Owner/trainer Stefan Melander took his time to decide whether or not to enter his top trotter in the prestigious trotting event raced over 1-5/16 miles, but he has just informed Oslo that he will race Nuncio in the Oslo Grand Prix.

It will be the first time Nuncio has raced outside Sweden since competing in Europe and Ôrjan Kihlström will once again receive the drive.
Melander has also entered another of his top trotters, Volstead, in the Oslo Grand Prix.

Nine of the 10 trotters in the field have been established and are as follows:

• Her Highness
• Un Mec d’Heripre
• Lionel
• Victory Bonzai
• Support Justice
• Papagayo E
• BBS Sugarlight
• Nuncio
• Volsted

The draw for post positions will take place tomorrow afternoon (June 5) local time.
