Horse Racing Trader’s Tips: Åby – Thursday 16th April

Our trader takes a look at the best of the action in Sweden

Racing action continues in Sweden on Thursday, with aneight-race card of trotting in Åby.

And our expert Mark Underhill has outlined who to look outfor.

Robert Bergh has been the driver to watch in the lastmeeting at Åby, having won four of his seven races. He trained all four of thewinners himself and since gaining his training licence in 1993 he’s sent outmore than 4,000 winners.

He drove 120 winners last year and he’s continued that forminto 2020 with 23 wins from his first 92 drives, boasting an impressive strikerate of 25%.

Bergh has six drives booked for Thursday and Indra’sSecret looks to be his best bet in the card’s most valuable race at 19:00.The six-year-old has won three of her last six outings, including at Bergsåkerearlier this month when driven by Bergh.

But Indra’s Secret will face still competition from 13-timewinner Encore Un Sisu. She’s enjoyed a win in each of her last fourstarts, including a shorter trip here at the start of the month. She teams upagain with Björn Goop, Sweden’s most successful ever driver with morethan 7,000 career wins.

Goop could also add to that tally with German-bred FromHeavenIdzard in the 19:44. The four-year-old makes his Swedish debut and islooking to build on successive wins in the Netherlands and Germany.

Robert Bergh drives: Foreign Rain (17:30), Indra’sSecret (19:00), J.H.Respons (19:22)

Björn Goop drives: Embakasi Sun (17:30), Call TheKing (18:38), Encore Un Sisu (19:00), Twigs Ceasar (19:22), FromHeaven Idzarda(19:44)
