INVINCIBLE SHIELDOn April 14th, the horse recorded (dirt trial 1200m: 3-3-3), remaining calm in the early stages and finishing strongly with a relaxed surge over the final two furlongs. A recent winner, five weeks ago it impressively took victory over Sha Tin’s 1200m turf track, despite a slow start and settling towards the rear before accelerating quickly through the final two sections to win by one and a half lengths. A subsequent barrier trial showed slight improvement. Now stepping up in class, this race is over Sha Tin's 1400m turf – its first attempt at this distance. The horse will carry a 16-pound weight reduction, the increased distance appears suitable, and it has drawn an advantageous inside barrier. A hold-up tactic is expected, relying on a strong finishing kick, and conditions are favorable. This horse holds a clear advantage in this race; Craig Williams takes the ride, a jockey known for controlling pace, and pre-race preparation has been excellent, suggesting another win is within reach.
