Kalmar Race 1 - Race 1
KICK BACK BOOTS (10) appeals most off a narrow 4th at 1640m (beaten 0.05m), suggesting the motor is there if he lands close enough from the back. BANDIDA (4) looks a major threat second up after a 3rd at 1640m when only 0.09m away, so a repeat keeps her right in it. SPEED SELECT (12) has been around the mark with two 3rds at this trip and a placing here, and the inside draw helps, though the recent 95.66m miss tempers confidence. SEYYID BOKO (2) can improve second up after an Axevalla 2140m 3rd earlier in the prep; with an economical run at this trip he’s in the mix, but the slight edge stays with KICK BACK BOOTS (10).

Lines up over 1640m for Stefan Persson, who also drives. Last booked run was at Farjestad over 1640m on 6 Nov when priced $3.10. With driver-trainer continuity and the same sprint trip, Onemorenight has a straightforward set-up.

2yo mare for Linus Ring with Max Säker Lysell taking over from Johan Svensson. Lines up over 1640m at Kalmar in a 12-horse field, matching the trip of her scheduled Halmstad run on 23 Oct. Measured set-up, with the driver change and sprint trip looking straightforward.

Second up after finishing 3rd of 9 at Axevalla over 1640m on 27 Oct when beaten just 0.09m at $23.00. Stays at 1640m and now heads to Kalmar with Jonathan Bardun to drive and train. Lightly raced and already competitive at the trip, Bandida looks capable of holding her own again.

Second up after a Jagersro 1640m run on 13 Oct when 5th of 6, beaten 39.73m at $34.00. Sticks to 1640m and teams with Joakim Lövgren again. Needs to improve but the experience at the trip can help sharpen the effort.

First starter by Bold Eagle out of Honeybee Frö for Fredrik Persson, who also drives. Debuts over 1640m at Kalmar, which should give a clear read on early speed and manners. Quiet map but pedigree and stable set-up look suitable for this type of assignment.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and has twice hit the frame at 1640m, including 3rd of 5 at Kalmar on 2 Oct when $16.00 and beaten 13.29m. Fourth up with a driver change to Emelie Sivertsson from Victor Rosleff. Latest Aby run over this trip was a tough watch (8th, beaten 95.66m at $81.00), but his distance record (3:0-0-2) keeps him in the mix back to Kalmar.
