Halmstad Race 1 - Race 1
PANDORA RIVER (1) maps to use the pole and her debut 4th at Halmstad over 2140m, beaten 0.11m, reads best of the exposed form. KEEP ME CLOSER (5) comes back to 2140m after two 1609m runs and was 6th at this trip three back at Kalmar. QUEEN BEE BORE (2) resumes and needs to improve on an 8th at Aby over 2140m last start. ROSE ROYCE BOKO (3) has no published recent runs but draws well and is from the Untersteiner yard.

Third-up and drawn the pole after a barrier improvement of five. Closed 4th at Halmstad over 2140m two back, beaten just 0.11m at $6, then finished 6th at Aby over the same trip 14 days ago at $5.5 behind Nutella. Inside draw can help her settle handier and give her a chance to improve.

Returning from a 104-day break and draws better with barrier 2 after a wider gate last time. Finished 8th of 9 over 2140m at Aby on 8 May (EASY), beaten 158.58m behind Fade My Way in a maxEarnings=10000. First-up and yet to place at 2140m (2:0-0-0), so will need to lift.

Well-bred by Trixton out of Sammath Naur Baba and draws barrier 3 for Johan Untersteiner with Axel Ritzman to drive. Three-year-old colt profile and the handy gate could set up a soft trip. Respect any market lead for this set-up.

Lightly raced 3YO colt by Very Kronos for the Andre Eklundh yard, drawn barrier 4 with Eklundh to drive. Breeding suggests speed and manners, and the stable-driver combo keeps things straightforward from a handy gate. Respectable set-up for a debutant, though race-day experience will be the test.

Fourth-up and coming off a 5th at Tingsryd over 1609m, beaten 40.21m at $41 behind R.k.koenigsegg. Prior runs included 8th at the same trip and a 6th at Kalmar over 2140m (EASY), both with sizeable margins. Needs to lift on exposed figures but draws okay and reunites with Bernardo Grasso.

Returns just 3 days after a Halmstad run over 2140m in this earnings cap, having started $67 from gate 3 with Johan Svensson. Also $67 when contesting the same track/trip in June on EASY going from gate 10. With Victor Rosleff taking over and a mid-line draw, he needs to lift on those efforts.

Well-bred by Muscle Hill out of Awesome Annie and prepared by Christoffer Eriksson, who also drives from barrier 7. As a 3YO mare with the same trainer-driver combination, she presents a straightforward setup. Claims hinge on how she handles the draw and race tempo.

3YO colt by Tactical Landing trained by Christoffer Eriksson, drawn wide in barrier 8 with Thomas Uhrberg to drive. Pedigree points to speed and manners, and the setup suggests he’ll need to be efficient early from the second row. A tidy map could see him competitive if he secures a trail.
