Istanbul Race 7 - S.i̇.a.y. Ve Sah.der.
GÜVENIKA (4) rates on top after winning over 1400m at Istanbul on 6 Sep (TB, GOOD) and placing 3rd in an Ankara Group 1 two starts back; arrives third-up with solid Istanbul figures. BELLEZA (2) is a key danger with strong Istanbul stats (5 wins, 1 second from 7) and comes off a 1500m Istanbul win on 11 Sep. ELITE TOUCH (3) has consistent Istanbul form and was 3rd at 1400m on 28 Aug after a 1200m win here; draws barrier 4. SHADE OF AMIDALA (8) is suited at 1400m (1/1 at Istanbul) despite a 1500m miss last start and can improve back in trip.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 3, she comes off a maiden win at Istanbul over 1300m on 2 Sep (2Y MDN) under 55kg, defeating Equalizer. Prior Istanbul runs include a 7th over 1400m from barrier 11 and a 4th over 1000m, so today’s slight rise to 57kg and minor step to 1400m look within reach. Profiles as a progressive 2YO with scope to handle the extra trip.

Boasts a strong Istanbul record (7:5-1-0) and arrives off a 1500m TB win here on 11 Sep carrying 57kg, beating The Last Dragon. Proven at 1400m with a 2nd two starts back, and keeps 57kg from barrier 9 on a 14‑day turnaround; profiles as a solid chance to hold form.

Consistent at Istanbul (4:1-2-1) and already a 1200m winner here, he steps out from barrier 4 with H. Karataş, who has a strong record aboard (3:1-2-0). Last run was 3rd of 5 over 1400m here, and he’s placed at the trip and track-distance. Solid claims again with the proven jockey-trainer combination (3:1-2-0).

Brings a tidy profile with 1 win and 2 thirds from three runs this season, including a 1400m Istanbul TB win from barrier 8 nineteen days ago. Proven at the track and trip (Istanbul 1400) and now rises 2kg to 57kg with G. Kocakaya aboard; barrier 8 again should suit his pattern. Genuine contender to hold form at this set-up.

Progressive juvenile fourth-up with a strong current season (2:1-1) and unbeaten at the track (1:1-0-0). Won a 1200m 2Y COND at Ankara on 6 Aug (57kg) over Radagia before a close 2nd to Sistine Gallop over 1300m there on 22 Aug (55kg), and now rises 2kg while dropping 100m. Barrier 5 suits given his neat gate record (4-6: 2:1-1), and he looks well set to run boldly again.

Proven at 1400m with a win at Ankara (4 Aug) and returns from a 34-day break fourth-up. Latest run was 3rd of 5 over 1300m at Ankara from barrier 1 behind Sistine Gallop, and now rises 2kg to 57kg with a slight lift in trip. Inside barrier again should suit, and her this season record (2:1-0-1) reads well for another solid showing.

Proven at Istanbul with a track record showing 1 win from 2 and now returns off an 11-day turnaround, dropping to 57kg from 60kg. Recent Bursa 1300m TB effort produced 3rd of 7 behind Perhaps and Ponca, and today’s slight distance rise to 1400m should be within range. Unbeaten 3-from-3 with Cem Altun previously is a positive, and a middle barrier looks workable for another honest showing.

Proven at 1400m with a win at Ankara and boasts a solid Istanbul record (3:1-1-0), returning here off a 5th over this trip 19 days ago. Draws barrier 2 after barrier 1 last time and rises to 57kg, but her 2YO prep includes a Group 1 4th at Ankara, suggesting she’s holding her form. Genuine chance to run well back at Istanbul over a suitable distance.
