Jabberwocky silk
Jabberwocky 1
J: J R Syster
T: D Nieuwenhuizen
Finished tailed off over 1m at Vaal (maiden plate) two months ago; needs to improve on balance of recent form and still winless and defeats stacking up (25 on the bounce); others more appealing.

J: K Strydom

Last of six over 1m½f at Vaal (maiden plate) last week; yet to manage better than fifth in his five races; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Camillo Cavour
J: K De Melo
T: J J Van Vuuren
There's hope from the sire that he has some ability; already a gelding; related to multiple race winner Hey Siri (1m-1m2f); one to be interested in as some good aspects to his profile.

Didn't offer much on her debut (over this trip here) at 100-1 in November; returning from a layoff here; could improve from first run although a leap forward required to win this.

Starlite Silk
J: C Habib

Towards the rear of 14 at Vaal over 7f (maiden plate) in May; this just her third race; should be more streetwise; could be in the shake up.

Verdict

ONE EYE ON DUBAI is top of the list. Starlite Silk should be on the shortlist, and Camillo Cavour is expected to be in the thick of things.
