Nordic has made a highly encouraging start to his career and looks a potential stakes performer.

The Ocean Park three-year-old placed at his first two starts before his breakthrough success at Avondale.

Trained by Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, he is part-owned by Waikato Stud.

Nordic is a son of Queen Cha Cha, an unraced High Chaparral mare who is proving an outstanding producer.

All four of her foals to race have been successful and include the dual Group One winner Suavito and the stakes winner Sultan Of Swing.

There is also an international flavour to the pedigree with the presence of the European Group winners Pyrrha and Everything Nice.
