V851 

12 Börtas Ankare looked very nice before the start of his last race, but completely lost his style during the race itself. It was a slightly worrying performance, as this is not something that usually happens with geldings anymore. At the same time, he is already being sent over the limit, and then we have to believe that the eight-year-old is ready for a much better performance this time. Here the strong stayer type has a suitable task ahead of him. The opposition seems manageable, and the three laps to be covered should also suit him well. Therefore, he gets the tip here, especially with the experienced Örjan Kihlström in the sulky.

1 Sven the Forestman is a fine racehorse who, after a slightly longer break from competition, has really started to get going again. In his three starts this year, he has taken two wins and a third place. Both wins have come in a row, and the last one he took at Gävletravet just under three weeks ago. Then he probably won from the lead against somewhat easier opposition after being allowed to set the pace himself, and he crossed the finish line with energy saved. Here he naturally faces tougher opposition when he starts in V85, but he is now walking around barefoot, which is a plus. From a good starting track, driver Ulf Ohlsson be able to place Sven the Forestman in the lead from the start, and from that position he will be difficult to beat.

13 Hobart had a good year last year with two wins and four third places in thirteen starts. This year he has achieved a second place and a third place in two starts. He took second place in mid-February when he travelled to Sweden and Åby, where he finished strongly behind a good winner that day. Here he starts over a long distance, which suits him well since he has good strength. If it works out a bit from the 40 meter addition together with driver Vemund Madsen Drolsum , Hobart should be considered early in this race.

V852 

5 Look Like Gaagaa is a Danish-born horse who had a very good debut season last year. In thirteen starts he was only off the podium once, eight of which ended in victory. He also came third in the Danish Trotting Criterium. Before this season he switched to his current trainer Kristian Malmin , for whom he is now making an exciting debut. The horse is reported to have trained well throughout the winter. This is a very good horse for the class he competes in, and now he will be barefoot all around, which is a plus. From a good starting track he can take the lead early on, and if he gets there, Look Like Gaagaa be very difficult to catch up with.

2 Garbino is a nice Italian who moved to Sweden and his current trainer Christoffer Eriksson before the winter. In five starts for his new trainer there have been four wins. He comes into this race with three straight wins, the last of which came in mid-February at Jägersro. There he was driven to the lead after 700 metres, and from there he held off after a close finish. The opposition will of course be tougher this time, and there will probably be no lead now. Nevertheless, he has a nice starting track that can give a good position along the way, and based on what Garbino be considered early in this race together with driver Örjan Kihlström

1 United Time Trot  (STROKET SATURDAY) has both strength and capacity for the class, but the inside track could be a trap here. The gelding has not previously shown the starting speed required to hold the lead from the start. If Frode Hamre gets stuck or has to go into second track early, it could be difficult to beat our tipster, but will definitely be on the lookout.

V853 

6 Beautiful Disaster is a very nice mare who started her career brilliantly in 2025. In seven starts she took six wins and a third place. This year she has one win in two starts. In her last race, however, there was a slight disappointment when she galloped from the start as the big favorite. Afterwards she was driven offensively, and the arrangement became too tough even though she took the lead after 900 meters. She still held on well to a fourth place in the end. The stable still believes that this is a very good mare that they are happy with. From a good start here, driver Per Oleg Midtfjeld be interested in driving herself to the lead, and from there Beautiful Disaster lead the race all the way.

12 La Liga Boy is a solid Danish-born horse who really got his career off to a flying start last year. In twelve starts he took four wins and a third place. In the autumn he moved to Sweden and his current trainer Christoffer Eriksson , where he has done well. It will be exciting to see him now after a winter of training in his body and how he has developed. His top form is probably not quite there yet, but he is good for the class. Jockey Örjan Kihlström can also be offensive if things go a little wrong at the start, and La Liga Boy should therefore be considered early in this matchup.

V854 

11 Ness Tjo Tyr is a tough guy with very high capacity who had an impressive development in 2025. In eighteen starts he took sixteen podiums, of which nine ended in victory. He has also started strongly this year with three wins in three starts. The last one came at Bergen Travpark three weeks ago, where he won easily from the lead and looked very good. Here he faces slightly tougher opposition, and from a back track the task may look a bit more demanding. At the same time, he also works well from behind and can handle doing a lot of the work himself. Therefore, driver Björn Steine be offensive along the way, and Ness Tjo Tyr must be seen with a top opportunity in the race, and we are going for banks this time.

V855 

3 Mago Launcher is a fast starter, and has started the year strongly with two wins in four starts. The last win came in his second-to-last start, in an STL final at Solvalla just over a month ago, where he won simply from the lead. Last time at Bergsåker three weeks ago, however, the six-year-old had a much too tough race outside the leader. According to the stable, he has been treated before this start, and they are happy with how he feels in training now. The conditions here, both in terms of distance and starting track, are very good. He feels best in the lead, and driver Ole Johan Østre will probably aim to get there early. If successful, Mago Launcher lead the race the whole way.

1 Mister Kabuki is also a fast horse who can do a lot when everything goes well. In five starts so far this year, he has finished second and two third. He comes from two straight starts at V85. The second most recent race he sprinted very well to third place against tough opposition at Åby in mid-February, while as recently as last Saturday at Halmstad he had a bit of a tough time despite an inside trip. Now, however, he has perfect conditions with an inside track behind the starting car and a short distance. With a nice run at the front of the field, Mister Kabuki , with a little luck along the way, can join the fight for victory.

6 Excalibur Gene was only sixth in his last start, but had a far from ideal task. The horse still finished with a strong sprint in the dark and still showed good form. Tracks in the front row here, which gives the opportunity to come forward early in a good position. There is hardly any talk of a lead, but Excalibur Gene a clear guard horse with his fine capacity.

V856 

1 Kiss My ID is a solid racehorse who always does his job in the races. In three starts this year he has taken one win and one second place. The win came in his debut of the year in mid-January, and last time at Åby he kept up the pace quite well after a race from behind at V85 in mid-February. His form still seems good. From a perfect starting track here, driver Örjan Kihlström probably aim to get to the lead, which there should be good opportunities for. If Kiss My ID delivers at his normal level, he should have a very good chance of winning this race.

3 Ninepoints King is a capable but also quite uncertain challenger to the tip horse. The gallop 150 meters from the finish in the recent comeback was a bit strange – it almost seemed as if the stallion was irritated when he came up on the back of the horse in front. Up until then the six-year-old looked strong, and he should be even better now with that race in his body. If he can handle the exciting combination with Björn Goop Ninepoints King can undoubtedly be in the fight for victory.

We are trying to get through this department on these two, something we have great faith in. 

V857 

6 Diva Ek is a fine Italian mare who only made six starts last year, but in these she took three wins and two second places in well-funded races. In total she earned over 3.7 million kroner. Now it is time for her debut of the year after a four-month break from racing, but according to the stable she is well prepared. Among other things, she has had a bit more tough track work, and a good performance is expected from the seven-year-old already here. The starting line is also good, and driver Örjan Kihlström will probably try to drive herself into the lead with Diva Ek . If she gets there, she is clearly the horse to beat in this race. We are stepping on the gas.

V858 

4 Olympia Schermer is a nice mare who is developing very well. In three starts this year, she has won three times. The last one came at Kalmartravet just under three weeks ago, where she was driven to the lead after half a lap. From there she had to slow down for a while before she was finally able to pull away to an easy win. Now the opposition is getting tougher, but the starting line is still good. The five-year-old has made a very good impression in this year's starts, and if driver Örjan Kihlström manages to drive herself to the lead eventually together with Olympia Schermer , they are the team to beat.

6 Direction Face is a solid mare who showed great talent early in her career with her former trainer Claes Sjöström , before switching to current trainer David Persson . For him she has taken three wins in five starts. She now comes from three straight starts at V85. Second last at Kalmartravet at the end of January she was very good when she won easily despite a race mostly outside the leader. Last time she got the same position, but then at a much too hard pace, and she was beaten already entering the last turn. She has now been treated before this start and has been trained really hard in advance. In addition, she will be barefoot all around, which is only the second time in her career she will start without shoes. The starting track is perfectly fine, and driver Emilia Leo can again be offensive. On her basis, Direction Face be considered early in this race.

2 Fontasia Schermer did get some help from classic stable driving in her last win, but was also completely superior over the finish without being pressured. The impression in the comeback was brilliant, and the five-year-old mare should be even sharper now with the race in her body. Here she also eases her balance. From a perfect starting track behind the starting car she is a natural cross. There is much to suggest that Fontasia Schermer can join in and fight for the win here.
