Istanbul Race 5 - Race 5
KAHRAMAN FATIH (7) appeals back to 1400m after a 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m on 9 Sep (3Y MDN) and a prior 2nd over 1200m (3Y COND1), and draws barrier 8. KORMAN ŞAH (8) maps well from barrier 2 and has Istanbul figures including a 4th over 1400m on 11 Sep (AR) with A. Sözen aboard. KARANLIK (1) is racing consistently at Istanbul, including 2nd in a 1300m 3Y MDN on 9 Sep and a last-start 5th over 1400m from barrier 12; up 2kg. BIGASI (4) was 5th here at 1400m on 27 Sep (AR) and draws better in barrier 3.

Worked home into 5th over 1400m at Istanbul 12 days ago from barrier 12 in AR grade, and was a narrow 2nd in a 3Y MDN over 1300m there on 9 Sep behind Canbulut. Carries 59kg today, up 2kg from last start, and maps wide again from barrier 12, but his recent Istanbul efforts suggest he's around the mark at this trip.

Second-up effort was solid when 2nd at Bursa on 7 Sep over 1500m in a 3Y MDN from barrier 13 behind Saraytay, and he now drops 3kg to 54kg. Fourth-up here after an 18-day break, comes back 200m and draws barrier 9, which could help him hold a handier spot than last time. Honest recent profile suggests he can be competitive again.

Second-up on a 7‑day turnaround after an 8th of 14 over 1200m at Istanbul (AR) when drawn wide in barrier 15 and carrying 57kg. Drops to 55kg and draws barrier 5 with a slight rise to 1400m, which gives scope to improve under Er.cankiliç.

Building some consistency at Istanbul with 5th of 13 over 1400m (AR) on 27 Sep and 5th of 10 in a 1300m 3Y MDN on 9 Sep, both at 57kg. Draws better into barrier 3 and sticks with A Aslan, which can help hold that improving profile. Place chance if he continues to progress at this trip.

Consistent around 1300m at Istanbul with 3rd of 15 (AR) on 26 Aug and 4th of 10 (3Y MDN) on 9 Sep, both on good going at 57kg. Comes here off an 18‑day freshen, up 200m from a Bursa 1200m run, and draws barrier 10 again. Honest provincial/metro efforts suggest he can be competitive with a similar trip.

Second-up off a 7‑day turnaround after a 13th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul (3Y COND 1) when drawn barrier 11 and carrying 57kg. Drops 3kg to 54kg, gains the inside gate, and steps up 200m, which could help settle and improve. Measured setup changes give him a chance to progress.

Progressive profile this prep, placing 2nd over 1200m (3Y COND1) then 3rd over 1300m (3Y MDN) at Istanbul, both on Good going at 57kg. Fourth-up after 14 days and back 200m from a 1600m Soft run where he finished 6th from the inside draw; now back to a more suitable trip. With a solid Istanbul record (3:0-1-1), he profiles to run well again from barrier 8 under 57kg.

Draws barrier 2 and returns to 1400m after a 1600m run here 14 days ago, with his best recent effort a 2nd over 1300m at Istanbul on good ground. Has a placing with Akin Sözen aboard and his Istanbul and good-track records show he’s been around the mark without breaking through. Well placed to give another honest account at 57kg in this AR grade.

Second-up and on a short turnaround after debuting 7 days ago at Istanbul over 1200m (AR) when 9th of 14 from barrier 1. Rises 200m and draws wider in barrier 7, with 57kg retained; experience from that run should help. Measured improvement would see him more competitive.

Second-up after debuting at Istanbul over 1200m (AR) a week ago, finishing 13th of 14 with 57kg. Faces a 200m step to 1400m and a much wider barrier (14) after drawing 3 first-up, with G. Yildiz staying on. Needs to improve with race fitness building.

Second-up after a debut 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m in 3Y COND, beaten 0L by Yildizbaşar on good going carrying 57kg. Drops to 55kg and steps to 1400m with a wider barrier (13), which adds some complexity to the map. Solid first-up platform suggests he can hold form if he handles the extra trip and draw.

Recent form is modest, with 12th of 14 at Bursa over 1500m (AR) 25 days ago and prior 13th of 14 at Istanbul over 1300m (AR), both on Good ground. Returns to Istanbul where her 1400m run this prep was 8th of 9 (3YF COND), and she now draws wider in barrier 11 with 55kg. Needs a lift to feature on exposed figures.

Needs to lift on exposed figures but a kinder draw could help her settle and improve.
