Race 5) wo 25,000 LT TROT
(9) DINK ADOO not known for early speed but is sharp and its getting hard to go against Sears in these situations (4) LHASA MUSCLES tuck from post #10 then went uncovered in fast mile, can leave (7) JUSTICE HALL a little break off his recent road trips and probably content to close (6) SIR VALAHAD Lachance barn though enough of him to reclaim and should be firing out as usual

(1) ARMBRO CAYENNE came home in 54.1 in sharp 1st start with Sears (6) KHAKI’S FEATHER beaten favorite in last two needs smoother trip (8) SWAMI SAYZ is becoming a risky proposition but major threat in the stretch (3) VEGAS KING faces better but impressive for our friends at Harness Racing Connections

(8) KING SANDS N Sears’ choice was blocked in the stretch and has good early speed (4) MIDNIGHT GAMBIT is sharp now evidenced by fast last half (1) TENNANT IN CHIEF got buried but post #1 may prove tricky again (10) LIVE OUT LOUD definite value play, sharp 26 and change on both ends in last win, Lachance will have to leave for position

Race 8) wo 25,000LT
(2) ROB ROY MATTGREGOR been knocking on the door, now gets 1st time Sears (4) RARE JEWEL has been sharp of late and even Campbell should be able to get him to the top without much incident (8) HOP SING probably be content to close in this spot (6) CASIMIR CAMOTION Brennan stays and as we have stated before, one of our favorites, but will need one
