I reckon he could have had a pretty good idea. Sauron had his minions all over the place so he knew about Lothlorien (and indeed it had come under attack from Orcs so that suggests he was suspicious) and he knew who was powerful in Middle-earth. If I'd been Sauron I could have made myself a good shortlist. The one that might have been a bit of a curveball though would have been Gandalf being a ringbearer; Sauron may well have suspected Saruman instead, had he even suspected a non-Elf of having one of the three.
