Istanbul Race 7 - Hulusi̇ Çi̇l
MAJESTUOSA (6) brings strong Istanbul credentials and beat BELLEZA (1) over 1400m here 12 days ago, with a 3-from-4 track record suiting the slight step to 1500m. WARRIOR POINTE (5) is progressive and already a 1500m winner at this track on 9 Aug, now drawn inside which should help. BELLEZA (1) maps as a danger off a 2nd over 1400m here on the same day and boasts an excellent Istanbul record. SHADE OF AMIDALA (8) comes in off a 1400m win here on 19 Aug and draws well to get a soft run.

Proven at Istanbul with a strong overall track record (6:4-1-0) and an excellent partnership with Gökhan Kocakaya (5:3-1-0). Latest run was a 2nd over 1400m at Istanbul on 28 Aug in TB, and he now drops 100m with a better barrier (8) than last start (5). Solid credentials to be competitive again under 57kg for H. Sunkar.

Debut winner at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, scoring from barrier 2 with 57kg under S. Özen. Second-up after 17 days and draws barrier 7, rising 300m in trip. Solid start to the prep and the setup asks a new question at 1500m.

Progressive juvenile who won a 1200m 2Y COND at Istanbul on 9 Aug before a 5th of 6 over 1300m there on 26 Aug, both on GOOD. Drops 200m and draws barrier 4, with a prior win from this barrier range and a solid prep of 1-2-5. Honest profile suggests he can be competitive back to 1200m.

Third-up and already a winner at Istanbul, he resumed with a 3rd of 6 over 1200m (2Y COND) here on 9 Aug, carrying 57kg from barrier 1 behind Non Mollare and Cose Della Vita. Steps up 300m and moves to barrier 5, with Ayhan Kurşun again aboard and a solid track record at this venue (2:1-0-1) underpinning his prospects.

Progressive 2YO who broke through over 1500m at Istanbul (2Y MDN) last start from barrier 10, scoring under 57kg with Vedat Abi̇ş aboard. Prior run was a solid 2nd over 1200m at the same track on GOOD. Draws barrier 1 now and remains unbeaten at the trip and track/distance, which sets up well third-up.

Prolific at Istanbul with a strong track record (4:3-1), most recently winning over 1400m on 28 Aug after earlier 1200m victories. Returns here off 12 days with a slight distance rise of 100m and draws barrier 6, having proven effective from middle alleys. Solid claims back at a venue where she consistently performs.

Ultra-consistent at Istanbul this prep (3:1-2-0), backing up a 1200m 2Y COND5 win on 30 Aug with earlier seconds to Sanae and Non Mollare, all on good ground. Drops from 57kg to 55kg and draws barrier 3, a handy setup 10 days between runs with E. Çankaya back aboard. Proven at the track and holding form, she profiles to run well again.

Comes in fourth-up from a soft draw (barrier 2) after breaking through at Istanbul over 1400m on 19 Aug, having earlier finished 2nd in a 2Y MDN over 1300m. Up 100m today with Istanbul figures reading (3:1-1-0), and the booking of M.s.çelik fits a progressive profile. Well placed to hold form at this trip.
