Bollnas Race 1 - Race 1
BEST VIND (3) rates on top after a narrow win at Romme when third up and already proven over 2640m here with a 2nd, and the kinder draw aids her settling. LILL VIKING (4) looks the main danger given strong Bollnas track stats and a recent win, despite a modest last run. TASJO TEDDY (9) is a staying hope with a 2640m win in August and a consistent record at the trip, though recent efforts have been mixed. ODDFAX (1) can feature from the pole with placings at track and trip, but lacks a winning edge; slight nod to BEST VIND (3) in a tight finish.

Solid local profile with (3:0-1-2) at Bollnas. Latest run at Hagmyren over 2140m on 18 Oct reads better than it looks, finishing 7th of 15 but beaten only 0.06m at $6.50. Stretches to 2640m and sticks with Oskar Kylin Blom. Genuine place chance back at this track.

Steps to 2640m after a 2140m run at Bergsaker on 14 Oct at $7.50. Draws Johanna Stark again for Madelen Ess, which keeps the setup familiar. The longer trip could suit given the profile and the small price support last time. Genuine claims to hold a spot in the finish.

Third up and comes off a Romme 2140m win on 19 Oct at $4.33, scoring narrowly by 0.05m on an easy track. Steps to 2640m here, and Björn Steinseth retains the drive. Proven winning touch this prep and drawn to get her chance.

Proven around Bollnas with a solid (12:1-6-1) record at the track. Last start at Gavle over 2140m he finished 7th of 15, beaten 23.48m at $101.00. Steps to 2640m at a venue where he routinely runs into the placings, which brings him into consideration.

Driver change to Claes Sjöström could sharpen things. Last seen at Gävle over 2140m on 17 Oct at $67.00, and now stretches to 2640m at Bollnäs. Claes Sjöström takes over for Simon Wall’s 5yo gelding, which may help the setup. Respectable chance to improve with the new driver and extra trip.

Brings a recent 4th of 12 over 1640m at Momarken on 17 Oct into this longer 2640m trip. Driver switches to Mats E Djuse, which could sharpen the tactics. Neutral claims on exposed form, with the rise in distance the main variable.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and comes off a 1st of 12 at Romme over 1640m on 12 Oct at $5.50, scoring by 11.56m. Reunites with Kenth Åkerlund, under whom he’s (3:1-0-1). Steps to 2640m at Bollnas, but the recent win and positive driver record give him a solid look.

Closed well for 3rd of 11 at Bollnas over 2140m on 10 Oct, beaten just 0.09m at $5.50. Steps to 2640m and sticks with Bo Landgren as driver-trainer. Proven at the track and that narrow margin last time reads well for this longer trip.

Driver: Björn Karlsson

Placed in 3 of his last 5 and now steps from 2140m to 2640m, which looks a plus given a solid (7:2-1-3) record at this trip. Last start at Solanget over 2140m he finished 8th of 15, beaten 22.49m at $13.00. Driver switches to Björn Karlsson. Solid 2640m credentials and a driver change give him a practical setup to be competitive.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and returns first up off a 2-week break. Proven at Bollnas with a (8:2-2-1) record. Last seen at Bergsaker over 2140m on 14 Oct when $3.40, and switches to 2640m here. With Marcus Lilius taking over, profiles as a consistent chance back at this track.

First up after about 5 months, with Fredrik Fransson taking the drive. Last run was 7th of 11 at Bollnas over 2140m on 3 Jun, beaten 77.52m. Steps to 2640m and returns to this track. Needs to lift but the fresh set-up and driver change offer a different look.
