WINNIPEG -- One more win and Kevin Martins dream of curling in another Olympics is a lot closer to reality. The veteran Edmonton skip has been to three, winning silver in 2002 and gold in 2010. Martin and co-leader Brad Jacobs will faceoff Thursday at the Olympic Trials and one of them will take sole possession of first place, with the bonus of a free ride into the mens final Sunday. "I really would love to get to one more Olympics and you know we have a shot at it," Martin said after disposing of John Epping 9-5 in nine ends Wednesday. "But we have to play really well and we have to somehow get to that final game Sunday and weve got a long way to go to get there." John Morris suffered just his second loss, dropping 8-6 to Jacobs after running out of rocks in 10. Morris made a game of it, scoring two and stealing two to tie it up going into nine. Despite a couple of mistakes, Jacobs foursome out of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., shook it off, scored two in the ninth and showed why theyve won five straight. And winning Thursday is just as much in their sights for the straight path to the final it offers. "Youre already in the final," said Jacobs. "Youve got one more game to go and youre in the Olympics. We know whats on the line tomorrow and were up to the challenge." Three losses was considered a tough sell to make the playoffs but its becoming a big club at the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings. Jeff Stoughton already has three but he didnt add to the number with a 10-6 win over winless Kevin Koe in eight ends. Then Glen Howard drew to the button to beat Mike McEwen 6-5. McEwen joined Howard and Stoughton at 2-3 while Epping fell to 1-4 and Morris sits alone at 3-2. Stoughton is a hometown favourite but knows his odds are very slim to make the playoffs but at least the tight race below the leaders leaves him some hope. "Oh, definitely its a long shot," he said. Stoughton plays the other Winnipeg mens rink in the trials, skipped by Mike McEwen, in the evening draw Thursday. "One of us is going to have three (wins) . . .
