Expert tips for Åby, Saturday 5/3/2025
Race 1 - Åby
4 Briskeby Pilen finished second behind Aske Balder last time, but then they were in the same circle. With a 20 meter lead this time it could very well be the reverse order here.
8 Aske Balder impresses every time and wins often, although not always by such a large margin. Quite tough conditions here, but has the right attitude and is an early contender.
9 Jerven Junior never got a real chance in the last race but showed good form.
11 Ask Viktor was not at his best in the last race and acted a bit slow. Owns good strength.

4 Falstaff Font has met Killer Rain in the Netherlands and done really well. Very promising horse in the Michel F Rothengatter stable and should have an excellent chance here.
9 Killer Rain may have been beaten by Falstaff Font in the Netherlands, but showed nice pace when he won in his Swedish debut.
10 Speed Change is capable and has two straight wins for Gocciadoro.
8 Incitanus Sotto is a winning machine and he is making his second start for Lövgren here.

Race 3 - Åby
2 Just Like Heaven has been the king of his year in Norway, although the stable companion Charron has challenged in a couple of races. Impressed a lot as second behind Epic Kronos in a heat to the European Derby in September last year and the Gundersen family usually have their horses well prepared.
5 Charron has developed a lot as a 4-year-old. Galloped in the seasonal debut last time, but looked nice afterwards.
9 Global Etalon has been really nice in the last two starts.
7 Eolo Jet is strong and tough.

Race 4 - Åby
6 Iceland Falls looked nice in the last race a bit behind the leader. Faces very nice conditions here with his mare advantage and with a run under his belt and should be in good form. Carl Johan Jepson has not won with this horse after four attempts, but they have done well together.
10 Bosha Diablo was strong in the last race even though he lost the trot at the end. Early choice.
12 Chimi is poorly drawn, but his latest performance was splendid. Top form.
1 Humanity Pellini is a quick starter.

Race 5 - Åby
2 Vivillion impressed last year when she won the Swedish Oaks. Won her heat in easy style and although it is tougher now, she has a good chance of taking the lead. Once in that position she is the horse to beat.
3 S.G. Empress is the main challenger as she has shown high capacity and the right attitude.
4 Matchmadeinheaven is on the way up. Gets a nice trip from behind and barefoot this time makes her interesting.
1 Scarfo Pellini has good speed and can reach the pocket here.

11 Maharina Sun has very good capacity but was not at her best last Saturday. The chances are a bit hard to predict but she could take revenge directly here.
1 Lainy KW tried to make it to the final of Drottningpokalen last time. Faces good conditions here and is the favorite to reach the lead. Once there she will not be easy to beat.
8 Yantra Slave Cal followed well in the last race. Good for this class.
7 Victoria L.L. has shown good form lately.

Race 7 - Åby
2 Big Ben Pellini is developing well. Kept up the pace strongly as third behind top horses in the last race. Could reach the front and once there he will not be easy to defeat.
11 Ideal Stone is really capable and now runs barefoot which feels very exciting. Has the right attitude and fights for victory but needs some racing luck.
1 Ivan Mauger has been really nice as he has been using new equipment lately.
4 Lifelong Journey was very nice two starts back.

Race 8 - Åby
7 Jeriko Brick looked really strong in the seasonal debut and fought well over the home stretch. With that run under his belt his form should be even better and from the front he is the horse to beat.
3 Indy Boy will compete with a closed bridle again. Has shown good speed before, including as one of the twelve competitors in the Danish Trotting Derby last year.
4 Ace Wibb has two runs under his belt. Is capable.
11 Express Cash has both the speed and the strength to decide the race on his own. Is not reliable.

Race 9 - Åby
4 Free Time Jepson is a new potential star from the Gocciadoro stable. He is not a very quick starter, but will be driven offensively. Our winner.
1 Izod Zet is guaranteed a good position from here. Will be tested with some new equipment which is interesting. Early challenger if the favorite is not at his best.
10 Far Wise As made his seasonal debut last time and got a nice trip. Uses to sprint really fast.
2 Lando Mearas has been really nice so far this year. Gets a nice journey from here.

3 East Asia has done very well so far. Met horses like Hooker Berry, Etonnant and Go On Boy last time. Is a quick starter and should have a lot of respect. Will be very hard to beat from the front.
12 Daim Brodda looked brilliant in the seasonal debut. Now she will compete barefoot and she is very fast from behind.
4 Ester Degli Dei finished strongly in the seasonal debut and is probably going to have another nice season.
5 Nortolanda was not at her best last time but has very good capacity.

Race 11 - Åby
1 Borups Victory won easily from the outside of the leader in the last race and the effort was clearly positive even though the opposition was relatively weak. May find it hard to hold the lead but will be in the fight for victory regardless.
2 Önas Prince won this race last year and Per Nordström is very pleased. The horse is really good from the front. Contender.
4 San Moteur is good enough to win this regardless of journey.
3 Kentucky River has shown top form in recent starts.

2 Corps Et Ame is 13 years old now, but he performed at an absolute top level last year and he could be good enough this season as well.
7 First One Diamond has improved a lot under the saddle, but now he faces his toughest task ever.
3 Hopium is hard to predict. Has nice results from France, even though it was a while ago. Ridden by Mottier now!
9 Djeson d'Ariane is also hard to predict but he loves this discipline.
