Skelleftea Race 1 - Race 1
ANGLA PIRAT (6) is third-up and comes off a Dannero win over 2140m eight days ago, beating a 9‑runner field with Henrik Kihle aboard; that recent 4th at Umåker also reads well. TEKNO PIRAT (4) is on the quick back‑up and was 5th at Dannero over this trip, and can improve third‑up. RAPUNZELS TRASSEL (5) resumes second‑up with solid Skellefteå experience (three prior runs at the track) and a kinder draw than last time.

Draws the pole for Ove A Lindqvist, which should aid position in the run. Lightly raced 3YO entire by Lome Brage out of Eldsy for Andre Andersson. Barrier 1 gives him a chance to settle handy and make his presence felt.

Draws barrier 2 with John Östman for Julianne T Carlsen, a favourable starting spot for a 4YO entire. First look here under race-day pressure, but the setup gives him every chance to settle handy. Keep safe with the good gate and experienced driver.

Drawn the pole for Tom-Christer Nygård, which can set up a soft trip in transit. Five-year-old entire by Roli Eld for Julianne T Carlsen; maps to get every chance from barrier 1. Respectable claims if he capitalises on the gate.

Third-up after two 2140m runs this season, most recently 5th of 9 at Dannero from barrier 2, beaten 64.2m at $26 behind Angla Pirat. Prior start 8th of 10 at Umaker on an EASY track, 93.02m off Hallsta Melker at $17. Needs sharp improvement but draws low again and is still early in the prep.

Second-up after a 31‑day break and draws barrier 3, with Micael Melander taking over again. Yet to place in four runs at 2140m and three outings at Skelleftea, including a 7th over this trip here in May. Needs to lift on exposed figures but the gate helps.
