Istanbul Race 1 - Race 1
CIMRINGO (1) maps well back to 2000m and returns to Istanbul after a 2200m win here 12 days ago; strong local profile (5:2-1) and has a 4th in a 2000m 4Y HCP at this track in June. TANJU BEY (2) is consistent this prep and was 3rd in that 2200m Istanbul race on the same day from a wide barrier; draws better and drops 200m. GÖKSAGUN (5) has a solid 2000m record at this track (3:1-0-1) and was a close 3rd in a 2000m Istanbul 4Y HCP in June from a wide gate; freshened 49 days. BAY ARAZ (3) draws well and boasts two wins from low barriers; recent Istanbul 1400–1500m form includes a July win and a 4th last start, but rises 600m.

Comes off a last-start win at Istanbul over 2200m (AR, 15 runners) 12 days ago, continuing a strong record at the track (Istanbul 5:2-1-0) and is unbeaten this season (1:1-0-0). The drop back to 2000m suits given consistent figures at the trip (2000m 4:0-2-0) and he retains a perfect partnership with this jockey (1:1-0-0). Well drawn in barrier 5, he profiles to run another competitive race.

Consistent this season (3:0-1-2) and arrives off back-to-back placings, including 3rd at Istanbul over 2200m on 28 Aug from barrier 14 behind Cimringo and Tozyutturan. Drops 200m and draws barrier 8, and his wider-gate record is sound (barriers 7-10: 12:2-2-2). Solid each-way credentials at this trip despite a modest 2000m record (7:0-0-1).

Recent Istanbul winner over 1500m in a 4Y HCP from barrier 3, and now draws well again in barrier 2. Last start he was 4th of 15 over 1400m at Istanbul (4Y HCP) and returns from a 28‑day break, with a notable 600m rise in trip today. Solid barrier stats (3:2-0-0) and a prior city win suggest he can be competitive at this setup.

Backs up on a short 6‑day turnaround and rises 600m to 2000m, a trip where he’s 1/2 and also 1/2 at this track and distance. Drawn barrier 9 with H. Çizik, and his broader Istanbul record (14:1-2-3) suggests he handles the venue. Proven at the journey, he can improve back to a more suitable trip.

Proven at Istanbul 2000m (3:1-0-1) and holds a solid course record overall (16:1-5-1). Last start boxed on for 4th of 16 over 1500m at Istanbul in a 4Y HCP from barrier 14, and now draws better in 6 with a sharp +500m rise back to a trip that suits. Jockey combo hasn’t struck yet (5 rides, 0 wins), but the setup suggests a competitive showing.

Second-up on a short turnaround after a close 3rd at Ankara over 1500m (AR) six days ago, carrying 53kg from barrier 4 behind Kraken and Umutser. Steps up 500m in trip and returns to trainer K. Korkmaz, for whom he posted a 2nd at Antalya over 1400m earlier this year; draws barrier 7 with A. Kaçmaz aboard. Solid recent platform suggests he can hold his form at this longer journey.

Returns to a more favourable setup from barrier 3 after finishing 8th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul 21 days ago. Prior to that he boxed on for 3rd over 1500m in a 4Y HCP at Istanbul, suggesting this trip rise could suit. Track record of (5:1-1-1) adds some confidence for a competitive showing.

Gets barrier 1 and rises 200m, with a prior 2000m record of (5:1-1-1) offering the most credible benchmark. Recent form has been modest, including 15th of 18 over 1800m at Bursa nine days ago in 4Y HCP and 14th of 20 at 2200m here three starts back. Inside draw and a proven 2000m profile give some hope for improvement.

Faces 2000m again with a modest record at the trip and track-distance (2:0-0-0) and resumes after 52 days. Recent Istanbul runs include 6th of 7 over 1900m in 4Y COND on 19 Jul and 9th of 13 over 2000m on 17 May from a wide barrier. Drawn barrier 10 here and needs to lift on exposed figures.

Draws barrier 11 after racing widest from 19 when 18th of 18 over 1200m at Istanbul 14 days ago. Best recent effort was 4th of 11 at Kocaeli over 1500m from barrier 11, and he has a win and a second from seven starts drawn 11–13. Returns to Istanbul 2000m where he’s unplaced from one try, so a measured hope if he can settle from the gate.

Fourth-up and draws barrier 4 after racing from wider gates in recent starts. Recent form reads 9th/13 (Istanbul 1400m) then 11th/11 (Kocaeli 1500m) and 10th/12 (Istanbul 1400m), all on GOOD. Steps up sharply in trip by 600m, so the more economical draw could help find a better rhythm.
