Kalmar Race 2 - Race 2
COLLEEN WOLFE (6) sets the standard, having won 2 of her last 3 including a dominant Kalmar 2140m win and a Visby success, and she maps to get every chance from a soft draw. POWERWITHLOVE (11) is a solid threat after scoring over 2140m last start, clearing out by 13.13m and staying at the trip. BOOTSTRAP BILL (13) must be respected off a narrow Kalmar 2140m win and returns to the same track and distance, though the wider draw tests. MAGIC RUN (8) appeals for exotics with an improving profile after a 2nd at Jägersro over 2140m, but the top two have the edge—slight lean to COLLEEN WOLFE (6).

Third up and sticks to 2140m after two runs at the trip, including at Kalmar on 7 Aug. Latest was Jagersro over this distance at $34.00, so this set-up is familiar. Driver switches to Dante Kolgjini from Adrian Kolgjini. With the experience at track and trip and the driver change, a tidier showing is within reach.

First starter 4yo gelding by Raja Mirchi out of Andy L.a. for trainer Liselott Stenstrom. Tackles 2140m at Kalmar with Tobias J Gustafsson driving. Well-bred type making his debut and the draw and trip should give a fair look at his level.

Fourth up and stays at 2140m at Kalmar. Latest here on 28 Aug she finished 7th of 11, beaten 78.29m at $26.00, after a 6th of 11 over the same trip on 7 Aug, beaten 51.92m at $51.00. Needs to lift but keeps the same set-up with Christian Cracchiolo driving for Stefan Axelsson.

Fourth up and has won 2 of last 3, both with Fredrik Persson. Dominant at Kalmar over 2140m on 25 Sep, winning by 25.85m at $3.00. Followed up at Visby on 17 Oct over 2120m, scoring again at $3.00. In form and proven at the trip and track, she profiles well for this.

Fourth up and sticks to 2140m after a Jagersro run on 30 Sep when 5th of 11 over this trip at $9.50, beaten 26.7m. Joakim Lövgren drives and trains. Needs to lift on that latest effort but race fitness is building.

Second up after a solid 2nd of 12 at Jagersro over 2140m on 27 Oct, beaten 13.47m at $10.00. Returns to Kalmar and this trip, where the 29 Jun run yielded 5th of 11 but with a much bigger 65.99m margin. With Mathias Söderlind driving and training, the latest effort suggests he can hold his form back at this track.

Fourth up and sticks to 2140m at Kalmar, a trip he’s handled twice this prep. Best recent effort was 3rd of 9 here over 2140m on 9 Oct, beaten just 0.05m at $26.00. Driver change to Ken Ecce from Peter Untersteiner. Genuine claims to be in the finish if he reproduces that narrow 9 Oct run.

Fourth up and placed in 2 of last 3, both at Kalmar over 2140m. Latest was 3rd of 9 here on 23 Oct at $2.80, though beaten 52.23m, after a prior 3rd of 10 on 25 Sep when $7.00. Driver change to Gustav Johansson could help sharpen her. Honest recent placings at the trip keep her in the mix.

Second up after a strong 2140m win at Axevalla on 3 Nov, scoring by 13.13m at $2.50 on an easy track. Stays at the trip and shifts to Kalmar with Oscar Ginman taking over from Robert Bergh in the bike. Solid set-up off that performance.

Fourth up and stays at 2140m around Kalmar, which has been the setup at the last two runs. Has been sent out at $16.00 and $51.00 here over this trip, so market respect has varied. With Anders Zackrisson driving and training, continuity could help. A steady profile at the course and distance points to a fair showing.

Comes off a Kalmar 2140m win on 23 Oct at $4.00, scoring narrowly by -0.01m. That followed a 7th of 11 here over 2140m on 12 Sep at $51.00, so the recent upswing is clear. Driver switches to Anton Knutsson. Solid claims to hold form back at the same track and trip.
