Scottsville Race 1 - Scottsville Maiden Plate
ONE ARMED BANDIT (1) hails from the Paul Lafferty stable. He is better than his last start over 1800m as the jockey reported something to be amiss in running. His form before that outing was decent. He drops back in distance and will be hard to beat in this weak field. LIMELIGHT LEGEND (8) needed his debut effort over this trip. He would have come on from the run and should have made the natural improvement. LIFE ON THE TIDES (9) is an unraced son of Buffalo Bill Cody from the MJ Odendaal stable with Athandiwe Mgudlwa in the saddle. He does not need to be a stable superstar to win in this field. The betting market will be the best guide with regard to his chances. GLOBAL DRUMBEAT (3) is the stablemate of the third pick. He was in need of his debut effort over 1000m. He would have gained from the experience and should have improvement to come. Include in all combinations.

Second run back. Comes off a 39-day let-up. First-up after eight months ran last of 9 at Greyville on November 27 over 1200m, 11 len behind Slytherin carrying 59kg at $67. Previously second-up 8th of 12 at Greyville on April 21 over 1600m, 8 len behind Buzz Bomb carrying 56kg at $126. Unlikely to threaten.
