The track program

Here are our A-horses;

V85-1

6 Chantecler had a tough race in his comeback and wasn't quite at his best, but that race should have given him a boost in terms of form. He has a nice groove in the vault this time and is normally both strong and tough for his class. If he gets to the front here, he will be a clear factor in the race and should be counted early.

14 Let Me In is clearly the toughest and most hardened horse in the field, but is also heavily burdened with an additional 60 meters. This makes the task demanding, and a lot will depend on the course of the race and how many he has to round along the way. At the same time, strength is his greatest weapon, and with a fairly tidy race without too much trouble, he has good chances to be the strongest in the end. If he gets a setback along the way, he can be very difficult to resist.

V85-2 

7 Only Mattis delivered another strong race last time, where he ended up far behind along the way, but finished very well and gained a lot of ground the whole way. The form still seems solid, and there are reports of good training conditions leading up to this race, which has been a stated goal since his debut this year. The starting point is usable, and the signals indicate an offensive approach. At the same time, it is clear that he will have to deliver at his best to win. A possible plus is that he is considered shoeless at the back for the first time. An alternative knocks.

9 Kringelandisak was too lively last time out and ran away with his chance early on, but the impression is that he is approaching his peak form even though he is still missing a win this year. He is doing well at this time of year and his form is considered solid. If he gets a race with pace along the way, he has good chances of picking many in the end. He will have a shoeless balance and a normal carriage, which could give an extra effect.

10 Hauk Victor was not at his best at Färjestad and has been treated afterwards, but is now reported to be doing well in training. It is possible that he could have benefited from one more race in his body, but his form is still considered good. From this point on he becomes somewhat dependent on pace and race course, but his top level is high enough to assert himself.

V85-3 

In an open race we play banks !! 4 Tix comes in solid form and delivered a very good performance last time, and is reported to be very good afterwards. He thrives well on the track, something he has shown previously, and appears to be a strong candidate to win in an open race. He may not have the highest top level in the field, but in return he is far more stable in his performances than many of his competitors. That makes him a safe and relevant choice for me. Comes out with an American carriage and open bridle. So my conclusion is – 4 Tix or many, fully aware that it is only marked at 10% at the time of writing on Friday afternoon.

V85-4 

1 Kirsten Tinghøj has shown stable and good form over time, and especially her performances with barefoot balance have been very positive. The last two starts point in the right direction, and now the stage is set for full success. The task looks very suitable, with a nice starting point and Björn Goop in the sulky. She is expected to handle the vault start well, and the track profile should also be a good fit. With barefoot balance again and continued improvement in form, she appears to be a hot candidate to fight at the very top.

4 Sainz Zon is not entirely reliable, but has good capacity for the class. The form seems decent, although she galloped with energy saved last time without any clear explanation. She has been given a bit of a tight track in the vault and could be a bit stressed in the early stages, so a lot depends on her getting off to a good start. If she has a faultless race, she has the level to fight at the very top in this company.

12 LA's A Million didn't have her best day last time and should normally have tolerated the increase in pace better. At the same time, she had shown very good pace in the starts before that, so her form still seems good according to the reports from the stable. The task is still a bit demanding with the addition of Klosterskogen, which makes her more of an outsider. However, the opposition is not intimidating, and with a better race this time, there could easily be revenge.

V85-5 

2 Oh Mein Papa galloped as the big favorite last time, but that race can be largely explained away. He was spooked at the start and lost his rhythm, which is put down to bad luck. Normally he is a reliable trotter and has shown good form, with two convincing wins before that gallop. The starting point here is good, and he should get a good position early. There is nothing to complain about in his form according to the stable, and the impression in training is as normal. Equipment changes are also being considered to calm him down from the start, including drasky patches for the first time. With the right race and without mistakes, he should definitely be counted early in this field.

8 Onyx BR . is a capable horse who is making a comeback after a break, and there is naturally some uncertainty about his form. At the same time, good training conditions are reported throughout the winter, and he should be well prepared after, among other things, fine speed work. He has previously shown a high level, including as one of the trusted ones in the Norwegian Trotting Criterium, so there is little doubt about his capacity. The challenge here is the starting track, which is demanding over sprints at Klosterskogen. That makes the task more difficult, but in suitable company he should still not be written off.

V85-6 

6 Baias makes an exciting debut this year. Takes off his shoes and gets on the American bandwagon – a definite plus. He finished last season a bit anonymously, but has had a training period after that and is reported to have worked well ahead of this race. He is probably not at his peak form yet, but has previously shown that he can perform well after a break. The starting momentum could also be a plus, as he has opened up nicely behind the car previously. We have great faith in Baias today.

V85-7 

4 Charron is one of Norway's very best horses when he is at the top level, and was a participant in Elitloppet last year. Now he is making a comeback on home turf, and the signs indicate that he is well prepared for the task. After his stay in France, he has looked good in training, and a recent speed work gave very good answers. The starting line is good, but Klosterskogen can be a slightly special course where the course of the race has to be perfect. He faces good opposition, but he is hardened in tough teams and is not afraid of them. With shoeless balance and an American carriage, everything is set for a strong performance.

1 Betting Pacer is in solid form and appears to be both stable and versatile. She can open well and has a great starting point, while she also enjoys the track and won this race last year. Everything indicates that she will deliver another good performance. At the same time, the inside track at Klosterskogen is a challenge, and it can cost a lot to keep the lead. In any case, a solid winner.

V85-8 

4 Fawaz Mil made a very solid debut of the year where he was in good form from the start, and that race should have given a clear boost in form. He has taken the race well and appears to be further improved now. This is an all-round type with good capacity for the class, and he is also fast. With such a starting point, it is possible for an offensive tactic from Dwight Pieters, who will probably try to get to the front early. He thrives on sprints and has previously shown high speed, which makes the task even more interesting. With easier opposition than he is used to, this appears to be a very good chance of victory. Knocks on the flat bongs.

9 Maharasha is a strong and reliable mare who generally always delivers solid performances. She is making a comeback after a break, and it may be that she needs the race in her body, but the training reports are very positive. She has shown good form in work and seems ready to deliver a top performance straight away. In addition, she has a very sharp finish, which makes her dangerous with the right race course. With shoeless balance and an American carriage, the conditions are set for a strong effort. On pure capacity she should definitely hold her own in this company. So this is the main contender, and ready to take over if our alternative banker cannot handle the pressure.
