Cousin Casey
J: G Lerena
T: S G Tarry
Has achieved five wins from 22 career runs and from a respected trainer; 1½l second in the Champions Cup at Greyville when dropped down to 1m1f in July; he's worth a go; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and should benefit from return to this trip.

Couldn't land a blow when fourth of nine at Greyville over 1m2f (Grade 1) in May; specialist here with three wins; returns from a layoff; has a chance if excused most recent run as achieved Grade 2 success two runs back and he has won in classy company before.

Finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 4l) over 5½f at Vaal (stakes race) 25 days ago; has not been firing consistently and a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win last August); meeting some horses in good form and has some questions to answer.

Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 3-10) and has been fairly consistent this year; finished fifth last month albeit only beaten just under 3l over 5f here (stakes race); finished ahead of Sheldon but was behind William Robertson; hard to ignore.

Verdict

COUSIN CASEY is hard to look beyond. He will go well if repeating the sort of form he showed in his latest exploits and his good career strike-rate is persuasive. Pure Predator has winning form over C&D.
