Cuzzie

J: D Schwarz

T: L W Goosen

Well held ninth of 11 in a maiden plate three weeks ago here; something to find with Tickalox (third) on that performance; needs new headgear to provoke some improvement; faces no easy task

White Seahorse

Went close at 5-4 latest at Greyville Polytrack; has run nine times without getting off the mark; he shouldn't be far away if building on promise shown last time

Vencedor

Turned in a solid effort in defeat last month, when third in a maiden plate here over 7f; the second won since; if stepping up from most recent effort is a major player

Prince Florian

J: C Zackey

VENCEDOR has to be the first name on the shortlist. He has seen the form of his latest run well advertised. White Seahorse could be vulnerable to a less exposed rival while Deputy Chief certainly isn't out of it, and Prince Florian needs to bounce back from a below-par run.
