Istanbul Race 9 - Race 9
Low-visibility maiden at 1200m with limited exposed form: inside draws could aid SILVIA (8) from barrier 1 and USUNBIKE (9) from barrier 2, while YEŞIL YAKUT (10) maps handy from barrier 3; watch market for BALKIZIM (4) stepping from barrier 5 with a senior rider engaged.

Draws barrier 4 and teams with V.abiş for Y.karakoç, with a pedigree by Saadin Gücü out of Şant. Lacks exposed race form here, so market and parade may guide, but the setup is tidy enough to be competitive.

Lightly raced 3YO from K. Şengel draws barrier 7 with E. Kadırler booked, and debuts under no claim. Pedigree by Berksoy out of Sarisultan suggests a grounded yard approach, so the market and parade may guide expectations on the day.

Lightly raced 3yo with barrier 5 and N.avci̇ booked for İ.e.kural could get a favourable run in transit. Pedigree by Gümbürgümbür out of Nesmi̇yana suggests some upside at this stage of the preparation, so a market watch is advised.

Draws the inside barrier and teams with A.sözen for Mur.akkiliç, which should afford a soft run in transit. Well-bred by Fatih Ağa out of Bestenigar, she maps for an economical trip from gate 1 and gets her chance to produce a forward showing.

Draws barrier 2 and teams with Er.cankiliç for H.harmanbaşi. Unexposed 3yo with Onurkaan–Caneda breeding; map from the low draw should aid a pragmatic ride. Keep in mind as a lightly raced prospect with a favourable gate.

Draws barrier 3 with F.s.m.sansar booked for Adn.polat, which should afford a handy run-in-transit. Unexposed at 3 and bred by Besleney out of Mucan, this setup looks suitable for a forward showing.
