Solvalla Race 3 - Race 3
SARTRE (6) appeals most off a last-start 1st over 2140m and has solid course-and-trip numbers, so a repeat puts him right in this. MAESTRO UNICO (3) looks the main danger with a strong 2140m record and a recent Solvalla 2nd at the trip. SATSUMA (9) has a case after a close 3rd at Mantorp (beaten 0.08m) and previously ran 5th here at 2140m; the draw isn’t ideal but she maps into it late. MINDELO (1) is a place hope given his Solvalla 2nd over 1640m and a prior track 2nd; slight query at 2140m. Narrow leaning to SARTRE (6).

Fourth up and switches to Jonathan Carré after Eli R Salte. Last run was at Aby over 2140m on 29 Oct at $5.50. Driver change could sharpen things and this trip is familiar. Mindelo presents as a steady prospect here.

Close-up 4th of 11 at Romme over 2140m on 24 Oct, beaten just 0.07m at $61.00, reads well. Prior Solvalla run at this trip on 18 Oct yielded 5th of 12, beaten 26.84m on an easy track at $41.00. Driver switches to Frida Koskela from Hugo Metayer. Solid recent effort at the trip and a familiar circuit give him a chance to hold his own.

Runner-up at Solvalla over 2140m on 19 Aug at $2.00 suggests this trip and track suit. Last start at Mantorp was at the same distance, and now switches to Jenny A Björk in the bike. With that prior Solvalla 2140m placing on the page, can give a forward showing.

Driver: Ailin Berg-Almaas

Proven from this alley range with a sharp (8:4-1-0) record from barriers 4-6. Switches to Ailin Berg-Almaas after Ped Li last time and stays around the 2140m trip he handled at Bjerke over 2120m on 27 Oct. That barrier profile and a like-for-like distance give him a solid platform at Solvalla.

Driver: Madelen Berås

Second up and placed in 3 of last 5, with this season reading (8:1-1-3). Last start at Solvalla over 1640m he finished 5th of 9, beaten 27.87m at $29.00 on an easy track. Out to 2140m now and stays with Madelen Berås. Capable of holding a spot in the finish with a cleaner trip.

Fourth up and comes off a 1st of 11 over 2140m at Romme on 24 Oct at $18.00. Steps to Solvalla at the same trip, which looks a sensible placement. With that last-start win under the belt, he has practical claims in this line-up.

Driver switches to Julia Smedman. Most recent run was at Eskilstuna over 2140m on 20 Oct at $101.00. Stays at the trip and gets a new steer, which could help find a sharper effort at Solvalla.

Close-up 3rd of 11 at Mantorp over 2140m on 2 Nov, beaten just 0.08m at $12.00, reads well. Prior Solvalla run at this trip on 20 Sep was 5th of 11, beaten 27.07m at $2.35, so returns to this track with something to prove. Driver switches to Julia Andersson from Gustav Hellman. Genuine recent effort suggests a competitive showing if she brings that Mantorp form to Solvalla.

Back to 2140m after a solid Eskilstuna run on 20 Oct, finishing 2nd of 12 over this trip at $3.60, beaten 13.36m on an easy track. Driver change to Jennifer Persson, who has partnered for a (5:1-1-1) record. This season’s return of (13:3-2-3) underlines consistent effectiveness. Well set to hold form at Solvalla.

Second up and stays at 2140m after finishing 4th of 12 at Solvalla on 18 Oct, beaten 26.82m at $51.00 on an easy track. Driver switches to Nicole Melberg from Jimmy Nilsson. Also has prior experience at this track and trip on 15 Apr. Needs to build on that latest effort but the continuity at course and distance and the driver change offer some upside.

Back to 2140m again after Eskilstuna on 26 Oct where he was 8th of 10 over this trip, beaten 68.57m at $41.00 on an easy track. Sticks with driver-trainer Lovisa Bernmark. Needs to lift on that latest run but draws some hope if finding a cleaner trip.
