V85-1 – Two clear A horses.

2 Mr Carnation is a solid and powerful horse who has really found top form this year, with three wins in four starts – all in a row before this race. In his last start he took an easy win in V85 three weeks ago at Axevalla, despite a demanding journey. He started from a tough starting point and remained a bit behind the field, before after 800 meters he was driven forward on the outside of the leader. On a somewhat heavy track he was still clearly the best in the end and won comfortably after a strong performance. He behaved well in that race, and there is nothing to say about the capacity of this gelding. Afterwards, the stable reports that he feels even better in training. This time he also has a better starting point, which should give a more favorable race development. In addition, he is being lightened in balance to get even better drive in his stride. The task seen as a whole seems very suitable, and he appears ready for another very strong performance. A clear starting horse for us.

6 Zehir showed good capacity last year. Moved to the talented Maria Törnqvist now. He looked good in his comeback, which was also the first outing for a new trainer, and the impression was clearly positive. With that race in his body, he should have improved significantly in terms of form. The gelding showed very good speed resources for the class last year, and the stable is now reporting adjustments with barefoot balance behind and Finntack carriage, which may have further effect. Dwight Pieters is expected to drive offensively forward in the hope of taking the lead early from the inside competitors. If that plan succeeds, a lot has been done - from the lead he has won 2 of 3 starts and stands a good chance of victory. At the same time, the four-year-old is strong and versatile enough to be able to win in several ways, and a solid performance seems imminent. However, we stand by our first choice, with Zehir as an equally clear second choice. On the smallest bets, we lock in these two.

V85-2 – Duel?

Here we run a lock on all games.  

8 Ideal Stone is a solid trotter from the Untersteiner stable. The six-year-old has three straight wins and has been very good recently. After a six-month break from competition, he has had three races under his belt this year – and all of them have ended in victory. The last two have come at V85, where the most recent win came at Halmstad two weeks ago. There he won from the lead in a slightly superior manner, and it looked like he had strength left over the finish. The starting position this time is admittedly not the best, but the impression of form is very strong. He is also quick when betting, and there is much to suggest that driver and trainer Johan Untersteiner will ride offensively from the start. If he manages to get to the lead after a while, Ideal Stone will be the horse to beat this time too.

2 Global Embargo is a solid type who can do a lot when everything works optimally, and he has started the year positively with one win and one second place in three starts. He took the win in his last start at Bollnäs just under two weeks ago, where he was driven to the lead after a bit and from there won in superior style – the impression was very good. He gave a very racing and delicious impression in that race, and jogged away to victory with a strong 1.09.9 last 700 meters. Initially he is more strong than fast, but has gradually developed better speed and now appears to be both fit and more versatile. It is a clear plus that he will again go barefoot around, and with a perfect starting track he should get ahead early. He also opened well behind the car last time. In addition, he thrives well over the longer distance, and with the conditions that are in place here, he is considered to have a very good chance of winning – and should be considered early this time too.

V85-3 – Revenge today?

9 Harpy is a highly capable type who can do a lot when he performs at his best. Last year he made 13 starts and took five podiums, one of which was a win. This year he has had one race in his body, and that came as late as last Saturday at Bjerke. There he had a tough run-through over a long distance, where he went in the death for most of the race – over just over three laps – and kept the speed clearly positive all the way to a third place. He fought bravely in the comeback after the tough journey, and that race should have lifted his form considerably. With closer starts now, his form has probably improved further, and there are also positive reports from the stable. Robert Bergh will probably ride offensively as usual and has good faith in the task. Backtracking this time means that it is not an easy task, and he is dependent on a flap along the way, but we are confident of victory with the right race.

V85-4 – Is it the gold of the round?

Very open and here we cover well. We also go hard and tip a horse that will probably be played very little, but 15 You To Ezme sprinted nicely to a second place last time, behind My Creation, a horse from a completely different class, which says a lot about how strong the performance actually was in that context. The seven-year-old mare is really on her way to top form after a couple of races in her body. Is registered without shoes today, which makes us even more geared. If we add that Rikard N Skoglund has a jumping track, then we “just have to” warn.

1 Bopperstreetgirl is a good mare who took five podiums in twelve starts last year, two of which ended in victory. Here she makes an interesting debut of the year, and it is also the first start under new trainer Adrian Kolgjini, who seems pleased with the start of the round. The signals indicate that a pretty good performance is expected already here.

V85-5 – Will the success continue?

5 OM Kerlone comes into the race with five straight wins, which is of course impressive. It hasn't always worked flawlessly in the past, but since last summer he has really found his form and has been stringing together wins. The last one came as late as last Friday at Örebro, where he had a nice run in second on the outside against slightly easier opposition. When he went into the third lane 700 meters from the finish, he quickly came up on the outside of the leader and easily won after a strong finish. Now the opposition is getting considerably tougher, and further development is required to extend his winning streak. Trainer Sara Olsson is aware of this, and exciting changes are being reported – including an American carriage for the first time, which could give an extra effect. A full-length bridle could also be considered, which could make him quicker from the start. He has got a good starting point, and with closer starts now, which often lifts his form even further, he should be even better at this task. Together with an offensive-minded driver in Ole Johan Østre, he is likely to have a good position early in the race. Even though the opposition is tough, he seems to refuse to lose, and OM Kerlone should therefore be considered early this time as well.

V85-6 – The start decides?

1 Nikki Lane is a highly capable mare who has made four starts this year, with somewhat varying performances, although she has taken one win and two second places. The win came in her last start at Kalmar a month ago, where she faced easier opposition. Then she started with 20 meters extra, but gradually came out on the outside of the leader and decided safely in the end. The stable was still not entirely happy with her that day, as she did not function optimally in the last turn and was also close to galloping shortly after the start. Afterwards she has been treated, and according to trainer Roger Malmqvist this has had a good effect – she has felt very nice since. Although she has not been ridden very hard between starts, her pulse has been good, and her form should be intact. She has been given a good starting track and is fast, so the plan is to try to hold the lead, although there is no guarantee. Alternatively, back on the leader could also be a good race plan. Short distances may not be her favorite, but she also handles 1640 meters well.

V85-7 – Winning the race?

4 My Precious One is a fine mare who has taken three wins and two second places in her nine starts so far in her career. Four of the starts have come this year, with one win as her best result. She took that in her penultimate start at Solvalla, where she did all the work outside the leader over a short distance and easily won in the end after a strong performance. However, last time she galloped away from a good position on the run-up at V85, despite being heavily relied on. This time she has a better starting point, which should give her a good position early in the race. The rider Magnus Djuse will probably be offensive and try to drive herself to the lead, which appears to be a likely scenario. If she gets to the lead, which we have great faith in, then we are really confident that she will hold on the whole way. We are betting banks at just over 40% marked!!

V85-8 – Early close and end?

We end the round with another banker. 6 Nasha is a nimble and light-footed mare who, after a long break, has now had two races under her belt, and her form is clearly improving. In her last start at Jägersro a week and a half ago, she took her first win of the year, when she won easily from the lead. She has good prospects here again, with the possibility of fighting for the lead over a short distance. Although the starting slot this time is somewhat less ideal, the most important thing is that she has been given a slot in the front row, because she is very fast when betting. Tyler Mifsud will probably be offensive from the start in the hunt for the lead, and if he succeeds without using too much effort, Nasha can stay in the front for a long time. At the same time, she is at least as effective at speed as in the lead, which provides more tactical opportunities. She can either lead the whole way, or possibly drop and exploit the winning gap with Open Stretch at the end. With the form she is showing now, a banker bet is very motivated. Is marked as a 2nd choice of well over 30% on Thursday evening. So will be our second banker this V85 round.
