Invincible Oscar
Invincible Oscar broke through at Downpatrick just this week, landing her first career win after six races without success. The five-year-old, trained by Noel C. Kelly at Draperstown in County Derry, has shown enough promise to suggest that breakthrough was no fluke — he has also finished second once in seven races, giving him a record of 1 win and 1 place. That places her in the middle ground: not a star in the making, but a horse capable of winning races rather than simply making up the numbers.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Her form over the past six runs tells an interesting story. After that maiden win at Downpatrick last week, she ran again just yesterday and came fourth — a solid enough effort so soon after her breakthrough. Before that victory, her best performances were an eighth place and a fifteenth, suggesting she needed the experience and confidence that comes with getting her head in front. Kelly's yard has been in decent form this season with 14 winners to its name, so Invincible Oscar has the backing of a trainer who knows how to get horses ready for the racecourse. At five years old, she is still learning her trade, and that first win at Downpatrick may well be the start of a run of success rather than a one-off moment. The next few weeks will tell whether she can build on it.
