Spring Trial Watch – Maher Mares Poised to Pounce

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 27

I Am Invincible mare Tiz Invincible was the dominant filly in the Darley Princess Series in Sydney last year and looked strong and sharp in her second trial back winning her heat from Group I winner Royal Merchant and $10million earner Bella Nipotina.

Tiz Invincible lost her form during the autumn carnival when failing to place in four starts in elite company, but there seems to be plenty of spring in her step at present and it will be no surprise to see her bounce back and get the Group I win missing from her resume.
