Parker fills in for Schott on Sunday.

The Edinburgh Monarchs continue their quest for Premier League glory as they take on the Reading Racers at Armadale this Friday (7.30). Frede Schott will not be fit for Monarchs so King's Lynn's Shane Parker stands in.

For Reading, their season has been transformed by the introduction of young Polish rider Janusz Kolodziej who has performed brilliantly for them. With Garry Stead guesting for the injured Phil Morris, the Racers will not be an easy hurdle for Monarchs.
