Istanbul Race 3 - Race 3
SEHER ZAMANI (2) appeals on a short turnaround after 2nd over 1300m at Istanbul on 18 Oct in 3Y HCP 15 carrying 57.5kg from barrier 3, with solid Istanbul and 1300m records to back it up. GÜRDALHAN (3) is second up and won over this course and trip on 1 Jul (Istanbul 1300m, 3Y COND) and was 5th in the same 18 Oct 1300m race with 54.5kg, so fitter. GÜMÜŞ KILIÇ (1) maps well from barrier 2 and has strong Istanbul stats (5:1-3) plus a 2nd at 1300m here on 1 Jul in 3Y COND. ÖZGÜR (5) brings a 1300m maiden win at Istanbul on 9 Sep and was competitive when 3rd over 1400m on 23 Sep, dropping back 300m which may suit.

Strong Istanbul record (5:1-3-0) and draws well in barrier 2. Recent 1500m win here in August with 59kg was followed by a close 2nd over 1200m in September, and he now drops back 200m from a 1500m run 22 days ago. Well placed at the trip he’s handled, with a handy low draw to settle prominently.

Back on a short turnaround after a 2nd at Istanbul over 1300m in 3Y HCP 15, matching today’s track and trip, with 57.5kg from barrier 3. Holds a solid local profile (track 7:1-2-1) and has already placed at the track and distance (1:0-1-0), while the Kaya/Karakuş combo mirrors that recent run. Drawn 6 today with 57.5kg, he looks set to hold form and be competitive again.

Second-up on a short turnaround and returns to a trip and track where he’s 1 from 2, including a 1300m Istanbul win in July (3Y COND) with H Karataş. Last week he was 5th of 10 over 1300m here in a 3Y HCP 15 from barrier 5 with 54.5kg behind Çerkes Enver, and he draws slightly better in 4 today. Proven with the jockey-trainer combo and suited back to this set-up, he can run well.

First-up after 4 months, he returns to Istanbul where he’s 1:1-0-0 at 1300m and has a strong overall track record (3:1-1-1). Last seen winning here over 1300m from barrier 2, and he again draws well in 3 with A.yildiz, who is 1:1-0-0 on him. Proven at the track and trip, he maps for another solid showing fresh.

Proven at the track and trip with a 1300m maiden win at Istanbul three starts back, and is fourth-up into this. Last two runs were a 3rd over 1400m (GOOD3) from barrier 13 in 3Y COND 5, then 5th over 1600m in AR; the drop back 300m to 1300 looks a suitable move. From barrier 5 with 57kg, he maps to get his chance to hold a spot and run to his solid track/distance record.

Draws barrier 1 and drops back 200m after finishing 6th of 11 over 1500m at Istanbul 22 days ago in AR company. Earlier in the prep he posted back-to-back 2nds at Istanbul over 1400m, including behind Özatatmar and Erçetin. Inside draw could help him settle handier and find a consistent finish back at this trip.
