5 SPIRIT OF THE SEA ** 60.0 1 B !Motaung L Marwing WO/WH ** First run - watch the betting! **
PERIODIC TABLE produced a promising debut effort over 1160m at Turffontein. The son of Danon Platina was reported to be fatigued that day. He would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat. HAMMER BLOW raced from just off the pace over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Gunboat. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces. HURRICANE POWER has moderate form lines to her name. Her effort when third over this C&D, under Tshepiso Matsoele four runs ago catches the eye. She can give the males a run for their money. SPIRIT OF THE SEA is an unraced son of Querari from the Weiho and Warrick Marwing stable. He is related to three-time winner Icy Blast. If not in need of the run, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances.
