Expert tips for Halmstad, Wednesday 4/23/2025
Race 1 - Halmstad
4 Bourbon Hill is very well-bred. Despite this lane and a gallop in the qualifier, the horse should be considered early in this race.
9 Mister Smartface has not made his debut yet even though he was supposed to start on three occasions. The stable is pleased with him.
6 Have A Drink On Me was heavily backed in his debut but galloped after half a lap. Nice horse.
10 Lion was second in the debut.

Race 2 - Halmstad
10 Cheerful has been heavily backed so far, but not really lived up to that. Seems to have good capacity though and Rick Ebbinge has found a nice task here. Our pick.
3 Frank Silvio did well in the debut, finishing second behind a superior winner. Seems to have improved by that run under his belt.
7 Bottega Hanover was very good in both the qualifier and the debut.
4 Ejnar Face is hard to predict.

Race 3 - Halmstad
11 Green Crowe has done everything right in two starts. Looks splendid and despite tougher opposition and a poor lane, he could score a third win in a row here.
9 Viking Salt galloped in the last race but had performed well before that. American bike now which is always interesting.
2 Shadow Moon was good from outside the leader last time.
12 Milk And Honey Frö is possible in case of over-pace.

Race 4 - Halmstad
11 Nordetia never got a real chance last time. Tricky number here but he has more starting points than those with a lane directly behind the gate.
12 Bonus Credit never got a chance last time. Showed good form a bit behind the leader. Early contender with the right trip.
10 Mayhem Mary used to gallop a lot but seems to have become more reliable. Early choice.
9 Global Deep Impact is consistent and good.

Race 5 - Halmstad
4 Mix The Booze has two runs under his belt after a layoff and done well. Is still developing and André Eklundh has found a nice task here. Normally a quick starter.
6 Magic Schermer did really well in a top time and with a similar performance he will not be easy to reach.
5 Northstream Cash has been competing a lot in the V75 and is on the way up. Has to be considered.
11 Ingmar Banker has good capacity, but this number is tricky.

Race 7 - Halmstad
1 Miyagi has done really well lately and scored an impressive victory three races ago when he was heavily pressed but still managed to win. Barefoot is a big advantage.

Race 8 - Halmstad
1 Dart Kronos has started during the winter and done well. Has become more mature and reliable. Last time he got locked in with plenty of energy left over the finish. If he reaches the front here, he has a good chance to win.
2 Bikana Wine has looked nice lately. Has a good starting position. Should be considered.
6 Eccebombo Jet is hard to predict but has won in Italy and should not be overlooked.
10 Victoria L.L. is in great shape.

Race 9 - Halmstad
9 Dancer Brodde makes his seasonal debut. Was really good last year and Johan Untersteiner's star will be interesting to follow. Tricky lane but with the right journey he should have a good chance to win.
2 Emoji showed good form last time a bit behind the leader. Faces much better conditions now.
3 D.J.Spritz got locked in with a lot of energy left in the last race.
4 Husse Boko has been consistent and good.
