Tonight's co-op HERE

V86-1

4 Explosive Axe ended up unlucky through the last turn in his previous race and finished with his strength intact after a crucial wrong choice. Nevertheless, he then faced the experienced duo Don't Say Gar and Thai M.Square, who would normally be big favorites in a race like this, so the six-year-old clearly drops in class this time. He has made five starts for Kristian Malmin and won two of them – from the lead second last and after running back three starts ago. Short distance suits him well, and he appears to be a clear candidate for the lead. Kristian Malmin seems eager for revenge and is in advance. It will be shoeless this time, which indicates that it will be actively raced with a strong horse. If he gets to the lead, he will be very difficult to beat, but he has also shown that he can win from other positions. All in all, a horse that can win regardless of the race setup – provided that the balance works optimally. We play banks on the flat tips.

Continuous results

V86-2

3 Meditate was in good form in her debut of the year recently behind a strong trio of mares and gave a very positive impression over the finish, including a 1.13 time. She was a bit nervous from the start that time, and therefore she was not driven offensively from the beginning, but this time there is a chance for a more active opening. Stefan P. Pettersson's stable is clearly on the way back to form, and this could be another sign that things are back on track after a weak last year. The task looks appropriate, and it will be particularly interesting with her first time in an American carriage, while she is wearing shoes and an open bridle like last time. There is a signal of a focus on the lead, and with a more offensive race plan this time she appears as a hot candidate for an advanced position. She is also considered a stronger card than the stable's other participant in the race.

V86-3

6 Schufaks is coming off a nice sprint win and made a strong impression against better opposition last time. The form seems good, and with Dalen in the sulky a lot is in place. At the same time he depends on the course of the race, with backs and help along the way, and he is not entirely reliable. Short distance is now an advantage, but it can be difficult to get to from the start. I get the tip, but here you need to be careful.

V86-4

7 La Yuca had to work a bit for the win in her debut of the year, but still decided in a very classy way when Kihlström asked her to decide. She is a top mare who meets very suitable opposition here. With race in her body and optimal balance/equipment she is the clear favorite to win here. She is also reported to be top after the last race. Should win regardless of position. Will be our main banker this round.

V86-5

Evenly between 5 and 7 here, but I landed on 5 Brostile R. who is a big and powerful four-year-old in development with clear capacity for the class. He won last time without impressing, but showed better pace the time before.
So far he doesn't seem like the type who enjoys doing the rough work himself. Tracks in the middle of the track are good, and a high pace along the way will be an advantage. With speed in the race he is a clear candidate for victory.

V86-6

5 Nickel Occagnes took big steps in his development after the transfer to Robert Bergh last year and delivered several strong performances for the class. The top level he showed then also continues up in the classes.
Debut of the year now, but the signals from the stable are positive, and it can be driven offensively against the lead.
From the front he will have a clear advantage, but there is some uncertainty related to form and stability.
Strong candidate for victory, but should be guarded.

V86-7

3 Chantecler won easily in the last race and showed good form, even on a demanding track. He has two races under his belt now and should be further improved. Long distance suits him well and he can handle a lot of work himself. Early and solid winner. Ranked narrowly ahead of 2 Last Story.

V86-8

4 Stepping Gogo Girl had a solid race in tough company last time and is doing well here, both in terms of money and track.
She is fast from the start and should be able to get a good position straight away. The last impression was very positive, and even though she faces several strong competitors this time too, I actually think she can handle this race. American carriage and shoeless don't make her chances any worse. Will be my winner at good odds in the final.
