Visby Race 5 - Race 5
VASTERBO HYACINT (10) arrives second up off a Visby 2120 win last start, putting 12.78m on CASH IS NICE (4), and maps as the benchmark. CASH IS NICE (4) meets a similar setup after that 2nd here over 2120 and draws better than last time. ALBIN LIXARVE (8) wasn’t far off them when 4th in the same Visby 2120 race, 25.64m from VASTERBO HYACINT (10), and can hold a spot. FIONA FINDARVE (2) brings a narrow 3rd here two back over 2120 (0.04m) and is third up for this trip.

First-up after 95 days and draws the pole, with a barrier record of (3:0-0-1) that includes a 3rd from the inside at Gavle over 2140m. Last prep’s best run was 3rd at Gavle (2140m, EASY), beaten 13m by Aloha, before a 5th at Bollnas when beaten 38.75m. Maps to get economical running from barrier 1 and can improve fresh at this level.

Third-up and already a Visby 2120m placegetter, she was a narrow 3rd here on 13 Aug, beaten just 0.04m at $6. Claes Sjöström, who drove in that run, reunites from a good draw after a forgive 7th 12 days ago when beaten 91m behind Flys Unexpected. Competitive if reproducing her penultimate effort.

Returns first-up with two thirds from six runs this season and a handy barrier 3, having placed once from three draws inside the first three gates. Best recent effort was 3rd at Kalmar on 27 Mar over 2140m, beaten 0.03m after working from barrier 7. Competitive on that form and the draw gives him a chance to settle prominently.

Second-up after a solid 2nd at Visby over 2120m 12 days ago, beaten 12.78m at $9.5 from barrier 7. Holds a 1:0-1-0 record at both the track and trip, all with Petter Karlsson, and draws better here in gate 4. Honest recent run and the improved draw can keep him in the mix.

Lightly raced 4YO gelding by Googoo Gaagaa out of Sofia's Love for trainer Maria T Karlsson. Draws barrier 5 with Christian Cracchiolo engaged, which could offer tactical options early. Keep safe at this setup.

4yo gelding by Call Me Keeper for Tjelvar Andersson, drawn wide in 7 with Micael Stjernstrom engaged. Breeding suggests staying power, and the gate will demand early decisions. Respectable claims if he settles handy from the alley.

Fourth-up and holding form at Visby, including 4th of 11 over 2120m on 25 Aug when beaten 25.64m at $23 behind Vasterbo Hyacint. Also ran 4th of 7 here on 23 Jul, 24.93m off Maytag Blue, with a midfield 7th in between at $61. Honest recent efforts without landing a blow suggest a place chance with the right run.

Consistent Visby campaigner without a podium this season, placing 5th here 12 days ago over 2120m at $51, beaten 78m by Flys Unexpected. Also 5th two back at Visby over 2120m in a 15‑runner maxEarnings=35000.000000, and 5th prior in stronger maxEarnings=125000.000000 company. Plain figures but has been holding midfield spots; a minor share would be a lift.

Arrives second-up after a Visby 2120m win 12 days ago, drawing 3 and scoring by 12.78m over Cash Is Nice at around 5. Has a solid profile at this track and trip (2:1-0-0) and is 1/1 when second-up; barrier 10 is the new challenge but the recent win reads well.

Lightly raced 4yo gelding by Daley Lovin out of Surprise Sand, drawn wide in gate 11 for Thomas Jonsson. Kenneth Gorski takes the drive, and the setup suggests he’ll need a tidy steer from the back line. A measured prospect from the draw.

Second-up after an 8th of 12 at Visby over 2120m 12 days ago, beaten 91m from the outside draw at odds of 51. Same trainer with a driver change to Niclas Hammarstrom and the same wide barrier again. Needs sharp improvement but can strip fitter for that debut run.
