Amal Race 7 - Race 7
DENNIZ POPP (6) is flying with back-to-back wins at Axevalla and Vaggeryd, both by narrow margins, and looks set to handle the drop to 1680m. HEARTBEAT ROSE (3) maps well from gate 3 and brings a recent Arvika win plus a Farjestad 3rd this prep. SURTSEY S.I.R (12) rates next after a last-start 2nd at Arjang over 2140m and owns a prior Amal win. LIBERTY PACE (4) has a recent Arvika 2nd to HEARTBEAT ROSE (3) and can be around the mark back to a sprint trip.

Draws the pole after coming from 12 last week at Amal, where he finished 6th of 12, 26.48m from Once A Year at 81. Best recent figure was a 4th at Orebro over 2140m in June despite a big margin, and he now drops 400m in trip with Aleksi Flink taking over. Inside gate and the shorter distance give him a cleaner run setup to improve.

Best recent effort was a 2nd at Lindesberg over 2140m on 07/08 in maxEarnings=120000 (SP 41), beaten 13.13m by Xanadu Skift from barrier 2. Since then finished 8th at Lindesberg on 16/08 (SP 10) and was unplaced at Amal on 30/08. Drops 400m and draws gate 2 with André Bood taking over, which gives him a chance to settle handier and be competitive.

Fourth-up with a handy this season record (5:1-0-1) and a track/place profile that includes 3rd at Farjestad. Won at Arvika over 1700m two starts back (sp 6.5), beating Liberty Pace, then was 4th here over 2140m 13 days ago (sp 9.5) behind Yellowstone Doc. Draws barrier 3 and looks capable of holding a forward spot to give another honest showing.

Runner-up at Arvika over 1700m two starts back at $9.5, beaten 13.2m by Heartbeat Rose, then held 4th at Kalmar over 1640m from barrier 11. Has placed at this track previously and reunites with Mikael Å Linderoth, who has a (21:1-1-4) record with him. Consistent enough of late to be around the mark.

Has placed twice at Amal and returns there from barrier 5, with Peter Ådefors back aboard. Recent runs include 7th at Arjang over 2140m at $41 behind Will To Run, and a 5th at Amal over 2080m, so the shorter trip looks a plus. Consistent without breaking through this season and can be competitive with a smooth run.

In strong form this season (5:3-0-0) and comes off back‑to‑back wins at Axevalla and Vaggeryd, starting $1.45 and $2.05 and edging out Elsalill and Noche Snapper. Carl Johan Jepson reunites after steering the Axevalla victory, and the gate 6 record reads 1:1-0-0. With 6 days between runs and proven at 2140–2148m, he profiles as a solid chance again.

Comes back three days after a 6th at Aby over 1640m at $34, beaten 13.88m behind Numina. Best recent effort was two starts prior when 2nd at Halmstad over 2140m, beaten just 0.07m by Caromio Af Solnas at $8. Mixed results since but that narrow Halmstad run shows he can be competitive with the right trip.

Draws better to barrier 8 after a midfield 4th at Biri over 1609m last week, following a tougher wide-gate run at Rättvik when 6th at $51. Season reads (14:0-1-1) and her barrier 7-9 record shows a placing from two, so a patient drive could see her around the finish.

Lightly raced 4YO gelding drawn 9 for Ole Johan Östre and trained by Per Oleg Midtfjeld. By Ferrari B.r. out of Kamperhaugs Dina (Ready Cash), he has a quiet map from the second row and can be driven for one run. A tidy setup for a patient drive if the tempo suits.

Backed up six days after a solid 3rd at Vaggeryd over 2148m, beaten 12.77m at $20 behind Soldier Of Fortune. Drops 468m in trip and switches to Markus Linryd from Håkan B Johansson, with the same trainer. Recent consistency has been limited, but the latest placing suggests a minor share is within reach if he holds that form.

Improved sharply last week at Orebro, running 2nd of 12 over 1609m at $61, beaten just 0.01m by Lord Gil. Returns 8 days later with the same driver and a slightly wider draw, and owns a prior win at Amal. Recent upswing gives him a reasonable chance to hold his form.

Runner-up at Arjang over 2140m last time, beaten 0m by Will To Run at $1.95, and he owns a solid track card here (Amal: 4:1-0-0). Prior Arjang run produced a close 3rd over 2140m, just 0.05m off The Gentleman. Drops 460m in trip and draws wider, so a measured hope if he can translate that longer-trip form.
