Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a genuine tempo. SCOTT'S BAR (7) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1400m at Greyville. This a little easier and has upside. Can make a winning return. THEODORE ROOSEVELD (3) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish eighth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Turffontein Inside after he was well back on straightening. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. ELUSIVE DIAMOND (5) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Glen Kotzen. By Elusive Fort from Diamonds 'N Dust. Watch for a betting push. TIPPERARY (2) finished 6 lengths from the winner in ninth at her most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
