Boden Race 4 - Race 4
TIME MATCH (7) looks primed after a decisive 13.4m win at this track and trip and has a neat record here this season, so despite the wider draw he rates on top. DEVILS TONGUE (10) is a danger with solid 2140m stats and a recent 3rd here (beaten 0.07m) pointing to sustained form. THE OAK L.A. (5) appeals as a local specialist with multiple course-and-distance wins and a recent 3rd here, so must be kept safe. SPEED MATTERS (1) can run into it from the pole with strong 2140m figures and recent placings, but the win record this season tempers confidence; leaning to TIME MATCH (7) in a tight finish.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and has a solid 2140m profile (32:8-4-8). Two runs at this trip here lately: 3rd of 12 on 13 Sep at $3.70, beaten 0.09m, then 7th of 9 on 3 Oct at $51.00, also only 0.09m away. Ulf Ohlsson drives and the proven distance record underpins his claims at this track and trip.

First up after about 48 months, and returns with a driver change from Magnus A Djuse to Tilde Eriksson. The last listed run was over 2140m at Solvalla on 30 Oct 2022, matching this trip. Fitness and timing are the query after the lengthy break, but the set-up is at a familiar distance. Steady profile; the return will tell plenty.

Back to 2140m after finishing 7th of 9 at Solanget on 5 Oct over this trip, beaten 27.21m at $41.00. John Östman takes the drive and a cleaner run would help. Needs to lift but the setup is familiar.

First up after a 2-week break and returns to the 2140m at Boden. Last seen here over this trip on 15 Oct when sent out $7.00. Keeps Jani Lamminparras for Janita Luttunen. Grounding for a forward showing looks in place back to a familiar set-up.

First up after 6 months, and returns to Boden where his last two runs came at 1640m and 2140m. Driver switches to Mika Forss from Ove A Lindqvist. Fitness is the query fresh, but the set-up is familiar and the driver change could help steady the ship.

Placed 3rd of 10 at Boden over 2140m on 15 Oct, beaten 13.46m at $29.00. Stays at the same trip and keeps Tilda Wahlberg in the bike. Solid recent local run suggests he can be competitive again.

Closed hard for 3rd at Skelleftea over 2140m on 18 Sep, beaten just 0.03m at $15.00. Prior run here at Boden over the same trip on 27 Aug was 6th of 11, beaten 13.73m at $4.80, so the recent effort reads better. Driver switches to Ove A Lindqvist from John Östman. Recent improvement and the driver change suggest he can be competitive at this trip.
Driver: Stefan Johansson
Stats

Seasoned 14yo with a strong course profile, placing in 8 of 9 at Boden. At this trip and track he’s 0 from 6 but rarely far away, with 2 seconds and 4 thirds. Comes off a Hagmyren 2140m run on 11 Oct at $61.00 and gets Stefan Johansson aboard for the first time since the last start change. Honest type around here who can land another cheque.
