Third-up from gate 1 after 75 days, with a 1-from-3 record at 2140m this season. Won at Bergsaker over 2140m two back in an easier maxEarnings=20000.000000 race, then finished 7th at Solvalla in a maxEarnings=75000.000000 field. Inside draw and the prior win suggest he can settle better and improve.

Consistent at 2140m this season (5:0-1-1) and runner-up at Gavle over this trip on 9 May, drawn well again in gate 2. Latest two runs were solid: 3rd at Hagmyren beaten 0.08m, then 4th at Rattvik from the pole at $34 behind Nickel Curve. In the mix from a favourable draw with the current driver-trainer combination (4:0-1-1).

Fourth-up and returning to 2140m where her record sits at (4:1-0-0). Last start she drew 7 at Bollnas and boxed on for 4th of 11, 13.31m behind Pure Phoenix at $51 on an easy track. Earlier in the prep she scored at Rattvik over 2140m, and with a favourable barrier today she looks a steady each-way style chance.

Building a sharp record at 2140m (3:2-0-0) and unbeaten this season (3:2-0-0), he comes off back-to-back wins six and 18 days ago. Scored at Hagmyren from gate 1 at $1.26 after an Orebro success from gate 6 at $1.95, both with Kihlström for Redén. Barrier 4 suits given the profile, and he looks a strong chance to progress again third-up.

Ultra-consistent 3YO gelding with a perfect record of seconds this season (3:0-3-0), all at 2140m. Narrowly missed at Bollnas 10 days ago from barrier 11, beaten 0.01m by Executive Duchess, and earlier was runner-up at Gavle at $2.70. Fourth-up and drawn better in 5, he profiles to be in the finish again.

Progressed to a 2nd at Bergsaker over 2140m 20 days ago, beaten 13.06m by About Time Trot in a maxEarnings=25000, and teams up again with Marcus Lilius who drove that run. Prior outing was a solid 3rd at Gavle over the same trip in a maxEarnings=15000 at $13. Third-up and holding form at 2140m (2:0-1-1), he looks set to give another honest account.

Arrives second up after a debut win at Eskilstuna over 2140m, scoring narrowly by 0.01m on an EASY track at $1.50. That success came with Robin Bakker for Paul J P Hagoort, and he’s 1-from-1 at the trip and with this driver-trainer combo. Barrier 7 is a slight shift wider, but the unbeaten profile this season suggests he can measure up again.

Fourth-up and proven at 2140m (3:1-0-1), he was a close 3rd at Solvalla last time from barrier 8, beaten 0.03m behind Vikens Upmarket. Prior run he won at Bollnas over 2140m, edging Magnification by 0.01m. Drawn wide again but his recent Solvalla placing and this-season profile (3:1-0-1) suggest he can be competitive.

Progressive 3YO third-up with a 2:0-1-1 record this season and unbeaten with Djuse (1:1-0-0).

Draw a bit wider now, but his 2140m record (2:1-0-1) reads well for another forward showing.

Consistent this season (3:0-2-0) and profiles as a solid chance to figure again.
