S.G.Empress made a break as one of the favorites in the Queen's Trophy, after Roger Walmann pulled her shoes.
Last time out, the winning machine returned to the winner's circle in a Margareta race as a consolation.
On Saturday, she has a perfect post position in the Ina Scots Ära – but trainer Walmann puts out a warning for her stablemate, Great Pride.
"There is no doubt that S.G.Empress is one of the four or five best younger horses I have ever trained. But I think the bettors should watch out for "Greta". If she holds up the lead, she will be raced there and she should be tough to beat," says the Solvalla trainer.
He delivered a fantastic effort in his seasonal debut when he outclassed his opponents and won by open lengths.
Pingis was, after that, one of the favorites in V75 at Jägersro – but the horse came up sick that day.
He is now fit to fight again, and his trainer, Carlos Söderström, has high hopes going into the long-distance race at his home track.
"He's one heck of a nice horse, and I think he has a chance to win the race," says the Åby trainer.
