Istanbul Race 5

Race 5

Stake: -

AK FILOZOF (1) Got the upper hand late when winning last run at this track and proven performer at this trip. On a winning streak the last 2 starts. One of the top hopes. İLAYTAY (6) Put the head down when winning last start at Bursa and will be well suited at the distance. Can't knock the form winning 2 in succession. Serious player. BENDENIZ (2) Was fighting out the finish when winning last start at this venue. Won last 2 on the bounce. Among better hopes. HIZLI VEYSEL (5) Game effort to win narrowly last start at the track and has a positive barrier. Chance to break through and a could give a show.

Really dug deep when winning last start at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.
