Superlative Stakes option for exciting South Seas

Andrew Balding's impressive Windsor winner South Seas could run in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket next week.

The Lope De Vega youngster bolted up by eight lengths on his debut and looked a Group horse in the making.

Owned by Qatar Racing, he seemed at home on the soft ground and Balding is keen to see if he handles quicker conditions.

"He was impressive, they looked like the clocked a pretty good time and he looks an exciting horse," Balding told At The Races.

"We liked him before but you never quite know first time out, we managed to get Elm Park beaten first time so he's done well to break the tradition of our horses needing a run.

"He'll probably have an entry in the Superlative Stakes next week, I think he wants seven furlongs, Oisin (Murphy) thought that.

"Obviously he might have to encounter faster ground but we'll have to try that at some stage.

"He looks a nice horse and will have some nice entries in the autumn."
