Istanbul Race 6 - Race 6
BOZALAN (2) appeals on a short turnaround after a 4th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul on 7 Aug carrying 57kg, and was 3rd over 1400m here on 26 Jul; barrier 10 but consistent this prep. YÜREK ŞAH (11) draws the inside and is second up after a 3rd of 10 over 1300m here on 2 Aug with 57kg, which reads well rising to 1500m. FATIHINASLANI (7) is second up and comes off a 4th of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on 2 Aug (57kg); better barrier helps. EFE KAPTAN (6) is fourth up and ran 5th of 15 over 1200m here on 7 Aug under 57kg; stretches to 1500m from a softer gate.

Improved to 4th at Istanbul over 1400m 19 days ago from barrier 3 under Nevzat Avci, backing up a earlier 3rd over 1200m in May. Steps out from barrier 8 today with a slight distance rise from the latest 1400m run and retains the same trainer-jockey combination. Istanbul record (6:0-0-1) is modest, but recent efforts suggest he can be competitive again.

Consistent Istanbul form this prep, running 3rd over 1400m on 26 Jul and 4th over 1200m on 7 Aug on GOOD, and he backs up on a 7‑day turnaround. Faces a 300m rise in trip today and shifts to barrier 10 (from 3), with A. Çelik aboard after partnering last start. Honest recent efforts suggest he’s in the mix if he handles the wider gate and extra ground.

On a short turnaround after finishing 8th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul on 7 Aug (GOOD) carrying 53kg, and now draws barrier 3. Has been consistently midfield to worse in four Istanbul runs this prep, including 8th over 1400m on 26 Jul, but the 300m drop back in trip and favourable gate could help him settle closer. Needs to lift on recent figures but the setup offers a chance to improve.

Building a solid base this prep, improving from 7th at Istanbul (1200m) to 4th at Bursa over 1400m 21 days ago in a 3Y MDN. Returns to Istanbul where he’s yet to place from two runs, but a slight 100m rise looks suitable and M.kaya takes over from a middle barrier 11. Competitive of late and can hold his form with a clean run from the draw.

Second-up after a sole run this season, having finished 10th of 11 over 1300m at Istanbul 12 days ago on GOOD going. Rises 200m and shifts from barrier 7 to 9, with G.kocakaya taking over; looking for natural improvement at this stage of the prep.

On a short 7‑day turnaround after finishing 5th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul, and now draws softer from barrier 7 after wide alleys in two of three runs. Fourth-up with all three career runs at this track, including a 5th from barrier 14 in a 3Y COND over 1300m, suggests he’s been competitive from tough gates. With the barrier improvement and recent race fitness, he can hold his form.

Second-up after a solid 4th of 10 at Istanbul over 1300m 12 days ago, drawn widest and carrying 57kg when finishing behind Dayday. Drops 200m and draws barrier 6 this time, which should offer a more economical run. With that debut experience, a forward showing is within reach.

Drops 100m in trip and draws wider here from barrier 12 after barrier 4 last time; CurrentTrack record is 2:0-0-0. Needs to lift but the setup tweak could help.

Second-up after a 5th of 10 at Istanbul over 1300m on 2 Aug, where he drew barrier 1 and carried 57kg behind Erhanhan. Steps up 200m and jumps from a much wider barrier 13, with S.Özen staying aboard 12 days later. The short turnaround and distance rise present a different setup, so a measured improvement wouldn’t surprise.

Second-up after debuting at Istanbul over 1300m when 6th of 10 from barrier 1, carrying 57kg on Good going behind winner Dayday. Faces a 200m rise in trip and a much wider draw (barrier 14), which shapes a different setup. Scope to improve with the run under the belt, but the gate requires a tidy ride from G. Özçelik.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m (10 runners) when drawn wide in barrier 8 and carrying 57kg. Draws the inside gate now and rises 200m in trip, which sets up a favourable run-in-transit. Genuine top-three chance with natural improvement.

On a short 7-day turnaround after finishing 11th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul, and now rises 300m in trip from that run. Best recent effort was 4th of 5 over 1400m at Istanbul two starts prior, and draws barrier 5 here after barrier 3 last time. Needs to lift on exposed Istanbul record (5:0-0-0), but the quick backup and step back to 1400m could help.

Fourth-up and on a 7-day turnaround, she draws much better in barrier 2 after jumping from 10 last start when 8th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul. Earlier this prep she was 5th of 13 in a 3Y FILLIES COND over 1200m, and now stretches 300m which could suit. With the improved gate and fitness, she has grounds to be more competitive.

Fourth-up and back to 1200m after a 1400m run two starts ago, she returns on a short 7‑day turnaround. Best recent effort was 6th of 10 in a 3Y FILLIES COND at Istanbul over 1200m (57kg) when drawn wide in barrier 11; she draws better in 4 today and carries 55kg. That map and weight scenario can help her settle closer and give a more competitive account.
