Looking the proverbial handicap good thing CASINO NIGHT has to get the vote. As well as being 3lbs better off than when taking an apprentice race last time jockey Dale Swift is this time allowed to use his 5lb claim and given that win was on similar ground he looks the winner all over. Emeralds Spirit was also a last time out winner and won well enough to suggest a penalty won't stop a bold bid. Chookie Avon should be closed to the last mentioned on these terms so is considered as is Berbice based on his near miss over course and distance early last month. There are a few dangers but Casino Night looks a good thing.
