Eskilstuna Race 8 - Race 8
FICTION QUEEN (4) appeals third-up from a softer gate after an Orebro 2140m 4th by 0.1m two back and a tougher Eskilstuna run last time. MAGIC MEMORY (2) can build second-up with the gate lift from 5 to 2 after a 4th at Romme over 2140m, 39.66m from the winner. GLOBAL HIMALAYA (11) was 6th at Farjestad over 2140m, beaten 13.07m, and can improve second-up. BELIEVEINME P. (7) backs up quickly off a Lindesberg 2140m 5th, 52.49m away, and draws two better here.

Barrier 1 gives this 3YO gelding by Spartan Kronos a soft starting position. Lars D Carlsson both trains and drives, which should ensure a straightforward setup from the pole. Well drawn to get every chance in running.

Second-up after a 4th of 11 at Romme over 2140m seven days ago, beaten 39.66m by Global History at $71. Draws better here moving from gate 5 to 2, and sticks to the same trip he’s tried once. Can improve with the softer barrier but needs to bridge the margin.

Resumes 10 days after debuting at Gavle over 2140m in a maxEarnings=15000 race at $8.5, with no placing recorded. Draw improves from 5 to 3 and Magnus A Djuse takes the drive. Lightly raced and entitled to improve from that first outing.

Third-up and back with Rikard N Skoglund after a narrow 4th at Örebro over 2140m when beaten just 0.1m at $6.5. Last time at Eskilstuna she drew wider and finished 8th over the same trip on EASY going. With a better barrier today, her prior close effort suggests she can be competitive.

Second up after finishing 6th of 12 at Eskilstuna over 2140m 18 days ago, beaten 39.35m on an easy track at $91 behind Jula Donatella. Draw improves from 9 to 5, which could help him settle closer. Looks a work in progress but may take a step forward from the better gate.

Third-up and back to Eskilstuna over 2140m after a 41-day freshen. Last time here he drew the pole and finished 7th of 11, beaten 52.54m at $51 behind Asta Express. Needs to lift on recent figures at this trip and track.

Backs up quickly second-up after finishing 5th at Lindesberg over 2140m, beaten 52.49m from barrier 9 in a 14-runner maxEarnings=15000. Jenny A Bjork drove there, while Per Lennartsson takes over from a slightly better draw today. With two runs at 2140m this season and recent race fitness, he can be closer with a cleaner trip.

Lightly raced 3yo colt by Calgary Games for Philip Di Luca, drawn outside with Oskar J Andersson to drive. First-time setup at this barrier makes the map tricky, but connections look capable of a tidy showing if he settles early.

Draws barrier 9 with Linda Sedstrom driving for Bjorn Noren. Lightly-raced 4yo gelding by Six Pack from Ottens Julia, and the back-line gate suggests he’ll need tempo to feature. Respect any market move for this setup.

Returns first-up after 5 months with a barrier shift to 10 and Simon Riedl taking the drive. Only prior run came at Orebro over 2140m in a maxEarnings=20000.000000 race from gate 4. Fitness and intent will be clearer here, but the setup suggests a cautious look fresh.

Second-up after a 6th of 11 at Farjestad over 2140m 10 days ago, beaten 13.07m in an EASY track class maxEarnings=8000 behind Mechizedec. Draws wider with barrier 11 (up two spots from last start) but stays at the same trip, and the current jockey-trainer combo has just the one run together. Can improve with the run under the belt but needs a lift to feature.

Draws barrier 12 with Victor Rosleff engaged for David Persson. International Moni gelding out of Indiana Redneck; a tricky gate but stable and driver are capable. Place claims if he navigates the draw smoothly.
