Farjestad Race 9 - Race 9
FANCY FREE (3) appeals most with two wins from his last three and a dominant 13.55m Solvalla success, plus strong figures with this driver and a prior 2640m win. FANGIO (8) is a danger stepping back to 2640 after consecutive 3140m seconds and owns 3 wins at this trip, though the wide draw tests. B.T.'S VENCOR (9) is in the mix off recent 2nd at Farjestad and consistent 2640m efforts, including minor placings here at the trip. Fresh DAVID BOWIE (2) has placed at 2640 and resumes from a good draw; if near his late-2025 form he can figure. Lean FANCY FREE (3) in a measured verdict.

Third up and switches back to Morgan Ivarsson in the bike. Latest run was at Farjestad over 2140m on 7 Sep at $34.00. Steps to 2640m, which could suit his staying profile. Respect the driver change and added fitness.
Driver: Björn Goop

First up after about 12 months off, with recent form showing placed in 2 of last 3. Latest run was 2nd of 11 at Orebro over 2100m on 19 Oct 2025, beaten 13.88m. Björn Goop drives, and this is a measured return over 2640m.
Driver: Niclas Benzon
Stats
Comments
Comes in off strong recent form, having won 2 of the last 3 and scoring at Solvalla over 2140m on 21 Oct at $2.80. The Benzon connection is a clear plus given their (5:4-0-0) record together, and he’s been effective from inside draws with (6:3-1-0) from barriers 1-3. Returns to Farjestad and back out to 2640m after a 5th here on 24 Aug when beaten 13.48m, but his current touch and driver stats keep him in the mix.
Driver: Jorma Kontio
Stats

Proven with Jorma Kontio (3:1-1-0) and draws within his preferred alley range, having placed in half of eight starts from barriers 4-6. Last seen at Solvalla over 2140m on 28 Oct at $19.00, so this rise to 2640m is a new ask but not a negative on paper. With the driver rapport and a workable draw profile, Rarely Access has claims to be in the mix.
Driver: Roy Atle Ruud Nilsen
Stats

Closed hard for 3rd of 9 at Eskilstuna over 2140m on 20 Oct, beaten just 0.07m at $7.50 on an easy track. Steps to 2640m and reunites with Roy Atle Ruud Nilsen after Magnus A Djuse last time. That narrow placing reads well and gives him a solid platform for this longer trip at Farjestad.
Driver: Ole Johan Östre

Driver switch to Ole Johan Östre and steps to 2640m after finishing 6th of 12 at Farjestad over 2140m on 26 Oct when beaten 13.79m at $9.50. That run gives a solid local reference, and the extra trip could suit this 4yo gelding. With a stable connection to trainer Andre Bood maintained, he looks a fair each-way style chance to hold a position in this line-up.
Driver: Petter Karlsson
Stats

Placed in 3 of last 5 and teaming again with Petter Karlsson, with whom he’s (8:1-3-2). Last start at Aby over 2140m on 21 Oct he went around at $61.00. This season strike-rate is solid (8:2-2-1). Honest profile suggests he can be competitive over 2640m at Farjestad.
Driver: Carl Johan Jepson
Stats
Comments
Third up and placed in 2 of last 3, he comes off a 2nd of 14 at Jagersro over 3140m on 24 Oct, beaten 13.4m at $5.00. The drop to 2640m could suit after that staying trip. With Carl Johan Jepson driving and a this season record of (8:1-3-1), Fangio has honest claims in this line-up.
Driver: Magnus Jakobsson
Stats

Placed in 3 of last 5 and returns to 2640m where he was beaten just 0.08m when 2nd of 9 at Farjestad on 24 Aug at $9.50. Latest run here over 2140m on 26 Oct was a solid 2nd of 12, beaten 13.7m at $67.00. Stays with Magnus Jakobsson and the return to this trip looks a plus. Genuine place claims on that recent track-and-trip effort.
Driver: Linda Sedström

Back to Farjestad off a 5th of 12 here over 2140m on 26 Oct, beaten 13.79m at $41.00. Steps to 2640m and keeps Linda Sedström for Magnus Jernemyr. Needs to lift on that latest effort but the extra trip could suit. Place chance with a softer run.
Driver: Per Linderoth

First up after 2 weeks and switches to Per Linderoth. Last seen at Mantorp over 1640m on 19 Oct at $91.00. Set-up is different here and the driver change could help her present more competitively.
Driver: Magnus S Karlsson

Placed in 3 of last 5 and now gets Magnus S Karlsson taking over the drive. Last start at Orebro over 2100m on 25 Sep was 7th of 15, beaten 13.81m at $31.00. Stays at a suitable trip and the driver switch could help him hold his form.
