11a Piranha? just a guess

[Toorak]

Pirhana looks good

Pi ((very good) ran ( raced) h (horse) a

[bookbinder]

Gill, piranha looks good to me.
piranha = swimmer
very good = pi
raced = ran
against a horse = a h reversed (against) h a

[Gill55]

5d capture (take) apt is likely, just a guess again

[Captain2]

^^^^ (to) CURE (with salt)?

[bookbinder]

5d cure can mean 'to preserve', as in home-cured meat. And that's sometimes done with salt.

[scorpiojo]

In (batting) style (call)
