Halmstad Race 5 - Race 5
TIGHT LINES (2) sets up as the one to run down, holding two 3rds at 2140m this prep including Aby when beaten 0.04m and he’s drawn to settle handy. TRITON ALE (3) is a danger back to Halmstad after a narrow 3rd here over this trip and consistent recent 2140m efforts. HEREISJOHNNY (12) warrants respect despite the draw after winning over this track and trip last start, and he’s proven at Halmstad 2140m. ANDROMEDA (9) is in the mix off placings in 2 of her last 3 and a 2140m 3rd at Farjestad, but she may need a cart into it; slight leaning to TIGHT LINES (2).

Third up and switches from Axevalla 1640m to 2140m at Halmstad. Last start at Axevalla over 1640m went around at $3.25, indicating market respect. André Eklundh sticks, and the rise in trip can aid the preparation. Drop The Heartbeat looks to progress further this campaign.

Back to 2140m at Halmstad, the trip and venue of her 28 Sep run when 3rd of 12, beaten 13.35m at $29.00. Latest was over 1640m here on 23 Oct, so this stretch back out in distance looks a better set-up. Valentin Prevost continues as trainer-driver. Competitive on her prior 2140m effort and in the mix if she reproduces that.
