Istanbul Race 6

Race 6

Stake: -

Limited exposed facts here, so keep it simple: PYTHAGOREAN THEORY (4) draws barrier 1 and maps for an economical run at 2100m, with MASTERPIECE (1) also well drawn in 2 and suited by a soft trail. TOR GOLD (6) gets barrier 3 and should be handy throughout, while MODERN WARRIOR (3) brings a strong rider and a middle draw to get his chance.
