HKJC WORLD POOL PARIS LANE STAKES
Open race to finish a big day but it looks a lovely option for TEN COMMANDMENTS (11) who has been in work a long time but is racing better than ever. Thought he was a query on a good 4 at Ballarat but he was dominant winning the Golden Nugget and he gets a lovely draw, wet ground and no weight. He did beat HOME RULE (15) when they met earlier in the campaign, Home Rule was a strong winner from the front in good time last start at Caulfield. He can give a sight again. CAFE MILLENIUM (2) had his chance here last time but ran well for third with a big weight. This is his pet track and trip but wet ground is a genuine concern. AMENABLE (4) ran well fresh for the new yard at Sandown Hillside and should strip fitter, wet ground shouldn't be an issue for him and he draws a nice middle alley. COTE ATLANTIQUE (5) beat home Cafe Millenium here last time as a 40/1 hope and must have some claims.

Flying and drawn ideally, return to wet ground won't hurt either.
Last start failed to make an impression; ran second last of 13 in the LR Tontonan (Sofitel) Stakes at this track on September 12 over 1400m, 10 len behind Welcometotheshow carrying 54kg at $5.50.

Will need to improve sharply.
