Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
KESTEL YIĞIDI (1) maps well from barrier 1 and is on a short turnaround after 2nd at Istanbul over 1600m on 17 Jul, backing up a prior 2nd over 1200m; consistent this season with three seconds at the track. ÇILDUTAY (7) is also on a short turnaround and brings solid recent form, including 2nd at Ankara over 1200m on 2 Jul and a closing 4th at Istanbul over 1600m last start. ALPLI (3) draws better after a wide run when 5th at Istanbul over 1600m on 17 Jul, with earlier Istanbul placings over 1200m and 1300m suggesting the 1400m drop suits. YALNIZDEDE (6) can be around the mark dropping back from 1600m after a 4th and 5th here at shorter trips in June.

In consistent form at Istanbul with back-to-back 2nds over 1200m and 1600m, most recently seven days ago when runner-up to Korgün. Returns to 1400m from barrier 1 and reunites with H. Karataş, with strong local stats this season (Istanbul: 6:0-3-0). Draw and short turnaround suit a forward showing.

Fourth-up and backing up on a 7-day turnaround after a midfield 6th of 11 over 1600m at Istanbul. Drops 200m with the same rider who was aboard last start, and has a prior 1400m run this prep. From barrier 10, needs to build on recent efforts but the sharper trip could help.

Back on a short turnaround after a 5th of 10 over 1600m at Istanbul seven days ago from barrier 10, and now draws better in 5 with a 200m drop to 1400m. Earlier prep efforts included 3rd placings at Istanbul over 1200m and 1300m, showing competitiveness at shorter trips. With solid Istanbul figures this season (4:0-0-2), the setup looks suitable for another honest showing.

Comes back on a 7-day turnaround after a solid 5th of 11 over 1600m at Istanbul, drawn wide that day and now lands barrier 4. Drops 200m and reunites with A. Yildiz, who rode him to 5th and 6th in two earlier 1000m runs carrying 57kg. Consistent midfield efforts this prep suggest he can hold his form with the kinder draw.

Fourth-up and progressing, improving from 6th over 1000m (Istanbul, 15 May) to 4th over 1300m (12 June). Steps back 100m and draws barrier 6 after racing from 4 last time, with 57kg carried in the prior two runs on GOOD ground. Holding his form and the setup looks workable for another honest showing.

Draws barrier 3 and backs up on a 7‑day turnaround after finishing 8th of 11 over 1600m at Istanbul behind Korgün. Earlier runs this prep included a 4th of 11 over 1200m and 5th of 12 over 1300m at the same track, and he now drops 200m which could suit. Istanbul record shows placings have eluded him so far, but the softer gate may help him settle into the run.

On a short turnaround after a solid 4th at Istanbul over 1600m from barrier 11, and now draws better in 7 with a 200m drop in trip. Prior to that, posted three 2nds at 1200m, including in a 3Y MDN at Ankara (59kg) and at Kocaeli on GOOD ground, with the current jockey having ridden for two of those placings. Consistent at this trip and the setup looks suitable for another forward showing.

Second-up after a debut 4th of 15 at Elazig over 1200m in a 3Y MDN FILLIES, drawn well again in barrier 2. On a short turnaround (9 days) and steps up 200m, which could suit given she boxed on to finish close behind Son Kraliçe. A similar run with natural improvement has her in the mix.

Second-up and on a short turnaround (5 days) after a 5th of 13 at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y FILLIES COND, carrying 57kg from barrier 4. Steps up 200m and draws barrier 8 today, with the same trainer and a new rider engaged. That recent hit-out should bring her on for this slightly longer trip.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Ankara over 1200m six days ago, drawn widest and sticking on to place from barrier 9. Steps up 200m here and remains with Y. Uçar, with E. Çankaya taking over at 55kg. Short turnaround and a slight rise in trip give her a reasonable platform to progress.
