KARANLIK (6) was 3rd in the same 1 Jul Istanbul 1300m race and was 5th here over 1200m on 10 Jul; third up and stretching 400m should suit. TANERDEN (8) is second up and was 4th behind that pair in the 1 Jul Istanbul 1300m event; up 300m can help from barrier 4. MESTAN (7) brings solid Istanbul form with 4th over 1200m on 10 Jul and earlier 5th in a 1400m 3Y MDN on 21 Jun with 57kg, and he also steps to 1600m.

Has been consistent at Istanbul with a (3:0-0-2) record, including 3rd at 1300m from barrier 12 on 12 Jun and 3rd at 1200m on 27 May (GOOD). Back up on a short turnaround 8 days after finishing 8th over 1400m at Kocaeli in an 11-runner race won by Begihan. Has placed from wider draws (barriers 7-10: 1:0-0-1) and can be around the mark if reproducing those Istanbul efforts.

Draws barrier 1 after jumping from 11 when 7th of 12 over 1400m at Kocaeli on 7 Jul. Third-up on a short 8-day turnaround with a 200m distance change, having earlier finished 9th of 9 over 1200m here on 23 Jun carrying 57kg. The inside draw should afford a more economical run and the third-up profile gives scope to improve.

Third-up on a short 5-day turnaround after finishing 6th of 10 at Istanbul over 1200m on 10 Jul (GOOD), behind Keremnur. That was an improvement on a debut 12th of 13 over 1000m when drawn barrier 13 and carrying 57kg. Faces a 400m distance shift and seeks a first Istanbul placing.

Second-up after a 2nd at Istanbul over 1300m in a 3Y COND (14 runners) from barrier 1, carrying 57kg behind Şansli Adam. Steps up 300m and keeps A.aslan, so a similar performance would see him right in the finish.

Third-up and on a 5-day turnaround after finishing 5th of 10 at Istanbul over 1200m on Jul 10 (GOOD), with Keremnur the winner. Prior run was a 3rd of 14 over 1300m in 3Y COND on Jul 1 carrying 57kg, behind Şansli Adam and Gümüş Kılıç; this season’s record is (2:0-0-1), all at this track. With that platform and the quick back-up, looks capable of another competitive showing.

On a short turnaround after finishing 4th of 10 over 1200m at Istanbul from barrier 9 five days ago. Earlier runs include 4th of 9 at 1200m and 5th of 13 at 1400m in a 3Y MDN with 57kg. Fourth-up with a slight barrier improvement to 8 and a 400m distance change, he’s been holding his form and can give a honest showing.
