STRATHCLYDE (1) finished 3 lengths away from the winner in third last start at Scottsville over 7½f Has a very good record over this journey with two wins from four starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. OFFICER IN COMMAND (3) was a winner in a at this track then was competitive last time when fourth over 1m1 1/2f at Greyville, beaten only 2 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. GIAMBATTISTA (2) saluted at the first run back from a lay-off last start over 7f at this track, scoring by 0.9 lengths. Has been given a let-up of six weeks since that outing. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the winning hopes again. SPELLING BEE (6) hit the frame two starts ago at Greyville but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1m at Greyville. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
