Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
KESTEL YIĞIDI (1) brings consistent Istanbul form and rates on recent 1500m 2nd here on 16 Aug carrying 60kg, now up to 61kg and drawn 6 with the same rider. DELININ GÜCÜ (4) maps well from barrier 3 and comes off a solid 3rd at Istanbul over 1500m on 16 Aug at 57kg. MAVI HAKAN (6) is third up and was 4th at Istanbul over 1300m on 2 Aug before a midfield 6th over 1500m from barrier 12; stays wide but holds fitness. ŞELEMZAR (3) is third up, returns to Istanbul after a 1200m 2nd on 7 Aug and can improve despite a 3kg rise and wide alley.

Consistent at Istanbul with a (5:0-3-1) track record, including three straight 2nds over 1200–1400m before a 7th from barrier 13 last time. Drops 400m in trip and draws barrier 8 after wider gates recently, with G.kocakaya taking over. Honest profile suggests he can give a sight again.

Strong Istanbul profile with three seconds from five starts there, and the current jockey has finished 2nd on him in all three rides. Third-up after a 7th over 1600m here nine days ago and now rises 3kg to 60kg; returns to a rider/trainer combination that delivered a 2nd over 1200m two starts back. Reliable place form suggests he can be competitive again.

Has progressed this prep, finishing 3rd at Istanbul over 1500m 12 days ago from barrier 11 behind Arden Tuna and Bozalan. Drops to barrier 3 today and stays around the trip with 57kg, which looks a more comfortable set-up given his recent 1400m–1500m placings. Solid claims to hold his form at this track.

Second-up he ran 2nd at Istanbul over 1300m on 2 Aug, carrying 57kg from barrier 9 behind Erhanhan. Twelve days later he was 12th of 12 over 1500m, and now third-up he draws barrier 2 with a slight +100m distance rise from that first run. Third-up and better drawn, he can bounce back if recapturing that debut effort.

On a short turnaround at 21 days and drops 2kg to 53kg after a 9th over 1200m at Istanbul. Best recent effort was 5th in a 3Y OPEN over 1400m at Istanbul two starts back, and now rises 400m from that latest run while drawing wider in barrier 11. Needs to lift at this track and trip but the lighter weight could help.

On a short turnaround after finishing 13th of 15 over 1400m at Kocaeli on 20 Aug in AR grade, now draws better in barrier 4 after the rails gate last time. Earlier 7th/11 over 1200m here on good ground when carrying 57kg, and today drops to 54kg with a slight rise to 1400m. With the improved draw and lighter weight, can be competitive if holding a spot early.

Draws barrier 1 and returns on a short turnaround after finishing 12th of 15 over 1400m at Kocaeli on 20 Aug (54kg) behind Teksevdam. Earlier Istanbul runs this prep produced 13th and 9th over 1200m, and she now drops back 200m to that trip with 55kg. Needs to lift on exposed form but the inside draw offers a softer run.
