CULTIVATOR didn't excel himself with a moody display in a Grade 1 event at Sandown last time so he arrives here with something to prove but he easily sets the standard on earlier form and could prove a cut above unless the reintroduction of blinkers have a galvanising effect on Pilansberg. Just Before Dawn would be of interest if the market vibes are positive.
