Has shown some recent improvement and normally pretty consistent; second at Vaal when 5-2 last month; recent display was promising so should be on the premises.

Respectable effort in defeat (beaten 3l) over 5f here (maiden plate) two weeks ago - split Give Me A Chance and Echoes Of War; has taken a step forward the last twice; recent display was promising so ought to be competitive.

Still looking to open his account after four runs; last of 13 upped to 7f last week (Vaal) in a maiden juvenile plate; others appeal more.

Early foal; sibling of Ideal Summer (1m½f winner); there's hope from the pedigree that he has some ability; could be in the mix with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire is a speed influence.

Verdict
Berry Lancer looks the most dangerous rival but SPIRIT OF THE SEA is a confident pick. Rising Eagle and October Reef have eyecatching pedigrees, and some of the newcomers have decent credentials, notably Rising Eagle and October Reef.
