RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PARISIAN ARTISTE (8) produced a big finishing burst from a rearward position when an eye-catching third behind Aldebaran Zeus last week. He has the perfect trailing draw behind the likely leader PLYMOUTH CHUBB (1) and will take holding out via the sprint lane. PLYMOUTH CHUBB (1) worked home well and just failed to pick up the leader when a narrow second last week. He is suited to racing over the sprint distant and he is working up to a win so he must be respected from the pole position. WATTS UP PARTYTIME (2) is shooting for four straight victories and is taking on very similar opposition so he will obviously be hard to beat again. Whether or not he can work to the lead past PLYMOUTH CHUBB (1) in the early stages might be a big factor to the result of this event. HARRY STAMPER (6) continues to race in outstanding form and finished off nicely at his latest second so he is worth a ticket each way. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,7 RATINGS: 1,8/ 2/ 6/ 7/ 4
