Solanget Race 3 - Race 3
DALENS ELVIS (6) rates on recent consistency; last start 3rd at Bollnäs over 2140m, beaten 0.1m, and has 3 wins this season. VIKING LANE (7) is the danger with a close 2nd at Solänget over 2640m by 0.09m and a fast-finishing 3rd here over 2140m prior. GLOBAL ADVENTURE (10) is in the mix after a narrow 2nd at Skellefteå over 2140m by 0.03m and consistent minor placings this season. BANK ANGEL (2) has the right distance profile (5 wins at 2140m) and comes off a close 3rd at Dannero, margin 0.04m.

Second-up with a handy draw after a wide gate last time at Solanget, and he reunites with Kevin Svedlund. His distance record (29:1-0-1) is modest and he was beaten 80.22m when 8th at Bollnas three back, so he’ll need to lift despite the barrier change.

Comes off a narrow 4th at Bergsaker over 2640m, beaten 0.09m at 51. Drops 500m in trip with a better barrier (2) and reunites with Ove A Lindqvist, who has a solid record on him (3:1-0-1). Recent 3rd at Dannero, just 0.04m off Nils Zonett, underlines his competitive touch.

Prolific at this trip with a solid 2140m record (30:8-3-5), and scored at Dannero two back over 2140m at $3.4, beating Exhibition. Freshened 25 days and back to the front line from gate 3, which suits his pattern. Genuine contender if he reproduces that recent Dannero win.

Winner at Skelleftea over 2140m on 13 Aug in minEarnings=365001, edging Deliver by a narrow margin. Since then he was 8th of 10 at Skelleftea over 2140m on 18 Sep (SP 26), beaten 27.71m by King Of Djazz in minEarnings=400001. With a solid overall 2140m record (36:7-4-2), he has a platform to be competitive if he reproduces his August effort.

Recent runs have been testing, including 7th of 8 at Solanget over 2640m, beaten 92.44m at 71. Drops 500m in trip and reunites with Magnus O Jonsson, with whom he has 4 wins from 41 drives. Needs to lift on current season form but a shorter journey could help him hold a spot.

Boasts a solid track record (5:2-0-1) and has been consistent this season (13:3-1-3). Last start he boxed on for 3rd at Bollnas over 2140m, beaten 0.1m by Viewing Window at $17. Well placed to run another honest race from this draw.

Consistent this season (10:2-2-1) and has hit the frame at the track (5:1-2-1). Narrow 2nd at Solanget over 2640m 10 days ago at $2.38, beaten 0.09m by Carl Palema, after a close 3rd there the run prior beaten 0.01m. Drops 500m and switches to Stefan Edin from Susanne H Osterling, which gives him a solid platform to figure again.

Raised eyebrows with a $67 SP 2nd at Umaker over 1640m on 4 Sep in maxEarnings=1600000, finishing 13.7m behind Raven on an EASY track. Latest run 6 days ago at Umaker was inconclusive, but prior efforts include a close 5th at Dannero (2140m) by 0.09m. Back to 1640m suits given that recent spike, and he looks a capable chance if he repeats that figure.

Best recent effort was 4th at Oviken over 2100m, starting $22, before two tougher runs including last time at Solanget when not figured from barrier 10. His distance record (22:0-1-4) and the driver-trainer combination’s modest return (19:0-2-1) suggest he needs the right trip from gate 9.

Brings solid recent form, running 2nd at Skelleftea over 2140m 13 days ago by just 0.03m at $8 behind King Of Djazz. Prior efforts were competitive too, including a 3rd at Dannero over 2140m at $12, and he now draws the pole after a barrier improvement of two. Consistent lately at this trip and looks capable of another honest showing.
