Halmstad Race 1 - Race 1
PLANET NEWPORT (11) maps as a key chance second up after a 4th at Vaggeryd over 2148m, beaten 12.97m, and now drops slightly in trip. REDRIGHTHAND (6) is also second up and can improve on his Vaggeryd 8th over 2148m, beaten 39.05m. Q.YACHTS (3) resumes at Halmstad with a better draw after a wide gate last time here over 2140m. IREN SKRACK OF X. (9) has race fitness with two recent 2140m runs at Jägersro and can be around the mark.

Draws the pole for Per Nordstrom, which should aid early position. Three-year-old gelding by Googoo Gaagaa out of Oriental Pearl and prepared by the same stable. Map advantage from barrier 1 gives him a practical chance to figure.
Driver: Julian Cordeau

Draws barrier 2 with Julian Cordeau engaged for Sophia Olsson Jacobsen. As a 3YO gelding by Power out of Chumani, he maps to settle handy from the alley. Well placed in running if he steps cleanly.

Resumes after 65 days and draws much better, moving from gate 10 to 3. Only run this season was at Halmstad over 2140m in a maxEarnings=10000.000000, sent out 67.0 and unplaced behind Hard Rock. The improved barrier and experience from that outing give him a chance to progress.

Lightly raced 3yo colt by Orlando Vici from Maharanee Star, prepared by Adrian Kolgjini with Dante Kolgjini to drive from gate 4. Well-related and draws handily to take a forward spot. Respectable prospects if he settles into a rhythm early.

First starter 3yo gelding by Creatine for the Rick Ebbinge yard, drawing barrier 5. Driver-trainer combination stays the same. Market and parade likely to guide expectations.

Second up after a 43‑day break, having finished 8th of 13 at Vaggeryd over 2148m when sent out $91 and beaten 39.05m by Gattuso Effe. Draws a wider gate this time but stays around the same trip. Needs to lift on that return run to be in the mix.

Lightly raced 4yo gelding by Googoo Gaagaa from Blue Magic for Maria Tornqvist, drawn barrier 7 with Stefan Persson to drive. First-up profile and exposed race details aren’t provided, so market and parade may guide. Capable stable/driver combo suggests he’s one to keep safe.

Resumes first up after 8 months and switches from Halmstad to a new setup with a 500m distance rise. Last prep included two unplaced 1640m runs, most recently at Halmstad from the pole behind Coloneltomparker. Barrier 8 and the step to a longer trip present a different scenario, so he’s a watch on return.

Lightly raced 3YO with two runs this season at Jagersro over 2140m in maxEarnings=15000, starting at 61 and 51, and finishing unplaced behind Indy Jones Font and Le Peak. Sticks with Bernardo Grasso and stays at the same trip, but shifts to a wider draw with the barrier_change to 9. Needs to lift on exposed figures to get into the finish.

Lightly raced 4yo entire for Giuseppe Lubrano with Victor Rosleff booked from barrier 10. Pedigree by Power out of Greta Töll suggests speed, and the back row draw will demand a patient drive. A monitoring prospect from the second line.

Second up after a Vaggeryd 2148m run 24 days ago when 4th of 8, beaten 12.97m by Omark at $1.95 from barrier 3. Draws wider here in gate 11, but that first-up effort sets a solid base. Ready to progress with race fitness improving.

Lightly raced 3YO gelding with two Charlottenlund starts this season and no placings yet. Faces a wider barrier today after drawing 3 and 6 in those 2000m runs, with a slight 140m distance change. Needs to show improvement but the stable-driver combination is consistent.
