Istanbul Race 8 - Nicomedia
GRAVITAS (5) brings the strongest recent figure after a 2nd over 1400m at Istanbul on 13 Sep (TB) and now drops 200m with S. Kaya sticking, while NATIVE RUNNER (9) appeals third-up after a 3rd over this track/trip on 20 Sep (TB) from barrier 3 and can be prominent despite drawing 10. NORTH BRIDE (10) was 3rd here over 1200m on 23 Sep (2Y Fillies Cond 1) and improves from barrier 9 to 4. EQUALIZER (2) has two Istanbul seconds this prep, including 1300m on 2 Sep (2Y MDN) from barrier 2, and draws well in 3.

Second-up with a consistent juvenile profile, having placed in three of five runs including 2nd at Adana over 1100m and 3rds at Bursa. Last start was 4th of 7 at Istanbul over 1200m (TB, 58kg) 15 days ago, and now draws barrier 7 where its barrier record shows two thirds from two starts between 7-10. Honest in this grade and capable of being in the finish with a similar effort.

Proven around Istanbul with two seconds from three runs, including a 1200m 2YF MDN placing on 5 Aug and a 1300m 2Y MDN second on 2 Sep. Draws better today with barrier 3 after jumping from 7 last time and has a sound 1200m profile (4:0-1-0). Genuine chance to figure if holding that consistent maiden form.

Second-up after debuting at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y FILLIES COND, finishing 6th of 8 under 57kg on good going. Drops 100m and draws barrier 5 after jumping from 6 first-up, with G. Özçelik taking over from K Gökçe. With natural improvement at start two, a fitter showing is within reach.

Second-up after a 41-day break, draws the inside gate with E. Aktuğ aboard. Debuted at Kocaeli over 1200m in a 2YF MDN, beaten out of the placings when ninth from barrier 6 under 57kg behind Coral Reefs. The soft draw can help her find a spot early and improve on that first outing.

Runner-up at Istanbul over 1400m on 13 Sep (TB) under 57kg, splitting White Castle and the rest, and retains the S. Kaya/C. Turan combination that produced that result. Drops 200m to 1200m fourth-up with a barrier rise from 4 to 9, having previously finished 4th twice at this trip on GOOD. Consistent profile this prep suggests she can be competitive again with a similar run-in-transit.

Third-up and back to 1200m after 9th of 13 over 1400m at Istanbul on 13/09, following a debut 2nd of 9 over 1300m there on 21/08 behind Touch Of Glory. Draws better from barrier 2 (from 7 last time), which should aid his run style. With a placed effort already at the track this season, the setup looks suitable for improvement.

Debuted 12 days ago at Istanbul in a 2Y FILLIES COND 1 over 1200m, finishing 6th of 12 from barrier 10 under 57kg on a GOOD3, with Immoboliare winning. Second-up today from barrier 8, sticking to 1200m with the same rider, which gives her a straightforward platform to improve.

Second-up after a debut 4th at Ankara over 1200m in a 2UP FILLIES COND1, drawn 4 and carrying 57kg on good going. Moves to barrier 6 here with H.karataş taking over, and the short 13-day turnaround could help build on that initial effort.

Third-up and improved sharply last time at Istanbul, finishing 3rd of 7 over 1200m (TB) on good going with 53kg, behind Any Given Sunday and Meydan Oku. Returns 15 days later from a wider barrier after a 1300m debut where he finished 6th of 9 with 57kg, and now reunites with A. Kaçmaz who rode the latest placing. Solid recent 1200m effort at the track suggests he can be competitive again.
