V85 Gavle April 2

Easter bonanza and V85 in Gävle this Maundy Thursday.

We have co-ops for tonight's game HERE

V85-1 

6 Chiara WB is a candidate to take the lead. It is the first time she has been barefoot around the track, which could give an extra effect. She got off to a good start from slot 7 two starts ago, took the lead early and won very convincingly. The last start can be cancelled due to a throat infection, so that performance can be ignored. Our winner in the race.

10 Maker's Wall Ås is my second choice. His form seems to be improving after a somewhat disappointing performance last time according to the stable, and the reports from training are positive. The horse has both capacity and good finishing speed, which makes him interesting here. Much will depend on how he handles the vaulting start, but if he gets going well, he is set for a strong performance. No major changes have been reported, which indicates that there is faith in the plan as it is.

Continuous results HERE

V85-2 

2 Before Takeoff is a clear first choice and will be the banker on our bets tonight. He had a strong 2025 season with great development, and ended with a solid second place in the Breeders' Crown. His debut of the year was calm and did not make a big impression, but he had strength left over the finish, which indicates that his form is on the rise. With that race in his body, a marked improvement is expected here. The starting line is optimal, and over a short distance everything is in place for him to be in the lead early. That is precisely where he has been at his best, and on a fast track he will be very difficult to pass once he is allowed to control the race. Everything points to an ideal course of the race, and with the expected rise in form he appears as a very strong candidate to win.

V85-3

3 horses stand out. My favorite in the race is 7 BW Sture , who appears to be one of the most in-form in the field with two straight wins and solid performances throughout the season. He is very fast from the start and there is little doubt that the tactic will again be to aim for the lead. Despite a long way out, he has shown that there is no big obstacle - the statistics from there are impressive. Last time he won easily from the front after being allowed to control the pace, and it is precisely at the front that he is at his best. If he gets to the front, there is a lot of room for him to quickly lead this race for a long time, and perhaps the whole way.

1 Månlykke AM is a horse of honour who still maintains a high level, even at 12 years old. He has galloped in his last two starts, but especially the last one there was a lot of positive to take away – after the gallop he was driven offensively, caught up with the field and finished strongly in second place. That race should have given a clear boost in form. With that race in his body, a better distance this time and a nice starting track, the conditions are well suited for a solid performance. If he gets a race that flows better without mistakes, he should definitely be considered a winner in this match.

Also taking 5 Frivoll Gorm makes his debut this year, but is a horse with great capacity. He has shown both attitude and capacity that indicate that he can assert himself in the top class, and he is also useably fast from the start - which can give a good position early. At the same time, he faces a couple of strong and more race-hardened competitors, which can make it tough to win directly in the comeback. Nevertheless, his capacity is so high that he must be counted early, as he can basically win from several different race arrangements.

V85-4 

This seems somewhat open, and I put 4 Tiberius Victory first. He is making an exciting comeback and at the same time debut under new management. There are reports of optimism from the training team. In terms of capacity, he is well placed in the class. With relief in the balance this time, it could also have an extra effect. If he gets it right, he has shown that he can deliver at a high level and is someone we have great faith in in an open race.

11. Fangio appears to be a strong, but somewhat uncertain type in terms of form. He has had some track work up front, and the reports from there are positive, but there is still a small question mark about how far ahead he actually is. At the same time, the team indicates that they expect a good performance. The distance is clearly in his favor, as he has strength as his weapon. Track four should not present any problems, he is uncomplicated and easy to handle in the initial phase.

10 Pommac WF . is a slightly demanding but capable stayer type that is well suited over the long distance. 3140 meters is clearly in his favor, as his strength is in endurance rather than speed. Entered on the way up in terms of form. Running in the body also counts as a plus. WATCH OUT for this one today, even mother qualified opposition.

V85-5 

3 Jimmy Adore looks like a very interesting tipper tonight. He had a lot of energy saved up last time after a passive setup, and that race is better than it looks on paper. The fact that he was also treated before that start, and is now reported to be in very good shape, suggests that he could be further improved. Off his shoes for the first time this year here, which often gives an extra gear. Fredrik Plassen up tonight is also very interesting.

6 Prop Line W. comes with documented form after a solid performance last time, and the impression is that he is on the rise. The trainer was very pleased with the effort, which is often a good sign towards the next start. Comes out barefoot here. Can be a bit tricky in the initial phase, but if he goes well he could get a little caramel here.

V85-6 

6 Masters DunderBeda appears as a clear first choice and a banker in this match. She has really improved after the transfer to Robert Bergh, and the development has been clear with two straight wins. She last delivered her best race to date, where she controlled everything from the lead and had plenty of strength left over the finish. The time she ran then confirms her level, and even though she has had a short break afterwards, she is reported to be well prepared for this task. The starting track is ideal with a jumping track, and both the horse and the driver have shown that they can utilize this effectively. Everything is in place for her to be in the lead early on. The opposition does not look daunting either, and in a pure jump race without obvious pressure along the way, this could quickly become a race where she gets to control the pace. If she gets to lead on her own terms, she will be very difficult to beat. All in all, this looks like a very good chance of winning – And will be a banker on our bets.

V85-7 

Another favorite, and an alternative banker. 15 La Yuca is a class horse in this field and is natural to consider as a strong banker, even from the extras. She belonged to the top of the year last year and asserted herself not only against mares, but also in tough competition against stallions and geldings. Performances such as in the Derby and international major races emphasize her capacity. The end of the season was very solid – including a superior victory in the Breeders Crown from death. This testifies to a horse with both strength and class far above average. Here she meets far more suitable opposition, even with double the extras, and many to round, the difference in level is so great that she should initially have a very good chance of victory.

V85-8 

2 Jay Jay Zet appears to be a clear winner here. Here he can get his optimal race setup. He finished last year strongly with a win from the lead, and that is precisely where he has been at his best – all wins have come from the lead. He is very fast out, and from a perfect starting position everything is in place for Örjan Kihlström to drive to the lead early. The stable reports are positive despite a break of around four months, and the impression is that he is well prepared for his debut of the year. With the right race course – which in practice means the lead – he will be very difficult to beat. This looks like a race where he can control the pace and lead the whole way.

9 Bollinger NO is a capable type who has improved significantly since the transfer to Bjørn Goop, as his results clearly show. With several podium finishes and wins under new management, he is a horse who has found the best of things in Sweden. He is making his debut of the year here after a break, and it is natural to assume that he may need the race before his top form is fully established. At the same time, good training conditions are reported, and he seems well prepared to deliver a solid performance already here.

Our games and tips:

Happy Easter and good luck.
