Istanbul Race 3 - Race 3
ANY GIVEN SUNDAY (4) appeals most with a solid Istanbul profile and a recent 4th over 1400m that reads well, and the step to 1600m looks within reach. YONAGUNI (2) is a key threat; consistent this season with two wins and recent placings, and draws low after winning two starts back, though his prior 1600m run here was only 5th. MICKEY MO (5) has upside third up after a soft-track win at 1300m, but rises to 1600m for the first time. KING BALDWIN (1) can improve back to this track and up in trip, with a win this season and a handy record from similar barriers. Leaning to ANY GIVEN SUNDAY (4) in a competitive small field.

Barrier improves from 9 to 6, which should help at the mile. Last start was 9th of 9 over 1400m at Bursa on 30 Oct on good ground. Stays in the same grade and gets O. Yildiz up for T. Ateş. Needs to lift but the draw gives him a cleaner set-up.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and returns to 1600m at Istanbul, where Yonaguni was 5th of 8 on 27 Sep. From inside-to-low draws (barriers 1-3) has a (5:1-1-1) record, which suits a small field of six. Keeps to the same grade and gets F. Çetinbaş up for H. Sunkar. Solid each-way claims on consistency and a suitable map from a soft barrier.

Second up after an Istanbul 1300m run on 4 Nov when 5th of 5, and stays in the same grade. Steps to 1600m which could suit this preparation. With S. Yazicioğlu booked and recent form of placed in 3 of last 5, Maniac has claims to improve.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and brings solid track credentials, with (5:1-1-1) at Istanbul. Last start was 4th of 5 over 1400m here on 28 Oct on good ground. Drawn in the 4-6 alley range where he’s (3:1-1-0), which suits around this trip. Profiles as a reliable each-way type in a small field.

Third up and comes off a 1st of 9 at Bursa over 1300m on 21 Oct on soft ground. Draws to advantage moving from barrier 4 to 1, and sticks with E. Atlamaz for U. Çiçek. Set-up looks tidy for 1600m with that recent win in the book.

Kept safe at only start when 8th of 11 over 1300m at Istanbul on 1 Nov and now stretches to 1600m. Stays in the same grade and retains A. Kaçmaz. Scope to improve with the experience and extra trip for Imperatore.
