Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8
GRAVITAS (6) appeals off his 2nd at Istanbul on 13 Sep over 1400m (TB), drawn 4 and carrying 57kg, and he stays at the trip fourth-up. SUNLIGHT POWER (9) is a threat after a strong 3rd here on 11 Oct over 1300m from barrier 11 and now draws 4. MY ZEKO (1) has consistent Istanbul juvenile form, including 3rd over 1500m on 18 Oct from the inside draw, and maps well again from barrier 3. SHINO (4) brings upside second-up after a debut 3rd at 1300m on 30 Sep and steps to 1400m.

Consistent juvenile with four 4ths and a last-start 3rd at Istanbul over 1500m in a 2Y MDN, sticking on behind Orbital Flame and Rebel Millionaire. Drops back 100m and draws barrier 3, with Istanbul experience evident in a (6:0-1-1) track record. Honest profile suggests another competitive showing.

Second-up after a 6th of 9 in a 2Y MDN over 1500m at Istanbul 19 days ago, and now drops 100m while drawing barrier 2. Returns to A. Kurşun, who rode when 4th of 6 over 1000m here in May, and the soft gate can help her settle closer. Respectable prior efforts suggest she can be competitive with natural improvement.

Debutant 2YO from U.bi̇li̇k draws barrier 6 with Y.gökçe booked. By Ameri̇kali out of Molto Bene (by Scarface), the setup reads straightforward and professional. Market and parade may guide, but the profile is tidy enough to consider.

Promising debut at Istanbul over 1300m, finishing 3rd of 9 from barrier 7, second-up today with similar draw. Holds a consistent set of early stats with the same jockey and trainer, including a track placing. With just a slight 100m shift, a repeat of that effort puts this juvenile in the mix.

Second-up after a single Istanbul 1300m TB run 33 days ago when 6th of 9 from barrier 7. Draws better in barrier 5 and steps slightly in trip, with the same rider and trainer combination retained. Scope to improve with that experience under the belt.

Progressed to a 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m last start (TB, 57kg) and is 1:0-1-0 at the trip and track-distance. Fourth-up now with a barrier improvement to 9 from 4 last time, and returns after 50 days. Solid profile for another forward showing.

Third-up and holding form after back-to-back 4th placings at Istanbul, latest over 1300m in TB class from barrier 9. Drops 1 gate to barrier 8 and steps to a similar trip (distance change 100m), which looks a workable setup at 57kg. Progressive profile this prep suggests she can be competitive again.

Fourth-up and draws the inside after a 41-day freshen, having shown best when 4th of 9 over 1400m at Kocaeli on 8 Sep (TB, GOOD, 57kg). Istanbul debut was a 7th of 8 over 1300m from barrier 1, but the step back to 1400m and the rail draw could help his pattern. Honest recent efforts suggest he can be competitive with a soft run from barrier 1.

Third-up and improved sharply second start when 3rd of 10 at Istanbul over 1300m (TB) from barrier 11, behind Aristocat and Queen Mihri. Draws better in barrier 4 and stays around the trip, which looks a positive setup. Genuine place chance if holding that progression.
