Expert tips for Skellefteå, Thursday 10/8/2026
Race 1 - Skellefteå
6 Pearl Hazelaar is a 4-year-old from the Netherland. He has made two starts for Hanna Olofsson and been superior in both. Is far too good for this class. Top chance.
2 Born Duke Boko has won two races so far and started quite well. Gave up at the end in the V85 as recently as Saturday. Easier opposition now apart from the favorite.
8 Crazy Janey has won three of nine races this year. Tough number but driven this time by Ulf Ohlsson. Contender behind the mega favorite.
3 Miss Superstar has not won yet but did well in the last race and she is also possible if the favorite would fail. American bike now.

Race 2 - Skellefteå
7 Real News has shown good form recently and comes from a nice third place. He races barefoot for the first time now and that is interesting.
8 Nightwish River was more heavily backed than our pick last time and finished fourth, just behind him. Tougher number too but American bike and barefoot behind now. Contender.
4 Global Excellence is our favorite for the lead and has finished second from the front at the end. Has to be considered if he is allowed to dictate the pace. Jenny Engfors now.
6 Face to Face won half of ten races last year and earned the most money. Has not won yet this season but is possible behind our top duo.

Race 3 - Skellefteå
14 Mira Kiro has clearly earned the most money this year and should have a good chance despite this 80 meter handicap. Took three wins in a row this year and finished strongly to another victory in the last race.
10 Tangen Tore gave up from the outside of the leader in the last race but had shown good form before that. A bit tricky number and is driven this time by Jenny Engfors. One of several challengers to the favorite.
3 Mälarstens Sagari has taken three wins this year. Raced in the V85 last Saturday but got a tough trip then and gave up. Could reach the front after a while. In the mix if the horse is allowed to dictate the pace.
15 Ivarsviking has earned the most money and been quite consistent and good. He should also be considered behind the favorite together with Stefan Edin.

Race 4 - Skellefteå
2 Merillion won easily from the lead in V85 as recently as Saturday. Earned a whopping 200,000 kronor and is therefore in the money here. Wants to get to the front again and has a good chance from there. Sandra Eriksson.
11 Carl Palema made his debut in northern Sverige in the last race for new trainer Thule Jonsson. Won easily and looked nice. Ridden again by Stefan Edin and is should be considered early.
13 Arpi Broline was superior in a lunch race at Umåker last time. Took the lead then but has an handicap now. Interesting lane and can get a good position straight away.
6 Grace Kelly had a blast in a big race at this track in July. Has a run-on lane and with the right trip she can surprise again.
