MOHAWK
12/26: 2w, + closers, off track
PHANTOM SEELSTER –
Left from post 6 and tucked 4th, ranged first over against a loose-on-the-lead pacesetter, collared him into the stretch and drew clear to a sharp win
STOLEN ART –
Was 8th and far off a modest pace, came 4th over behind a weak flow, followed cover three wide on the final turn and finished sharply to win going away
NORTHFIELD
12/27: 7w, + speed, sloppy track
12/26: 6w, no bias
OUT WIT –
Left and was parked the mile forcing the pace, battled with the leader, was shaken off but held okay considering
DAYTON

NOAH Z TAM –
Was 9th at the half, followed cover 5th over, followed cover three wide at the three quarters and finished gamely to just miss from a tough spot
P L HAYMAKER –

Left from post 7 and was used hard to the lead in :26 4/5, yielded, moved out behind cover on the final turn and was second best behind the sharp 2/5 winner
ABOUT THE BENJAMINS –
Was 7th at the half, followed poor cover then ducked back in, found room in the stretch and finished quickly for the show
THAT’S MY OPINION –
Likes this track, left, was parked to the lead in :26 4/5, yielded for the pocket trip, found room along the inside in midstretch and drew off quickly full of pace
