From the pole for trainer Stefan Melander with Hampus Bergström up, the setup should give him every chance to settle handy. As a 2YO horse by Nuncio out of Riptide Bay, he profiles as an early type. Draw and connections make him a credible newcomer to consider.

Second-up after debuting 7 days ago at Solvalla, finishing 6th of 7, 38.71m from Qule Sting at 2140m on an EASY track at $6.5. Draws better today with a barrier shift from 7 to 3, and keeps to the same trainer, with Magnus A Djuse taking the reins. With that experience and a kinder gate, he can improve.

Debuted at Solvalla over 2140m a week ago and finished 2nd, beaten just 0.03m by Qule Sting after starting $2.38. Second-up now with a wider draw than last time, and the distance profile reads well (1:0-1-0). Genuine chance to build on that narrow miss.

Debuted at Orebro over 1640m from the pole and faded to 8th of 8, beaten 52.88m on an EASY track at $2.25 behind Liza Kronos. Steps up 500m and moves from gate 1 to 8 for his second-up run, with Claes Sjöström remaining in the bike. Needs to show improvement with the distance rise and wider draw.
