GOING: S(6)

Winning Edge Presentations Paris Lane Stakes 1400m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Jigsaw and Not An Option to set a strong early tempo joined by Royal Champion pushing on from an outside draw. ARRAN BAY (5) boasts an outstanding second up record (4 wins from 5 starts), and typically improves his rating each time. He wasn't far off his best fresh over this track and trip on wet ground and firmer footing here will only suit better. Looks a great each way bet. Huge watch on ROYAL CHAMPION (1). His overseas form would blow these away but he's off a year's break, big weight, wide draw, over a trip well short of his best. Market will be key. COIN TOSS (10) won easily fresh first up last time in before starting in the market in a couple of good form races. He's right in this. MAKRAM (8) was fine fresh at this track and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arran Bay each-way.
