Amal Race 2 - Race 2
GLOBAL F.N.P. (3) comes off a strong Axevalla win nine days ago and draws well; he also had a near-miss 3rd at Vaggeryd prior. EASY PICK (9) is 2/3 at Amal over 2080m and maps as a key danger freshened after tougher assignments. STARO SAVILE ROW (1) gets barrier 1 and has recent 2nd at Aby by 0.04m plus two wins from inside draws. LADY'S IN RED (8) rates a place hope with a last-start 2nd beaten 0.01m and proven Amal/2080m record.

Draws the pole and owns a handy barrier record from gates 1-3 (8:2-0-0), which suits his pattern. Best recent effort was a narrow 2nd at Aby over 2140m on 2 Aug, beaten 0.04m by Dynamite Bore, and he’s kept ticking over with two 5ths since. With 9 days between runs and a favourable map, he looks a competitive hope.

Draws well in 2 and was a narrow 2nd at Arjang over 2140m in June, beaten just 0.03m by The Gentleman. Since then has mixed results, including 4th at Amal over 1680m at $2.38 and 7th here over 2080m last week behind Sherburne S. Barrier helps, but recent Amal/2080 figures suggest a measured hope.

Comes off a strong Axevalla win nine days ago, beating Vasterbo Aramis after starting $41 and scoring by 13.45m. Prior run at Vaggeryd was solid too, finishing 3rd by 0.04m in a 12-runner field. Third-up with a favourable barrier move, he profiles as a live chance if holding that latest form.

Third-up after a month between runs and returns to Amal at 2080m, where he’s yet to win but has a second from five attempts. Latest was 6th at Vaggeryd over 2148m, beaten 13.33m at $22 after a handy third at Farjestad prior at $23. Solid enough recent efforts suggest a competitive showing back to this track and trip.

Season form reads (7:1-0-0), with the win at Örebro over 2100m on 26 Jun (EASY), beating Grit And Grace. Since then he’s had three unplaced runs, including 8th at Arvika over 2500m on 2 Aug at $17, and returns after 35 days with a slight distance drop of 60m. Track and trip stats at Åmål 2080m are winless from three, so a measured view is prudent.

Solid this season (8:3-1-1) and draws better with barrier 6 after a wide run from 10 when 8th at Hagmyren over 2640m eight days ago. Prior run at Solvalla was a sound 3rd of 10 over 2640m at $5, finishing 13.11m from Kristian Croc. With the drop back 560m and Carl Johan Jepson staying on, he looks a measured top-four chance.

First up after 140 days with a handy driver combo historically (Mahony/Olsson 3:1-0-0) and a favourable outer-gate profile (barriers 7-9: 4:1-1-0). Best recent figure was a narrow 2nd at Eskilstuna over 2140m on 8 Mar, beaten 0.01m by Superman Tile. Returns to Amal 2080m where he’s yet to place from two tries, so a measured hope fresh.

Arrives fourth-up off a narrow 2nd at Arjang over 2140m 15 days ago, beaten 0.01m at $5.5 by Gobsmacked. Proven at the trip and track combo (2080m) with a (3:1-0-1) record and has handled wide draws before with a barrier record of (8:2-0-1) from gates 7-9. With Dagfinn Aarum back on, recent form and suitable setup give her a genuine chance.

Proven at Amal and this trip with a strong (Amal, 2080) record of 3:2-0-0. Last two runs were midfield at Arjang and Farjestad, beaten 13.67m and 27.19m at SPs of 11 and 20, after a May Arjang win from the pole. Returns after 51 days with a favourable track/distance profile and looks a chance to improve.

Arrives off a solid 2nd at Orebro over 2140m 17 days ago, beaten 13.42m at $11 behind Surpriced Tooma. Also placed 2nd at Axevalla three starts back (2140m), 13.04m off Lillipilli Templar, and owns a track/distance third at Amal over 2080m. Consistent recent efforts suggest he can be competitive again.

Won at Farjestad over 2140m on 25 May (EASY) beating Classic H. H., then has struggled since with 8th at Axevalla (53.81m) and 8th at Lindesberg (52.15m). Latest run at Vaggeryd on 30 July saw her 7th, beaten 95.12m behind Joakim Palema at 41. With 52 days between runs and a shift to a wider gate, she needs to recapture that May form.

Placed here over 2080m at Amal two starts back, finishing 3rd at $23 behind Maserati Salt. Last time was 4th at Arjang over 2140m, beaten 26.84m by Gobsmacked at $13. Consistent without winning this season (8:0-0-1), and the return to 2080m at this track suits.
