Gavle Race 3 - Race 3
VERIATION (3) maps as the one to beat with 2 wins and 2 thirds from four 2140m runs, including a dominant Bollnas win last start and a prior Gavle 3rd in this grade. ROB ROY BOKO (4) is a key danger after a narrow 2nd at Gavle on 31 Jul and a win at Eskilstuna prior. LA NOVA (8) is progressive, 2/2 at 2140 and fresh off a Bergsaker win on 20 Aug. From the pole, LOVE AND THUNDER (1) can be competitive after a close 3rd at Bergsaker last time.

Draws the pole and comes off a close 3rd at Bergsaker over 2140m on 11 Aug, beaten just 0.08m at $5.5 behind Zeebreeze. Has placed in three of five this season and owns a (2140:4:0-1-1) record, with barrier 1 suiting based on prior runs from inside draws. Contender to run well again from the gate.

Proven at 2140m with a solid (2:1-1-0) record, including a Solvalla win on 12 Jun at SP 8.5 defeating Court One. Last time at Orebro (2100m) he didn’t figure after drawing 3, but he now draws 2 with Wilhelm Paal taking over from Erwin Bot. Third-up and back to his best trip, he profiles to run well.

Progressive 3YO with a strong 2140m profile (4:2-0-2) and perfect this season (4:2-0-2) including two wins for Mats E Djuse. Last start bolted in at Bollnas over 2140m, scoring by 13.5m at $1.75 in maxEarnings=65000 company, with Sally Key the runner-up. Returns to a handy barrier and looks well set to run another bold race.

Ultra-consistent this prep (3:1-2-0), including a whisker win at Eskilstuna over 2140m at $1.50 and a nose 2nd at Gavle next time. Last start he was $2.35 and ran 2nd at Eskilstuna over 2140m, beaten 13.6m by Kagli Zet. Fourth-up and drawn 4, his 2140m record (3:1-2-0) under the same driver reads well for another forward showing.

Best recent effort was a 2nd at Mantorp over 2140m on 18 Jun in maxEarnings=45000, beaten 13.24m by Nightbird at $6. Two runs since in stronger bands have been sound, including 4th at Romme over 2140m on 21 Aug (beaten 40.44m) at $14. Consistent at this trip (6:0-1-0) and can be around the mark with a similar run.

Already a winner at 2140m and unbeaten at this track/trip (Gavle 2140: 1:1-0-0). Recent form is mixed: 2nd at Romme over 2140m before a 5th at Bollnas at $2.45 and a 6th at Solvalla at $34. With Ulf Ohlsson aboard and a favourable record at the journey, she has a reasonable case to improve.

Two wins from three this season and perfect at 2140m (2:2-0-0) highlight a progressive profile. Latest Bergsåker win came from the pole at $3, with Balotelli D.e. the runner-up, and he’s 1:1 with Daniel Wajersten in the bike. Drawn wider this time but fourth-up and consistent, he looks set to run well again.

Consistent this season (6:0-1-4) and at 2140m (6:0-1-4), often around the placings. Beaten 0.05m when 3rd at Dannero on 2 Aug at $3.6, and placed here three times in June–May including a 2nd at Ostersund. Draws wider but recent runs suggest another honest showing is within reach.

First up after 123 days with a (3:1-0-0) record at 2140m, and returns with trainer/driver Fredrik Wallin taking the reins. Broke through two back at Axevalla over 2140m on EASY going, narrowly scoring from Kentucky Buck, then held 4th at Örebro and Mantorp in maxEarnings=75000. Drawn wider than recent runs but his 3YO profile and proven trip suggest a tidy showing is within reach.
