All set for cracking Laurels semi-finals

THE Pat Hennerty Sales Irish Laurels is building up to a huge crescendo with two fantastic semi-finals lined up for Saturday night.

Such is the quality of both races that, irrespective of what happens at this stage, we are guaranteed a high class final line-up the following weekend.

The latest betting lists have Dream Walker and Rockchase Bullet as the 4-1 joint favourites and I suspect this situation is largely influenced by the semi-final trap draws rather than the current form of the main contenders.
