Istanbul Race 9 - Race 9
UFUKTEPE (10) appeals third-up after 4th at Istanbul on 10-09 over 1400m (3Y MDN) from barrier 12 and prior 4th here on 10-02 over 1200m (AR), now draws 6. BIGASI (4) is a key hope off a last-start 2nd at Istanbul on 10-09 over 1400m (3Y MDN) and maps well from barrier 4. BEDRAN BEY (3) is second-up and was 4th here on 10-02 over 1200m (3Y COND 1) from a wide gate; barrier 10 is a slight improvement. TÜMÇIKMAZ (9) brings solid recent form with 3rd at Istanbul on 10-09 over 1400m (AR) and can be competitive back to 1200m.

Consistent in recent AR 1400m runs, placing 3rd at Istanbul on 27 Sep (GOOD) and 4th at Ankara on 8 Oct, and was a narrow 2nd over 1300m at Istanbul on 2 Aug behind Dayday. Drops 200m here after carrying 59kg last time; now drawn barrier 11 with E. Aktuğ aboard again. Genuine claims to be competitive if the shorter trip suits.

Draws barrier 1 and drops back 200m after finishing 8th of 14 in a 1400m 3Y MDN at Istanbul 14 days ago. Earlier this prep ran 2nd over 1300m at Istanbul in a 3Y MDN, splitting Canbulut and Karanlik. Inside draw could help recapture that September form at 1200-1300m.

Second-up after a solid 4th of 11 at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y COND 1, drawn wide from barrier 13 and carrying 57kg. Maps better today with an improved barrier (10) and stays at the same trip where he has race experience. Genuine contender to progress off that debut effort.

Closed in for 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m in a 3Y MDN 14 days ago, sticking on behind Fatihinaslani with 57kg from barrier 3. Drops 200m to 1200m and draws barrier 4, with A Aslan staying aboard and a consistent recent profile at the track. Competitive on current form and finds a suitable setup to figure again.

Second-up with a 400m drop to 1200m and a better barrier (2) after drawing 7 last time. Latest run was 7th of 9 over 1600m at Ankara (AR) 29 days ago carrying 53kg; prior best this prep was 5th of 9 here over 1300m from a wide gate. The map should be kinder from the low draw, which can help him build on that early 1300m effort.

Draws barrier 3 after working home into 6th of 13 in a 3Y MDN over 1400m at Istanbul on 9 Oct (57kg), coming from gate 11 behind Nisam. Prior run was 5th of 9 over 1600m at Istanbul on soft (57kg) on 25 Sep in AR grade. Maps to get a handier run with the barrier improvement and the 200m drop should suit.

Best run this prep was 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y COND1, carrying 57kg on good going. Since then has finished 8th/11 at 1300m and 7th/14 at 1400m, and now drops 200m with a slight barrier improvement to 7. Back to 1200m at this track looks a more suitable set-up based on that earlier placing.

Closed off for 3rd at Istanbul over 1400m in AR company on 9 Oct, behind Efe Kaptan and Yalin Ateş, and returns on a 14-day turnaround. Prior to that was 5th at Istanbul over 1600m on Soft carrying 57kg, and now drops back 200m with barrier 8. Track figures (4:0-0-1) suggest he handles the venue, and his recent placing reads well enough to be competitive again.

Third-up and holding form after back-to-back 4th placings at Istanbul, latest over 1400m in a 3Y MDN from barrier 12 carrying 55kg. Drops 200m and draws better in barrier 6, with Ertuğrul Cankılıç sticking, which sets up a similar run profile. Competitive of late and with a kinder gate can be in the finish.

Solid platform this prep, including 3rd of 13 at Ankara over 1400m (AR) on 8 Sep carrying 60kg, and 4th of 15 at 1200m (3Y MDN) on 25 Aug. Returns to 1200m with a favourable barrier 5 and comes off a 13-day turnaround from a 1500m run. Proven at the trip with a 1200m record of (6:0-2-1), so a competitive showing is within reach.
