Solvalla Race 9 - Race 9
VANITA (7) sets a high bar after a 1st then a close 2nd at 2140m, holding form at Solvalla and looking the one to run down. ELEKTRA POWER (3) appeals as the danger with a Solvalla 2140m win and a nose 2nd at the trip this prep. ALWAYS V.G. (1) has gate speed credentials and solid 2140m stats (1 win, 2 placings from 5), so maps to get every chance second up. CONGRATULATIONS (5) is in the mix off back-to-back 2nds at 2140m and a recent win this prep; narrow lean to VANITA (7) in a competitive finish.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and already a 2140m Solvalla winner, scoring 1st of 9 here on 26 Aug at $3.60. Returned to this trip at Solvalla on 10 Oct and was sent around at $22.00. Driver switches to Rikard N Skoglund, which could bring a different steer. Profile at the trip (5:1-0-2) and solid seasonal returns suggest he can be competitive again.

Placed in 2 of last 3 and returns to 2140m, the trip of her Solvalla win on 23 Sep at $20.00. Last start at Mantorp over 1640m she was 4th of 10, beaten 13.55m. Proven at this track and trip (3:1-1-1) and switches to Örjan Kihlström. Solid claims back to a suitable distance with a driver change that has worked here before.

First up after roughly 8 months, returning at the same 2140m she faced here on 18 Mar at Solvalla. Driver switches to Ulf Ohlsson from Jorma Kontio. Lightly raced 3yo mare for Jouni Hillbom resuming in a suitable set-up and can run a neat race.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and returns to Solvalla over 2140m, the same trip as his latest run on 28 Oct. Driver switches to Anders Eriksson from Victor Rosleff, which could sharpen things. With that recent consistency and a familiar track and distance, looks a workable chance.

Third up and sticks to 2140m after a Halmstad run on 23 Oct when 4th of 8, beaten 13.49m at $51.00. Driver switches to Victor Rosleff from Stefan Persson. Scope to progress for Johan Untersteiner and this trip holds no fears. Can run a competitive race with the driver change and added fitness.

Back to Solvalla over 2140m where she last started at $20.00. Latest run was 5th of 6 at Farjestad over 2140m on 26 Oct, beaten 13.46m at $8.00. Andreas Lövdal drives for Andreas Lovdal. Needs to lift on recent efforts but the return to this track could help.
