Trained by Paul Peter, Nautic Spirit broke her maiden at the same track in February before finishing third.

Passed in as a weanling, Nautic Spirit was bred by Baddock Bloodstock and is the first foal of Karalli, a half-sister to stakes-winner Actress and and also the dam of Group I stars Desert War and Laser Hawk.
Karalli was bought by Rosemont Stud at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale in 2015 and they sold a Zoustar filly from her at Magic Millions last year for $400,000.
Her current yearling filly by Starspangledbanner was passed in at Inglis Premier and she was covered by Capitalist last spring.
