INVINCIBLE SHIELD

Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1400m course, jumping slowly but finishing strongly to win. He will carry seven pounds more in this race after another turf trial over 1200m, having previously won twice at this distance. The competition is even and he has drawn an advantageous inside barrier; the plan is to settle back early with a strong finishing kick, giving him a favorable chance. This horse holds a definite advantage in this race. Lyle Hewitson takes the ride, demonstrating some familiarity with the horse's capabilities, while trainer and jockey maintain good synergy. Morning trackwork shows improvement, suggesting another win is within reach.
