Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
DAYDAY (7) draws barrier 1 and resumes second-up after a debut win over 1300m at Istanbul, which reads well for 1400m. AYYILDIZLAR BEYİ (11) comes off a last-start Istanbul 1300m AR win 14 days ago and stays at a similar trip with an inside-middle gate. ARDEN TUNA (5) was a last-start Istanbul winner over 1500m 24 days ago and drops slightly in trip from barrier 6. SERVER BEYIM (9) has solid 1400m credentials, including 2nd in an Istanbul 1400m 3Y HCP on 9 Aug, and maps well from barrier 3.

On a short turnaround after a 4th of 9 over 1600m at Ankara (AR) from barrier 9, and now drops 200m which aligns with his 1400m record (2:1-0-0) including an earlier win. Also boasts a maiden win at 1200m and a prior Istanbul 1300m 2nd in 3Y COND, indicating versatility across sprint trips. Genuine prospect back to 1400m from barrier 9 with E.Çankaya booked.

Runner-up at Istanbul over 1200m 12 days ago in AR grade, closing off to finish 2nd to Hiz Beyim under 57kg. Earlier this prep he was 2nd at Bursa over 1400m in 3Y COND and owns a solid Istanbul record (7:1-2-1). Back to 1400m with barrier 8 looks a workable setup for another forward showing.

On a short turnaround after a 4th of 6 over 1400m at Istanbul (AR) seven days ago, and now draws barrier 2. Consistent this season (3:0-1-1) with placings at 1200m including a 2nd at Bursa on 21 Aug (3Y COND, 57kg), and owns a solid CurrentTrack record (5:1-0-2). With favourable gate stats (barriers 1-3: 2:1-0-1), he profiles as a genuine each-way chance at the trip.

Comes off a breakthrough win at Istanbul over 1500m on 16 Aug, scoring under 57kg from barrier 8 in a 14-runner field, with Bozalan the runner-up. Prior Istanbul 1400m runs include a 4th on 26 Jul, and he draws barrier 6 here with a slight drop back to 1400m. Solid recent progression suggests he can be competitive again.

Fourth-up and backing up on a 5‑day turnaround after a Bursa run, he returns to Istanbul where he’s placed 3rd twice at 1300m this prep. Broke through two starts back in a 3Y MDN at Bursa (1200m, GOOD) before a solid 3rd at Istanbul (1300m, AR), and draws barrier 4 again. Consistent at the trip and well drawn to hold a handy spot.

Impressive debut winner at Istanbul over 1300m, scoring from barrier 3 under B. Akçay for Z. Temuçin, and returns second-up after 38 days. Draws barrier 1 and nudges up 100m in trip, with perfect records at track, with the jockey, and from low barriers all intact. Well set to build on that promising start.

Proven at 1400m with a 2nd at Istanbul on 9 Aug in a 3Y HCP (56kg) from barrier 6, and draws better here in 3 to suit. Also placed over 1400m at Bursa on 20 Jul (3rd) and comes back from a 1600m Istanbul run 21 days ago. Reliable at this trip (1400:2-0-1) and looks set to run well again.

Returns to Istanbul 1400m where he’s 1-from-1, including a win here on 26 Jul over 1400m on good going. Comes in on a short turnaround (8 days) after a 5th at Kocaeli over 1400m and draws barrier 10 after barrier 2 there. Proven at today’s track/trip and can run well if he lands a spot from the wider gate.

Comes into this fourth-up off a breakthrough win at Istanbul over 1300m (AR) on 26 Aug, drawing 9 and scoring under 57kg with Mehmet Fatih Kaya aboard, defeating Çildutay. Prior runs this prep were 5th at 1500m and 7th at 1300m, and he now draws barrier 5 with a slight distance rise of 100m. With a 1:1 partnership for the current jockey-trainer combination and proven at the track this season (3:1-0-0), he profiles as a lightly raced improver on a 14-day turnaround.
