Scottsville Race 5 - March Stakes (3-Year-Olds)
ROLAND GARROS (5) should go close. Not disgraced at the top level two back then determined winner last time. Unbeaten this trip from two tries. Big chance to go back-to-back. I'M A FIREBALL (1) was an easy winner two back then safely held in far tougher latest. Nicely placed to atone. ANAAL SKATER (2) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Greyville All Weather over 1400m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. GOTTA GO EDDIE (4) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1750m at this track when beaten 1.4 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Should give backers a sight.

Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Last start 5th of 11 at Greyville All Weather on January 28 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Eventidor carrying 60kg at $17. The start before that second last in a small field at Greyville on January 2 over 1200m, 4 len behind Fortress Of Fire carrying 57.5kg at $21. This looks too tough.
