Istanbul Race 2 - Race 2
İZOTOP (7) brings strong recent figures at Istanbul with a 2nd over 1400m on 11 Sep and a 3rd over 1300m on 26 Aug, and draws barrier 3. TANKIZI (6) maps well from barrier 1 and was 2nd in a 1300m 3Y MDN here on 9 Sep; rises to 60kg but owns solid Istanbul stats. BALKIBEY (1) is third-up and improved when 2nd over 1200m (3Y COND1) here on 30 Aug; the barrier improves to 5. YALIN ATEŞ (5) is on a short turnaround after an 11th at Ankara on 17 Sep but had prior 4ths in big Istanbul fields at 1200m and 1300m, which reads competitively. Something for the Multiples: İZOTOP (7) BALKIBEY (1) TANKIZI (6) ŞAFAKBERK (3)

Third-up and drawn barrier 5, he returns to Istanbul after a solid 2nd over 1200m in a 3Y COND1 on 30 Aug, carrying 57kg on GOOD. Last time he was 5th of 11 in a 1300m 3Y MDN on 9 Sep; now drops 300m and maps to get a similar run from a slightly better gate. Consistent Istanbul profile this season suggests he can be competitive again.

Consistent Istanbul campaigner this season (4:0-1-0) who was a close 4th of 8 over 1400m here on 11 Sep in AR grade from barrier 1 at 57kg. Prior 5th of 13 at the track/distance on 28 Aug, and today draws barrier 4 with a slight rise to 1600m. Honest efforts at the venue suggest he can be competitive again.

Third-up and back to 1300m after a solid 3rd over 1200m at Istanbul on 30 Aug in 3Y COND1 carrying 57kg. Drew wide and finished 8th of 11 here 16 days ago in 3Y MDN, but now maps better from barrier 7 with Gökhan Kocakaya sticking.

Races on a short turnaround after finishing 6th of 10 at Istanbul over 1400m (AR) two weeks ago from barrier 1 under 57kg. Prior Kocaeli efforts included a 5th of 11 in a 3Y MDN over 1500m when drawn wide (barrier 11), and he now draws barrier 6 with the same weight. Honest recent efforts without breaking through; a similar showing puts him around the mark.

Consistent this prep with three 4th-place finishes at Istanbul/Ankara over 1200–1400m, including from wide barriers, and now backs up on an 8-day turnaround. Rises 4kg to 57kg but draws barrier 8 after a tough run from 7 on soft at Ankara. Honest recent efforts suggest he can be competitive again at this trip.

Placed 2nd in a 3Y MDN over 1300m at Istanbul on 9 Sep carrying 60kg, and now draws barrier 1 after wider gates in recent outings. On a short turnaround (7 days) and up 200m, with solid Istanbul stats (10:0-4-2) and a soft-track placing on record. Maps to get the right run from the inside draw and can be competitive again.

Third-up and consistent at Istanbul (track record 3:0-2-1), he comes off a 2nd over 1400m in AR company 14 days ago, splitting the placegetters behind Abimsin. Steps up 5kg to 57kg but draws well in barrier 3, and his prior 3rd over 1300m reads solid. Honest claims at the trip with the soft draw.

Back to barrier 2 after drawing 12 last time, which could help after an 11th of 12 over 1600m at Istanbul on 28 Aug (55kg) behind Davutpaşa. Prior to that she was competitive, finishing 4th of 12 over 1500m on 16 Aug (GOOD) from gate 2 at the same track. With the better draw and a return to 55kg, a tidy showing is within reach.
