V'Invincible Set To Flex Muscles Over Longer

Duma, Trees Of Valinor, Defeater and Cheval Pegasus all primed for 3YO Mile

V'Invincible's last-start second was full of merit. One could say he was a "good horse beaten".

On June 15, V'Invincible ran second to a good three-year-old in Trees Of Valinor. The son of I Am Invincible lost by three parts of a length with Troy See doing his best to urge him along.

It came in the wake of V'Invincible having to take third placings at his two previous outings. Trainer Richard Lim and owners from the Vgor Stable could have been beating their chests in anguish.

But they would not be crying over spilt milk. Instead, they would be looking forward to June 29.

V'Invincible will be lining up in a Class 4A event, and he has a few factors in his favour.

He gets in with a handy weight of 54.5kg, the second lowest in the field of 13: just 1/2 kg more than Legacy Fortune.

The former Singapore galloper will also relish the 1,500m trip. To top it all, he will trot to the start with a good gallop under his belt.

On the morning of June 24, V'Invincible was one of the stars on the training track, clocking 37.9sec for the 600m trip.
