Progressive four-year-old INVINCIBLE IBIS looks poised to secure a fourth straight victory when he lines up in the Class 3 Handicap over 1600m at Sha Tin this Sunday.
Boasting a perfect top-three strike rate from six career starts, INVINCIBLE IBIS has swept all before him since breaking through three runs ago. Renowned for his blistering turn of foot, the son of Hellbent was particularly impressive last time out, comfortably accounting for a strong field that included the talented DAZZLING FIT, scoring by 1.75 lengths over this course and distance.
Now two-from-two since stepping into this grade, INVINCIBLE IBIS stands out as the horse to beat on current form and looks hard to oppose given his continued upward trajectory. He also shapes as a leading contender for this season’s Four-Year-Old Series, which gets underway on February 1.
Of his potential challengers, FIT FOR BEAUTY comes off a narrow yet impressive Class 4 victory but faces the acid test of Class 3 company for the first time, while BEAUTY BOLT brings consistent form at this level, though an awkward draw under top weight tempers confidence.
