Unplaced on debut when stepping out on heavy ground at Salisbury, the Mark
Johnston trained filly appreciated a firmer surface for her second outing to
dash clear and win the five furlong scamper by five lengths.Diviner is owned by the Kingsley Park 8 syndicate and was purchased by her trainer for just €14,000 from the Castlebridge Consignment at the Goffs Orby Sale.
A half-sister to stakes-placed Ponfeigh, Diviner is the third winner from Water Fountain, a sibling to Group III winner Spring Oak and stakes-winner Fragrant Hill, the dam of Group I winners Fragrant Mix and Alpine Rose.
A triple Group I winning son of Invincible Spirit, Charm Spirit has made a positive impression at Australasian yearling sales this year with his first Southern Hemisphere bred yearlings.
