Istanbul Race 3

Race 3

Stake: -

VANTABELLA (5) Came in 2nd last run at this venue and good career start. Jockey öZcan Yildirim is a plus and going up in trip. Going well this preparation. Will give a big sight. LA COPA (1) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at Adana. Racing consistently this campaign. Right in this. ICE DROPS (6) Racing on a quick back up. Looked good when 2nd last run around here. A win wouldn't surprise. KOKO LOKO (3) First up from a break of 14 weeks and in the money when 2nd first up last preparation at Ankara. Vedat Abi̇ş is a pivotal booking. Each way value.
