INVINCIBLE STEED

Three weeks ago, in a straight-up race, the horse showed excellent form. Although slow to jump out and settled towards the rear with a steady pace, he gradually closes in during the final stages to secure second place. Fortunately, the margin was small, indicating a high standard of performance. In his subsequent trial over 1200m on Sha Tin turf, despite a slightly unfavorable position and barrier draw for this distance, he managed to remain in the rear. His finishing kick is arguably the strongest in his current company and the distance should suit him; any lack of performance is not surprising.
