Although the uncertainty is high (8), this might be a keeper. The MPC and JPL don't seem to fully agree on elements and epoch, this could be one that is visible in plain telescopes.
Near close approach, it will be only ~18° altitude in my southern skies inside the Stinger of Scorpius, but moving near 4'/min at magnitude 9.66 June 29th, 02:00CDT.
With 18 obs over 43 days, discovered May 7th at Pan-STARRS 1, Haleakala, the orbital els could get better by the close approach on July 29, 09:13CDT when it will be 15° below my horizon but moving 6.5'/min but mag 9.1 on the Sagittarius/Aquila border.
