Farjestad Race 2 - Race 2
ILLINOIS WISE AS (3) appeals most after a narrow 2nd at Aby then a close 4th at Farjestad over 2140m, holding form at the trip. ROY PALEMA (2) is a solid threat with thirds in 2 of his 3 runs at 2140m and consistent recent placings. INFECTIOUS PRIDE (10) has a place chance off two recent minor placings at the distance, including 3rd at this track, though his latest 6th was a setback. LISTAS BUBBEL (7) is progressive and comes off a nose 2nd over a similar trip; if she tucks in from the gate she can figure late. Lean to ILLINOIS WISE AS (3) in a tight finish.

Third up and sticks to 2140m after an 8th of 11 at Arjang on 18 Oct, beaten 39.45m at $81.00. Returns to Farjestad, where she also tackled 2140m on 5 Oct. Petter Karlsson takes over the drive. Needs to lift but the stable change of driver and familiar trip offer some hope for improvement.

Back to the same 2140m at Farjestad where she’s had both career runs, most recently on 5 Oct at triple-figure odds. Three-year-old mare for Bengt Oltorp with Per Nilsson staying on. Low-key profile so far, but the familiar trip and track keep her in her comfort zone.

First up after about 4½ months, and returns to the same 2140m trip. Last seen at Mantorp over 2140m at $51.00, having previously finished 4th of 8 here at Farjestad over 2140m, beaten 25.99m on 11 May. Carl Johan Jepson takes over in the bike. Grounding suggests a quiet profile but the set-up is familiar enough to hold a spot.

Second up and sticks to 2140m at Farjestad after starting $18.00 here on 31 Aug. The continuity in trip and track should help this 3yo mare. With Ole Johan Östre staying on, Lohilo Pellini looks a chance to progress.

Fourth up and placed in 2 of last 3, including 3rd of 10 here over 2140m on 24 Aug (EASY) when beaten 26.76m at $7.00. Latest run at Rattvik over this trip on 2 Oct was 6th of 11, beaten 52.81m at $3.70. Records at the distance (3:0-1-1) and this season (3:0-1-1) show consistency at this level. Honest profile for a minor share back at Farjestad over 2140m.

First up after about 3½ months for Maria Tornqvist. Last start at Vaggeryd over 2148m on 20 Jul he was 5th of 9, beaten 12.97m at $2.88. Back to 2140m at Farjestad with Dwight Pieters driving, a neat fresh set-up to resume steadily.

Second up and sticks to 2140m after an Orebro run at the trip on 29 Oct at $5.50. Driver switches to Björn Goop, which aligns with the stable. With that tightening run and the change in hands, Hickothefabulous has a practical set-up to improve.
