Istanbul Race 8

Race 8

Stake: -

NISAM (6) brings the most relevant profile, breaking maiden over 1400m at Istanbul 12 days ago and owning a solid track/distance record. AĞA SABRININ ZAFERI (4) is third-up on a short turnaround after a 1300m Adana maiden win and draws better (barrier 3), so can measure up. KESTEL YIĞIDI (1) maps well from barrier 2 and has strong recent Istanbul mile form including a win on 28 Aug, with a slight drop back to 1400m. ÇAĞRI HAN (5) was a first-up 1200m winner at Istanbul and steps to 1400m second-up, keeping him in the mix.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul with a recent 1600m AR win and two earlier seconds here, and now draws well in barrier 2. Drops 200m after an 18‑day freshen, with a 1400m placing on soft two starts back suggesting the trip is fine. Consistent this season (4:1-1-1) and looks set to run well again under A.sözen.

Consistent without breaking through this prep, best recent effort a 4th of 6 over 1200m at Istanbul on 7 Aug and again 4th of 6 over 1200m at Ankara on 27 Aug. Steps to 1400m with 59kg off a 7th of 11 at Ankara (1300m, SOFT) 20 days ago; barrier 6 suits given his past runs from this draw range. Competitive for a share with a similar run.

Comments

In strong this-season form (5:2-1-0), including wins at Ankara 1300m and Adana 1200m in August/September. Forgive the Istanbul 1400m 10th from barrier 11; last start he improved to 4th of 15 over 1600m at Ankara and now drops 200m with a better barrier 4. Solid setup to be competitive back to 1400m at Istanbul.

Comes third-up on a short turnaround after breaking maiden at Adana over 1300m last week from barrier 12, and now draws gate 3. Prior run was a 2nd at Istanbul over 1200m, and he stays around that trip with a slight +100m move. Solid this season (2:1-1) and maintains a proven jockey-trainer combination.

Impressive debut winner at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y COND 1, scoring from barrier 5 under 57kg on good ground. Returns second-up after 19 days and stretches to 1400m, keeping a middle draw and the same stable. Proven locally and still unexposed, he looks to progress with the extra trip.

Broke through at Istanbul over 1400m in 3Y MDN 12 days ago, and is 1/2 at the trip and 1/2 at the Istanbul 1400. Prior runs included a 2nd over 1600m (AR) on soft and a 3rd in a 3Y MDN at 1300m, indicating consistent progression this season (4:1-1-1). With a solid current-season profile and positive track/distance stats, he looks to hold his form.

Placed 3rd over 1400m at Bursa on 11 Sep (AR, 9 runners, 55kg) and has a 1400m record of (2:0-0-1). Comes back 100m after a 6th in a 3Y HCP over 1500m at Bursa 12 days ago and draws barrier 8, a range in which her record reads (2:1-0-1). Genuine placing chance if she reproduces that prior 1400m effort.

Comments

Comes back quickly on a 7‑day turnaround after a solid 4th of 14 in a 3UP HCP over 1200m at Istanbul from barrier 9. Previously broke her maiden at Bursa over 1400m from the inside draw, and she again lands barrier 1 here with a 200m rise in trip. Inside gate and proven at 1400m suggest a practical setup for another forward showing.
