Thursdays Randwick trials saw some of the Autumns big players out in force, and while most eyes were on Performer to see if he could get his Slipper campaign back on track following his wayward run in the Todman stakes, one of our paddock graduates announced themselves as an Autumn 2 year old contender.

Invictus Salute (Exceed & Excel X Acquired) was having her second trial, following a hard held second back on the 27th of February behind Californiasurprise.
Sitting the widest runner throughout Thursdays trial, Invictus Salute worked solidly down the outside for a length win over the well credentialed Enbihaar, winner of the Blue Diamond fillies Prelude and subsequent runner up in the Group 1 Blue Diamond and now on a Golden Slipper program.
Passed in at the 2017 Magic Millions for $525,000, the filly was retained by her breeders Geoff & Mary Grimish who have raced plenty of champions in the past, including Red Tracer and of course Counterattak who commenced his stud duties last season here at Kitchwin.
Trained by Mark Newnham whose winning strike rate is up with the best in Sydney at the moment at 17.2%, Invictus Salute holds a nomination for the Golden Slipper should she progress to that this preparation.
