RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ISTANBUL (6) is a lightly raced four-year-old with a strong SP profile from his two career starts, despite making mistakes on both occasions. He’s since been spelled and has trialled well in preparation for this. If he brings his manners, he looks the one to beat. ALDEBARAN ZANE (8) changes stables and has shown this season that a win is not far away. He can trail through softly from the draw and if he begins cleanly will be right in the finish. MI BOW (5) ran second here two starts ago, albeit beaten comfortably, and this isn’t a strong race. GALHALLA (3) has had one inconclusive trial but finds a suitable race to debut, so market support should be monitored.
