Istanbul Race 9 - Race 9
ULU EZGI (9) appeals second up after a debut 3rd at Istanbul on 16 Sep over 1200m (3Y COND) from barrier 7 and now draws barrier 2 with a 200m rise. BAYANBADEŞAN (4) is third up and brings the best recent figure here with a 2nd at Istanbul on 16 Sep over 1200m (3Y COND) carrying 57kg, and was close up 4th in a 1400m maiden on 9 Oct from a wide gate; barrier 3 helps. GÖREN ABLA (5) can improve third up after a sound 6th in a 1200m 3Y COND 1 on 2 Oct and now has a better draw. VARDAKOSTA (10) was midfield 7th at this trip on 27 Sep from barrier 10 and stays at 1400m, which keeps him in the mix from the outside gate.

First-up after 3 months and draws barrier 1, which could help sharpen her early in the run. Her sole start was 5th of 10 at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y FILLIES COND, and she steps up 200m today. A low draw and fresh profile give her a workable setup to progress.

Consistent without breaking through at Istanbul, including 4th of 12 over 1500m on 16 Aug (55kg, GOOD) and 5th of 11 at this track and 1400m on 26 Jul from barrier 10. Drops back 200m to 1400m and draws barrier 9, with A. Sözen reunites after those mid-prep efforts. Honest profile at the track but needs to lift to convert recent midfield finishes.

Second-up after a single run this season and 17 days between outings. Debuted at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y COND 1, beaten 14th of 15 from barrier 7 with 55kg on GOOD going; steps up 200m and draws barrier 8. Can improve with the run under the belt, but needs to lift.

Third-up and back to a favourable low draw after a wide gate last time, with a positive jockey-trainer record (1:0-1-0). Ran 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y COND on 16 Sep carrying 57kg, then 4th of 14 in a 3Y MDN over 1400m on 9 Oct from barrier 13. Maps to get a better run from barrier 3 and looks ready to hold form at this trip.

Third-up after two Istanbul runs this month, including 9th of 13 in a 3Y MDN over 1400m on 9 Oct (Good) from barrier 10 behind Nisam. Prior effort was 6th of 15 in a 3Y COND 1 over 1200m on 2 Oct (Good), and draws better here from barrier 7 with 55kg. Fit and finding her level, the softer gate can help her hold a spot and improve.

Draws barrier 4 after landing 6th of 14 over 1400m here on 9 Oct in AR grade, finishing behind Efe Kaptan from gate 11. Istanbul and 1400m have yet to yield a placing from five and two starts respectively, but the softer draw could help hold a midfield spot. A measured chance to improve with that recent run under the belt.

Improved this prep at Istanbul 1400m, running 3rd in AR grade on 11 Sep (GOOD) carrying 52kg from barrier 2, behind Abimsin and İzotop. Returns to 1400m after a 22-day break with a handy barrier 5 and has placed at the track and trip. Holds some each-way claims if she reproduces that recent placing.

Second up after a single Istanbul 1200m AR run 17 days ago when 10th of 14 from barrier 8 under 55kg on GOOD ground behind Topcuağa. Draws slightly better in 6 and steps up 200m, which gives scope to improve at this stage of the prep.

Second-up after a promising debut at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y COND, finishing 3rd of 10 from barrier 7 behind Başaran Kiz and Aygezen. Steps to 1400m and draws barrier 2, which could help him settle handier. With the same trainer-jockey combination and race fitness, he looks ready to build on that first-up effort.

Has been kept to Istanbul sprints/middle trips with four runs and is yet to place, including 7th of 13 over 1400m (AR) on 27 Sep from barrier 10 under 55kg. Drawn 10 again and sticks to 1400m, with a new rider booked; needs to lift on exposed track/distance record.
