Draws the pole with a 3:1-1-0 record from low barriers, and scored at Lycksele over 2140m in June, defeating Iron Cloud. Comes back 500m from recent 2140m runs and is on a 6‑day turnaround after Umaker. Solid setup from the draw for this mare to give a forward showing.

Runner-up at Solanget over 2140m 10 days ago, beaten 13.1m by Funny Guy at $6.5, which reads as his best recent effort. He draws well again and keeps Ricky Eklund, and his Solanget record (6:0-1-1) suggests he handles the track. Measured chance to hold form back to 1640m.

Comes off a narrow 2nd at Ostersund over 2140m on 10 Sep, beaten 0.04m at $4.60 in maxEarnings=85000 after working from barrier 7. Previously won at Bergsaker over 2140m on 3 Aug (maxEarnings=600000), edging Jiri Kucera. Drops 500m and draws better in 3, which can help her settle handier and give a competitive showing.

Fresh off a 5th at Bergsaker over 2140m nine days ago after leading out of the pole, she now draws 4 and drops 500m in trip. Her August Dannero win at 2140m (SP 2.5) reads well, and she’s 2 wins and 2 seconds from 10 this season. With Henrik Svensson back on, this mare has the recent scores to be competitive again.

Draws the pole and owns a solid 1640m record (7:1-1-1), including her Lycksele win on 30 Jun over Girlpower W.f. at 2.9. Hasn’t featured in two September runs, but the gate shift to 1 and driver change to Taneli Säde offer a softer map. Capable of improving if she secures the pegs early.

Drops 1000m in trip and draws gate 2, which could help after three unplaced runs in September over longer journeys. Latest was 7th at Dannero over 2640m, beaten 12.97m at $23 behind Abbott. With a handy barrier and a positive track record (6:1-0-0), she can be around the mark if the shorter distance suits.

Proven at this track and trip with 2 seconds from 2 runs, and he scored at Dannero over 2640m on 16 Aug (SP 13), beating Lugnets Ametrin. Last time at Solanget he was 5th over 2640m, 13.04m from Elegance Runner. Back to 1640m from gate 3, his consistent Solanget record suggests he can be competitive.

In solid form this season (4:1-0-2) and unbeaten at this track from two runs including a win. Last start he was 3rd at Solanget over 1640m, beaten 13.4m at $2.90 behind Almond Remix after scoring there the week prior over 2640m from barrier 6. With the return to Ove A Lindqvist from his August run, he profiles as a consistent chance.

Placed 3rd at Solanget over 2140m 10 days ago, beaten 13m by Funny Guy after starting $6.5. She also has a recent 2nd at Hoting (1660m) on July 7, which aligns with her solid distance record (14:1-4-0). With the trainer-driver combination already yielding a placing, she looks a consistent mare capable of featuring again.

Consistent of late with 3rds at Solvalla on 23 Sep (0.04m) behind Barn Bank and at Bergsåker on 20 Aug in maxEarnings=350000. Track record is solid (3:1-0-1) and he owns a handy distance record (7:1-1-1). Drops 500m in trip and shifts to barrier 6; measured chance if he holds that recent level.

Third-up and coming off a close 3rd at Bollnas over 2140m on 3 Sep, beaten 0.05m at $4.33 behind Mare Mareh. Drops 500m in trip and shifts from barrier 1 last time to 7 here; his distance record (5:1-0-1) and solid driver stats (32:5-2-7) suggest he can be competitive with the right trip.

Proven at sprint trips with a solid distance record (10:3-1-0) and a good mark at this track (3:1-1-0). He was beaten just 0.01m when 2nd at Hoting over 1660m on 10 Jul at $13 behind Shivers, and now draws a similar gate. Freshened 83 days and drawn 8, he looks capable of giving another honest account.

Placed at this track previously and draws wider after a barrier change. Latest run 8th at Solanget over 2140m on 14 Sep, beaten a long way by Boba Fett at 51. Drops 500m in trip and reunites with Anna-Lena Forsberg, which could help him find a handier spot.
