DIVIDED HOUSE bounced back to form after a let-up to notch her fifth win in the Benchmark 74 - 1200m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji here tonight.

Partnered by Michael Rodd, the I Am Invincible mare as usual settled well off the pace early but turned in a terrific burst of speed in the home stretch to win by 3/4 length.

"She’s got a good first-up record and she will improve from it. She had a lovely run, and she looked a winner," said trainer Cliff Brown. "But at some point, I thought she would blow out but she didn’t."

After her last win last October, DIVIDED HOUSE was unplaced the following month before given a spell.

She was placed in two of her four starts in Perth before coming to Singapore.
