CASINO TRICKS (7) started at 7/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths at Laurel (Dirt) over 6f after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. TIME THE AVENGER (2) is back from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt). Has found a suitable race. STOMPING MOON (3) is a genuine type with 10 minor placings from 16 starts this time in work. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 7f at this track (Dirt) after he was prominent throughout. In a suitable race and can play a major role. MON GATEAU (1) dug deep to score two runs back then was beaten 2 lengths into third over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time seven weeks ago. Has a decent record at this track. Too good to ignore.
