Potentially well treated but form has an up and down look to it; not beaten too far when sixth of 11 in December; facing a testing assignment and looks risky.

Finished ninth of 12 at Turffontein two weeks ago; slumped a bit since winning a maiden plate at Vaal last June; others appeal more as this could be a hot race.

Verdict
Captain Efficient is beginning to look exposed while Antonio Gaudi is interesting. But MISTER WILSON is hard to look beyond. He bids for a second C&D success.
