Halmstad Race 1 - Race 1
TAMPA BAY (5) looks ready to break through third up after back‑to‑back 3rds over 2140m, beaten only 0.07m and 0.08m, and maps to get into the race from a handy draw. TAHAYS BLUE MONDO (1) is a key threat second up with strong course stats and a last‑start Axevalla win over 2140m, and the pole helps. DENCOLICENSETOKILL (2) has been holding form with 2nd and 3rd here at this trip, the latest 3rd at Halmstad beaten just 0.11m, and draws much better. PURE COLOR (3) has the winning strike over 2140m and two recent wins, but the 40‑day gap and last‑start 6th temper confidence. Narrow edge to TAMPA BAY (5).

Second up and returns to Halmstad off a dominant Axevalla 2140m win on 3 Nov, scoring by 13.17m at $2.75. That followed a 4th of 12 here over 2140m on 22 Jun when beaten 27.19m at $41.00. André Eklundh sticks, and the recent win suggests he’s progressed since the prior Halmstad run. Well set to hold form back at this trip.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and comes off a narrow 3rd of 12 here over 2140m on 7 Nov, beaten 0.11m at $10.00. That was at this track and trip, so the setup matches. Has a (3:0-1-1) record with Daniel Selin. Honest claims on recent local form.

Fourth up and back to 2140m at Halmstad, where Pure Color started a short-priced $1.55 on 29 Aug. Last start at Axevalla over 2640m he finished 6th of 11, beaten 40.42m at $7.50. Driver switches to Christoffer Eriksson, who also trains, which could help him settle into a more suitable trip. Capable of improving returning to this track and trip.

Driver change to Ole Johan Östre and sticks to 2140m after contesting the same trip at Aby on 14 Oct at $11.00. Three-year-old mare for Eric Martinsson who has been kept to middle trips. With the switch in the bike and a familiar distance, Happy Soul has a straightforward setup to hold her form.

Third up and coming off a narrow 3rd of 12 at Jagersro over 2140m on 4 Nov, beaten 0.08m at $3.20. Same trip suits and sticks with driver Johan Untersteiner. Competitive on that latest effort and can figure again at this distance.

Back to the 2140m at Halmstad where she was 3rd of 11 on 8 Sep, beaten 27.42m at $3.75. Latest run was over 1640m at Jagersro on 24 Oct. Driver switches to Victor Rosleff from Stefan Persson. Honest prior Halmstad run gives her a base to work from at this trip.

First up and switches to Stefan Persson after Christoffer Eriksson handled him last time. Latest appearance was at Axevalla over 1640m on 9 Nov when sent out $3.10, so there was market respect. Back to 2140m at Halmstad with a driver change, he has a workable set-up to give a sight.

Driver change to Christian Cracchiolo after last start at Jagersro over 2140m at $81.00. Stays at the same trip and shifts to Halmstad for Maria T Karlsson. Low profile in the market last time, but the new driver could help find a cleaner trip. Place claims if improving on that effort.
Driver: Julian Cordeau

Stays at 2140m at Halmstad after a 4th of 11 here on 7 Nov, beaten 26.11m at $7.50. Driver change to Julian Cordeau from Anna Afzelius could spark improvement. With that recent local run under the belt, Ture Travare has a place chance if tightening up.

Driver change to Gustav Johansson after finishing 6th of 7 at Aby over 2140m on 26 Aug, beaten 40.9m at $5.50. Returns to Halmstad and this trip, where he started $2.38 over 2140m on 22 Jun. Mixed signals on recent efforts, but the switch of driver and back to this track-distance give him a chance to lift.
Driver: Viktor Brodin

Placed in 3 of last 5 and owns a solid 2140m record (13:1-6-1). Latest run was 5th of 9 at Aby over 1640m on 21 Oct when beaten 14.05m at $51.00. Steps back up to 2140m and gets Viktor Brodin replacing Stefan Persson. Honest claims at this trip with the driver change and rise in distance a possible plus.

Switches to William Liljegren after being driven by Julian Cordeau last start. Comes off a Vaggeryd 2148m run on 22 Aug at $7.00, now back to 2140m at Halmstad. Set-up looks straightforward and the driver change could suit. Respectable chance to be competitive in this line-up.
