Water Spirit should come to the boil at last

Ken Nicol

Water Spirit looked a winner on her sprint debut only to be collared late by useful, and similarly nautical themed Hidden Depths.

But the expensive Jackson filly now goes over 1600m at Durbanville tomorrow in Race 3, a Maiden Plate, and should make amends.

The main threat is a rival stud, in the form of Drakenstein-owned and bred Bella Summer.

Another five star bet on the card is in the Listed Settlers Trophy. Magnificent Seven has won four of his last five races in a fluent manner.

This time he can be expected to come home with daylight to spare.

A year ago Red Peril stole this race from the front, and may well come out the primary danger again.

Double of the Day : Race 3 (13) Water Spirit on to Race 6 (3) Magnificent Seven.
