Istanbul Race 9 - Race 9
WARDEN OF ROMANCE (10) brings the best recent figure, a 2nd at Ankara on 14 Jul over 1300m in a 2Y MDN Fillies with H. Karataş aboard, and now drops 100m from barrier 7. FURIOSA (2) is consistent, runner‑up at Ankara on 14 Jul over 1300m after a 3rd there over 1200m on 18 Jun, and draws barrier 3. GRAVITAS (4) was 4th at Istanbul on 15 Jul over 1200m and now lands the inside gate. TAŞKININ SEVDASI (9) closed 5th in that same 15 Jul 1200m Istanbul race and can be around the mark despite a wider draw.

Third-up and back to Istanbul 1200m after finishing 7th of 7 over this course/trip on 3 Jul behind Secret Of Dragon. Prior debut was 10th of 10 at 1000m here on 24 May, carrying 55kg, with Red Victory again in the minors. Needs to lift but the extra run under the belt could help.

Found form at Ankara, running 2nd over 1300m on 14 Jul from barrier 2 under 57kg, with Kupa Dokuzlusu the winner. Prior effort was a 3rd over 1200m in a 2Y COND FILLIES on 18 Jun on soft going, again behind Kupa Dokuzlusu. Drawn barrier 3 and back to 1200m, the recent uplift with this jockey-trainer pairing (2:0-1-1) reads well for another forward showing.

Second-up after a debut 9th of 10 over 1200m at Istanbul 19 days ago, drawn wide in barrier 11 and carrying 57kg. Drops into barrier 2 here, a meaningful gate improvement, and stays at 1200m. With that experience and a softer draw, a step forward is within reach.

Second-up after a debut 4th of 10 at Istanbul over 1200m (GOOD) 19 days ago, where he carried 57kg from barrier 4 behind Kinzhal. Draws the inside gate this time and retains S. Boyraz, which could help him build on that solid introduction. A similar run puts him in the mix at this trip.

Second-up after a solid debut at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y MDN FILLIES, finishing 3rd from barrier 2 carrying 57kg. Drops 100m and draws wider in barrier 9, with G.kocakaya taking over; a repeat of that first run would see her competitive again.

Second-up after a sole run at Istanbul over 1200m 19 days ago, finishing 6th of 10 from barrier 6 behind Kinzhal. Draws barrier 5 today and stays at the trip, with Istanbul and 1200m experience now on her side.

Improved to 5th of 9 over 1400m at Istanbul on 8 Jul after earlier midfield finishes, and now drops 200m. Draws wider in barrier 10 after barrier 2 last time, with B.akçay taking over from A Vural. Winless at the track (3:0-0-0) and unplaced at 1200m, so a measured hope for further progress.

Second-up after a debut 5th of 10 at Istanbul over 1200m 19 days ago, drawn inside then and now facing a much wider barrier 11. Stayed on to finish midfield behind Kinzhal in that GOOD-track maiden and sticks to the same trip. With that experience and setup, a tidy step forward is feasible.

Second-up after a narrow 2nd at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y MDN FILLIES, box-seating from barrier 6 under H Karataş and splitting winner Equal Gold in a 7-runner field. Drops back 100m here and draws barrier 7 with 57kg again, which looks a suitable setup off that improving run.

Second-up after a 50-day break, this 2YO returns off a 1000m Istanbul debut where he finished 7th of 11 behind Harun Reis on GOOD going. Draws slightly better from barrier 6 and steps to 1200m, which may aid progression for the Mah.baykara-trained youngster.
