V85 Tingsryd May 16

V85 Tingsryd May 16th is one of the most special trotting days of the spring. The mile course – the only one in Northern Europe – offers high speed, gentle turns and often unusual race development. Many jockeys are unfamiliar with the course, which makes the round extra unpredictable and interesting in terms of gameplay.

V85-1 

2 Chribo Hill finished last season in impressive fashion with five straight wins, crowned by a completely superior triumph in the Class III final from the lead. The victory came in a strong 1:13.2a over 2140 meters in the middle of winter, and the impression was very convincing.  

Now the talented four-year-old is making his yearling debut after a break of almost five months, which naturally makes his form a bit difficult to assess. At the same time, Conrad Lugauer been skilled at having his horses well prepared directly after the break, and the reports surrounding Chribo Hill are interesting. 

The starting point is also perfect, and much is in place for an early lead – a position from which he is very effective. At the same time, he is not dependent on being in the lead to win, as his capacity seems considerable. What creates a little uncertainty is that he is both making his debut this year and facing tougher company in this class. Nevertheless, the talent is so great that Chribo Hill may very well be good enough to continue his winning streak against this opposition as well.

V85-2 

7 Raphael recently delivered a very strong performance for the class, and it seems that the combination of barefoot balance and the great stable form of Fredrik Wallin has really made the gelding flourish. The horse has risen several notches after the balance change, and the impression recently has been clearly positive. This time he will also have Carl Johan Jepson in the carriage again, a driver who has been in great form recently and continues to deliver at the highest level. The distance is also considered suitable for Raphael. 

The challenge lies primarily in finding a good position without using too much effort early on, but if that is resolved along the way, he has the capacity to fight right at the top. With horse, trainer and driver all in strong form, Raphael to be a very interesting contender. 

V85-3 

10 Rendezvous Zon has shown brilliant form in his last few starts. He won confidently in his comeback at Mantorp and followed that up with a very strong third place in the long distance at Orebro, where he almost sprinted down A Fair Day in the battle for second place behind the strong Speed ​​Change. 

The five-year-old appears to be both strong and versatile, and both the distance and the long run suit him very well. Although the backtrack makes the task a little more demanding, he seems tough enough to withstand different race arrangements. 

Robert Bergh may also choose an offensive tactic along the way, especially if his stablemate #4 were to take the lead early. Then it is not inconceivable that Rendezvous Zon will be driven forward to take over along the way. Regardless of the race development, he appears to be a very strong candidate for victory, with the form he is currently showing. 

V85-4 

12 Meghan BR. was among the very best fillies of her litter in Norway as a young horse and won both the Criterion for fillies as a three-year-old and the Derby for fillies as a four-year-old. She possesses a very high top level when she is functioning optimally, and also showed solid pace last year with four wins in nine starts. 

Towards this season she has made a very exciting transition to Daniel Redén, but her debut for the new trainer at Örebro at the end of April unfortunately ended in a gallop shortly after the start. Afterwards she was still driven through the race, and the reports from the stable afterwards have been very positive. She has had several good car starts in training at Solvalla and seems to have settled well in her new environment. 

Backtracking over a short distance is of course no advantage, but at the same time it can contribute to a calmer and error-free approach from the start. Her capacity is anyway so high that she can withstand a lot along the way. If Örjan Kihlström gives her a fairly suitable race, a very strong finish over the long run is expected. 

Meghan BR. is also well placed in the race despite the difficult starting point, and with normal flap along the way, the chance of victory is considered very good. She appears as a strong banker proposal for V85 Tingsryd today. 

V85-5

8 Unicum will start with a useful run in his body and will be extra interesting this time when he goes shoeless for the first time in his career. It is an exciting change that could have a significant effect, especially considering that Maria Törnqvist is known for timing such adjustments very well. 

The starting point is not optimal, but the wide first turn offers good opportunities to find a usable position early in the race. With better form after the last through-runner and a potentially very positive change in balance, Unicum could be an interesting outsider with the capacity to surprise. 

V85-6

4 Jackpot Mearas is a real winning machine who has made rapid progress through the classes, yet still looks to have more to go. He showed a fantastic attitude last time out when he fought his way to victory despite several challenges along the way – a performance that really highlighted both strength and will to win.

The seven-year-old combines speed with solid strength and is therefore not dependent on a specific race plan to assert himself. Dwight Pieters will probably make an offensive attempt to win the opening match, but even if the lead were to slip, Jackpot Mearas has the capacity to fight for victory from other positions as well. The long run at Tingsryd also suits him very well, and with normal daily form he will be difficult to resist in the end. Everything indicates that he may soon be ready for even higher class, and here he once again appears as one of the clear favorites.

V85-7

4 Jobspost is already ready for this year's Elitloppet and comes here with three straight victories at Vincennes under his belt. Although he is still somewhat untested against the very top elite, he has delivered performances of absolutely enormous class on several occasions and appears to be a very exciting contender for the big race later in May. 

While some Elitlopp horses are given a calmer schedule in the last start before the main finish, the plan here seems to be the opposite. The signals indicate that Jörgen Westholm wants to give the seven-year-old a proper run, and that it will be run offensively with victory as the goal. 

Jobspost can handle tough work and has the strength to decide even from an outside position. With Björn Goop in the car, there can also be extra speed in the finish if the star is in the right mood. If he delivers at his best level, he is certainly good enough to fight off even the strongest competitors in the field. 

V85-8 

3 I'm Still Standing is a winning and very reliable mare who is rarely off the podium when she sticks to the trot. She has started sparingly throughout her career and still seems to have development potential, something Johan Untersteiner hopes to get even more out of this season. The year has started well with two wins in three starts, and both triumphs came early in the season before she had a short break. In her comeback at Jägersro a month ago she looked nice in secret before she suddenly stumbled into a canter in the middle of the run. Nevertheless, she got a useful run-through, and the impression afterwards has been positive. 

This task looks far more suitable, especially with the short distance and a good starting position that should give her a nice journey along the way – perhaps even a chance for the lead. She is fast and should secure a good position early on anyway. If she just keeps the right pace this time, I'm Still Standing be considered very early and emerges as one of the clear favorites in the race.
