Expert tips for Halmstad, Saturday 7/5/2025
Race 1 - Halmstad
8 Fontasia Schermer has really impressed and scored six wins in eight starts in the Netherlands. Engwerda's four-year-old trotter should have a very good chance.
7 Global Girlpower is still undefeated and comes from a nice win in the lead .
1 Who's Malvina is coming more and more and now they are testing barefoot which is interesting.
4 Rhiannon started the career brilliantly with two wins in a row. Got locked in last time after two poor performances.

Race 2 - Halmstad
7 Cabello has really impressed with three wins in a row. Has earned far too little money for his ability and should be the clear favourite in this race. American bike now is a plus and the horse can open quite fast.
4 Bourbon Hill is a really nice horse who started well but got a tough trip from first over last time.
2 Forest Wood is not reliable but has good speed.
6 Dencos T.D. has two straight wins in somewhat easier companies. Exciting changes now.

Race 3 - Halmstad
4 Nilla Lane galloped last time when she was looking for an eighth consecutive win. Quick starter and should have a good chance to win again here. She will face stallions and geldings though which is tough.
5 Luciano Lobell has four wins in a row. This is a really strong horse who will not be easy to beat.
1 Daniel Hazelaar does well most of the time. Certainly gets a nice trip.
8 Opening Night has a run under his belt but this number is poor.

9 Xanthis J.R. has galloped a lot lately, but last time he avoided a mistake and finished third in a Class III race. He is capable for this class and should have a good chance to fight for victory.
7 Magic Schermer is matched in quite good companies. Has not been successful lately but is an early choice here. Stefan Persson is a plus.
3 Giovanni is in good shape and has to be considered too.
6 Jist On Light Boy won in the debut for Peter Arnqvist.

Race 5 - Halmstad
11 Kumla Fromentro has four wins in a row. She showed in the last race that she stands the long distance and has to be considered very early.
6 Global Futurity has started his career well with four wins in seven starts. Barefoot for the first time and that could give a nice effect.
10 Format Kronos did well from outside the leader in the last race over this current distance and is really good for this class.
12 Lots Of Fun Sisu is doing really well. Tricky position though.

Race 6 - Halmstad
3 Hugo Boss Shadow has put in several good efforts from bad starting positions and in the last race he set a nice new record. Good starting number now and can finish fast. Our winner.
6 Tuppen is a very quick starter. He has won five out of six races in the lead. Over the short distance he should be considered early.
1 Global Enjoy has opened quickly from this lane one behind the gate several times before. The lead or the pocket.
9 Selective Calling is an outsider.

Race 7 - Halmstad
5 Dancer Brodde finished second in the last Sweden Cup. Good chance from the front but early contender regardless of journey.
6 Devilish Hill is perhaps the best horse in terms of capacity, but he could get a tough journey from this position.
2 Holcombe Zet galloped in the last race but had to open quickly. Has a run under his belt and is early favorite for the lead. Good chance over the short distance.
1 Oscar L.A. has good capacity but this inner lane could be a bit tricky.

Race 8 - Halmstad
12 Fashion Monger has improved a lot in three races for the new trainer and last time he was improved a lot without shoes. Dwight Pieters is overqualified for this race. Good chance despite this tricky position.
6 Zigzag Zagazoo has really found top form. Has a chance to reach the front and should be considered early together with experienced Oskar Florhed.
2 Attitude Superb looked nice in the last race and has a run under his belt now.
7 Patriot Zon has high capacity.

Race 9 - Halmstad
7 Dark Photon Face is a 4-year-old who is still developing well. Can do it tough and should be considered early even from outside the leader.
10 Eminent Kronos has always shown a lot of promise. He is still in a fairly low class and should be followed.
2 Nasdaq Newport won easily from the lead in the last race. Has got a perfect starting position and as he is also quick from the start. Early choice.
1 Ivan Mauger is well drawn and possible too here.

Race 10 - Halmstad
5 Laredo Boko doesn't have the best track record, but his last race showed more promise and from a suitable starting position he could be the front runner. In that case the horse should have a good chance of winning.
7 Jikken never got a real chance in the last race and had energy left. Should be considered early here.
9 Maserati Hall should have a good chance but needs some racing luck. Top form.
2 Call Me Gleipner is ideally drawn and in good form.

Race 11 - Halmstad
4 Staro Raili is making his seasonal debut but is very capable. She can open fast and could reach the front and once there she can lead this all the way. Our pick.
3 Darlington Fame has met tough mares lately. In the fight for victory here.
8 Eloida seems to have found fine form like the whole Gocciadoro stable. Tricky lane but with the right trip she could finish to victory.
9 Marabou Brodda has been in top form for a long time.

Race 12 - Halmstad
7 Ove Schermer is undefeated without a mistake. He won by a huge margin in the last race and even though the opposition is tougher now he is an early contender here.
4 Frank Silvio is a nice trotter who has started promisingly for Thomas Uhrberg. Hasn't started in 2.5 months but has to be considered early even though he may need this run under his belt.
1 Bottega Hanover has impressed in all starts. Has been a scratch before this one but is ideally drawn.
6 Pure Chapter returned after a two-year absence last time. Well-bred.

Race 13 - Halmstad
6 Sunshine Avenue has impressed under the saddle, but now comes with three straight gallops. Is ridden by the experienced and talented Tova Bengtsson and the eight-year-old mare is our pick here.
2 Dancing Days was a nice second in the only start under the saddle. Jonathan Carre now is of course exciting.
7 Notorious Zon scored a good win in the last race.
1 Fabror Melker will be in the mix if he pleases to avoid a mistake.
