Istanbul Race 1 - Race 1
ÜMITBEY (7) maps as the one to beat second-up after a 3rd of 10 over 1300m at Istanbul on 5 Sep (2Y MDN) from barrier 7, and he stays near that trip with only a slight distance drop. SKY OF KHAN (6) appeals next; he’s fit and comes back 400m after a 2nd of 6 over 1600m at Istanbul on 20 Sep carrying 55kg, with the rider sticking. TERRAFERMA (9) is fourth-up and brings a recent 2nd of 12 over 1400m at Kocaeli on 22 Sep (55kg) and draws barrier 3. HEART OF ÖNER (4) can be kept safe off a 5th of 7 over 1200m at Istanbul on 20 Sep from barrier 2 and holds barrier 4 here.

Draws the inside after racing handy from barrier 5 when 6th of 7 over 1200m at Istanbul on 20 Sep (TB, 55kg) behind Any Given Sunday. Fourth-up with all four runs at Istanbul, and returns to 1200m where he’s had two of those outings. Low draw can help him hold a spot and improve.

Debuted at Istanbul 26 days ago and boxed on for 3rd of 6 over 1300m (TB) on GOOD, carrying 57kg from barrier 1 behind Native Blossom and Rebel Millionaire. Second-up today from barrier 7 with a slight drop to 1200m, and retains the same stable. That solid first outing suggests further improvement is attainable.

Third-up and back to 1200m after finishing 10th of 10 over 1500m at Istanbul in a 2Y MDN on 9 Aug (57kg) behind Warrior Pointe. Debut was 7th of 10 over this trip at the same track on 31 Jul, and he draws better today moving from barrier 6 to 2. With the softer gate and return to the shorter trip, he can show improvement.

Third-up and back to Istanbul after a 5th of 7 over 1200m here on 20 Sep (TB, 52kg), drawn better today moving from barrier 2 to 4 is neutral but he does have race experience at the track and trip. Earlier debut at İzmir over 1200m saw him finish 9th of 10, so the recent run was a step forward. With another run under the belt at the same distance, further improvement is possible.

Closed 4th of 12 at Kocaeli over 1400m on 22 Sep (TB) under 57kg, and had been 5th of 8 at Ankara over 1400m on 10 Sep (GOOD). Back to 1200m with a small barrier improvement to 8, and sticks with G. Özçelik after riding last start. Consistent without breaking through this prep and can be competitive again with a similar trip.

Closed off for 2nd at Istanbul over 1600m (TB) 12 days ago under 55kg, with CurrentJockey aboard, and draws barrier 5 today after racing from 4 there. Drops 400m in trip with a solid this season profile (3:0-1-0) and a positive local record (Istanbul 4:0-1-0). Genuine hope to build on that recent runner-up finish.

Ran 2nd at Kocaeli over 1400m ten days ago, improving sharply from an earlier 5th at the same trip. Drops back to 1200m and draws barrier 3, with A.yildiz taking over, which could help hold a handy spot. Fourth-up and holding form, looks set to be competitive again.
