Istanbul Race 7 - Race 7
MIHRA FARAH (4) sets the standard, unbeaten in two runs at 1400m here and coming off a 1st of 8, so proven at the trip and track. TOUCH OF GLORY (5) looks the main danger with a 1400m win at this course and a recent 3rd over 1500m to keep him ticking over. KINZHAL (2) has consistent form and was 2nd over 1400m last start, but needs to rebound from a prior 8th at this course and trip. BAMBI BAMBO (3) is progressive and 2-from-2 this prep, now back to 1400m, but rises in depth away from Bursa; siding with MIHRA FARAH (4) in a tight finish.

Placed 2nd of 6 over this trip at Istanbul on 18 Sep on soft, and holds a solid track record (8:1-4-0). Drawn in the 4-6 alley range where he’s 1 win and 1 second from 3. With H. Çizik booked for H. Sunkar and staying in the same grade, Cose Della Vita has the profile to be competitive again at 1400m.

Placed in 4 of last 5 and holds a (4:1-2-0) season record, so the profile is solid. Latest run was 2nd of 4 at Ankara over 1400m on 15 Oct, matching this trip. Prior Istanbul 1400m run on 25 Sep on soft saw an 8th of 9, but that was the outlier in an otherwise consistent stretch. With H. Karataş booked, Kinzhal brings reliable recent form into this 1400m test.

Third up for Bambi Bambo and comes off a 1st of 4 over 1500m at Bursa on 22 Oct. Stays in the same grade and trims back to 1400m, which could suit at Istanbul. With M. Çiçek up for M. Türkoğlu, the profile is tidy enough to be competitive.

Fourth up and in form, Mihra Farah has won 2 of last 3 and is 2 from 2 at 1400m at Istanbul. Scored over this trip here on 14 Oct (1st of 8) after doing the same on 13 Sep (1st of 13), both on good ground. Strong Istanbul record this season (3:2-1-0) adds confidence for another bold showing.

Proven at Istanbul with a strong record (4:2-0-1) and placed in 2 of last 3. Won over 1400m here on 13 Sep and followed with a 3rd of 7 over 1500m on 1 Nov. Stays in the same grade and keeps A. Sözen. Reliable profile for this trip and track for Touch Of Glory.

Drops back to 1400m after finishing 4th of 7 over 1500m at Istanbul on 1 Nov. Earlier run at this track and trip was 6th of 13 on 13 Sep. Stays in the same grade and keeps A. Yildiz for S. Çiftçi. Solid recent effort and the drop in trip looks suitable.
