There is sure to be a nice race awaiting Nordic Prince in the Spring after his convincing first up win at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

He is a lightly raced colt with a lot of potential, he has never been overtaxed, two runs in the early Summer, missed the Autumn, everything is now beginning to fall into place.

Mick Price can be a bit reserved in summing up the prospects of his horses but there were positive signs seen at the Valley.

The colt was never far off the leaders at any stage, once Craig Newitt popped the question the answer was immediate, he scored by a length and three quarters.

The Caulfield Guineas would be pencilled in, that is a logical thought, whether he would get the trip of 1600 metres remains to be seen.

His is by Wilander, a horse with an explosive source of speed when trained by Lee Freedman; he was destined for a great future as a sire but sadly proved in fertile.

Nordic Prince is one of the few foals to represent Wilander when he originally stood his first season in 2010 at Sam Hayes’s Cornerstone Stud, a part of the old Lindsay Park property at Angaston in South Australia
