Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8

DIRE WOLF (1) maps well from barrier 3 and brings strong Istanbul form, including a 1st of 17 over 1400m here on 28/06 (58kg, GOOD), and is 3:6 with this jockey. EL GLADIADOR (2) is on a short turnaround off a 1200m Istanbul win on 12/07 and drops back 200m; consistent this season and draws barrier 2. MUCHO BUENO (4) draws the rails and owns a 1400m record of 2:1-1; was 2nd over 1600m here on 17/05. WHIZBANG (6) was 6th of 22 in a 2400m Group 1 here last time and owns a 1400m record of 2:1-1; the sharp 1000m drop suits.

Comes off back-to-back Istanbul wins, most recently scoring over 1400m on 28 Jun from barrier 13 with 58kg on good going. Strong local profile this season (7:3-0-3) and at the track (7:3-0-3), and retains H Karataş with a favourable draw in barrier 3. Proven at the trip and set up to run well again.

Proven at Istanbul (11:4-4-0) and arrives off a 1200m win here 12 days ago, now stepping up 200m from a soft draw in barrier 2. Earlier in the prep he was runner-up over 1500m and 1900m, and again at 2000m on good ground, suggesting versatility across trips. With 58kg, his consistent season (8:2-4-0) reads well for another solid showing at 1400m.

Prolific this season (13:5-1-0) and 5 wins at CurrentTrack, including a 1400m success here on 15 Apr carrying 57.5kg. Forgive the 2400m Group 1 attempt from barrier 17 last time; he now drops 1000m, draws barrier 4, and returns to a trip where he’s unbeaten at the track-distance (1:1-0-0). With 58kg and a 26-day freshen, this setup looks more suitable.

Drops sharply from a 2400m GROUP 1 into his preferred trip, boasting a 1400m record of (2:1-1) and strong Istanbul figures (12:3-6-0). From barrier 1 and back with his regular trainer, he reunites with a jockey who has twice finished 2nd on him, and his good-track stats (10:2-5-0) read well. Well set up to bounce back over this distance.

Proven at 1400m with a solid (9:4-2-0) record, he returns to that trip after two unplaced runs at Ankara including 1200m last start on a short turnaround. Earlier in the prep he was competitive at Istanbul, finishing 4th over 1400m and 5th over 1600m, and reunites with H. Çi̇zi̇k at 58kg from barrier 5. Back to a suitable distance and drawn well, he can be around the mark if he holds that mid-prep form.

Drops sharply from 2400m Group 1 company 26 days ago and draws far better today (barrier 6 after 21), which suits a runner with a 1400m record of (2:1-1). Earlier in the prep he won over 1600m at Istanbul and was 2nd at 1400m on soft, and he’s effective on good going (12:5-2-2). Returns to a more suitable trip with 58kg and looks well placed to rebound.
