Istanbul Race 8 - Race 8
TITANESS (11) sets up as the one to beat from barrier 1, holding consistent Istanbul form and coming off a 3rd at this trip after a close 2nd prior; a soft draw should see her in the right spot. QUEEN Z (8) is a solid threat with placings in two of the last three and a 3rd at this track and distance, proven on GOOD ground around this trip. ELF STORM (3) has upside second up after a 2nd over 1400m on SOFT here and should be suited back to 1300m from an inside gate. CRAFTY WARRIOR (2) also appeals second up off a debut 3rd at 1400m and can figure with natural improvement. Slight edge to TITANESS (11) on reliability and run style.

Stays in the same grade and returns to 1300m after a pair of 5th placings at Istanbul on GOOD going. The latest was over 1400m on 4 Nov, and prior run at this trip on 11 Oct was also 5th of 10. With G. Özçelik booked, Kimdraka brings consistent city experience and a repeat of those efforts can keep her competitive.

Second up after a 3rd of 8 over 1400m at Istanbul on 25 Oct on soft ground. Drops back to 1300m on good going, which could suit at this stage of the prep. A. Kurşun sticks for H. Harmanbaşi. Crafty Warrior can build on that solid return.

Third up and holding form after a 4th of 10 over 1200m at Istanbul on 7 Oct on good ground. Earlier finished 4th of 6 over this 1300m trip at the same track on good. With race fitness built and proven at the course and distance, Mi Voila can be competitive again.

Second up after a 1300m Istanbul run on 26 Aug on GOOD where she finished 6th of 6. Stays in the same grade and keeps Er. Cankiliç. Small field last time, so with race fitness now she can be more competitive at 1300m on this track.

Back to 1300m at Istanbul, where Northern Love was 5th of 8 on good ground on 21 Aug. Most recent run at Bursa over 1400m yielded 10th of 11, so this drop in trip and return to this track look more suitable. Same grade as last start. A. Kaçmaz takes the ride for G. Taşdelen, and a mid-field showing is within reach back under these conditions.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and holds a (3:0-0-2) this season, suggesting genuine consistency. Fourth up and back to 1300m on GOOD, matching the Istanbul run on 21 Aug when 3rd of 8. Also 3rd of 10 over 1400m on SOFT at Ankara on 24 Oct, so handles varying conditions. Stays in the same grade and profiles as a solid place chance for Queen Z.

Second up after a 5th of 8 over 1400m at Istanbul on 25 Oct on soft ground. Drops back to 1300m and stays at the same track on a good surface, which could suit. M. Kaya rides for Mur. Akkiliç. Low-key form so far but the set-up is a touch more favourable here.

Mixed at the trip here, running 4th of 9 on 11 Oct before finishing 10th of 11 on 1 Nov, both at 1300m on GOOD. Stays in the same grade and keeps E. Bozdağ at Istanbul. Capable of better than the latest run if reproducing the earlier effort.
