Solvalla Race 1 - Race 1
ROCKSTEADY ARTIST (5) sets the standard, unbeaten in four with two wins at Solvalla over 1640 and a dominant 13.55m romp here, plus perfect stats from similar draws. CORA PEARL (7) is the main danger after winning 2 of her last 3, including at 1640, and brings a recent 2140 success, though the wide gate tests. SHANKLEY (6) has claims on 2 wins from his last 3 and a good record from middle draws, but his latest 13.68m defeat tempers confidence. DUNDEE (4) is capable at this trip with a prior 1640 win, yet his two subsequent efforts were well beaten, so he needs to lift; narrow edge to ROCKSTEADY ARTIST (5).

First starter for Stefan Melander with Örjan Kihlström booked, a solid set-up for a 2YO at 1640m around Solvalla. By Nuncio out of Digital Pro, which suits the local gaiting profile. With no race-day form to go on, the stable/driver combination offers a reliable guide. Competitive debut claims without overreaching.

Third up and comes back from 2140m at Eskilstuna, where he was 4th of 8 on 20 Oct, beaten 13.04m at $17.00 on an easy track. The cut back to 1640m at Solvalla could suit with race experience building. With Magnus A Djuse staying on, there’s a platform to progress.

Won 2 of last 3 and arrives off a 2140m Romme win on 12 Oct at $2.05. Drops back 500m to 1640m and returns to Solvalla, where she was 6th of 8 over this trip on 11 Sep. The switch to Björn Goop from Per Linderoth and a 1640m record of (3:1-0-1) are positives. Profiles as a capable filly suited by the shorter trip with her current form.
