8/12/13 / G1 / LONGINES Hong Kong Vase / ST, HK / 2400 RH / 126 / G Mosse

Last year’s victor and 3rd (dead-heat) the year before. Recently runner-up for second time in G1 Melbourne Cup (3200m). A versatile and top-class performer, he followed his 2012 LONGINES Hong Kong Vase win with a game 2nd in the G1 Dubai World Cup (2000m, Tapeta) in March and then 3rd in G1 Tenno Sho (Spring) over 3200m. A little below-par in Europe this summer but bounced back in Australia latest. Tactically versatile and no ground worries.

Followed G1 Melbourne Cup win with an historic victory in this race in 2011. Showed improved form in Europe in 2012 without winning and returned to Australia to cosily land that year’s G1 Caulfield Cup (2400m). Slowly away and never a factor under top-weight in the 2012 Melbourne Cup. Failed to win this year but never out of first four in initial four starts in 2013, all at G1 level, including 2nd in both the Coronation Cup and Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Below best in G2 Prix Foy and when 11th in G1 Melbourne Cup this autumn but back to form with fine 5th in G1 Japan Cup latest, 1 1/2L behind Gentildonna. Best held up and handles all going.

Won HKG3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup before running 3rd in HKG1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup each of the past two seasons – both at the course and distance. Setback forced him to miss this race last season. Below-par two runs this term, latterly when 5L 8th in G2 LONGINES Jockey Club Cup. G2-placed in UK over 2080m before moving to HK. Appreciates good ground. Best when settled back in the pack.

Last season’s G2 Italian Derby hero headed to Sha Tin for the 2012 Cup off 2nds in the G1 Grosser Preis Von Bayern (2400m), the G1 Preis Von Europa (2400m) and the G1 Premio Roma (2000m) but was last of 11 in Hong Kong. The bargain buy has bounced back this autumn. Followed French Listed win with victory in G1 Premio Roma (2000m) on 3 November. Often held up. Untried on faster than good and handles heavy.

Third in G1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) last start. Talented dual G3-winning stayer whose best form is beyond 2400m, but twice winner at distance in lesser grade. Started year with G3 win over 2681m but lost way in two starts after until rediscovering zip in late summer. Opted for Japan Cup (12th) after 5th in 2012 Melbourne Cup but connections keen to try Hong Kong this time. Versatile tactically and no ground worries.

Has won seven of 37 starts. Won G2 Copa Republica Argentina at Tokyo (2500m) latest. First win since July 2012 when landed only previous Group race success in G3 Tanabata Sho (2000m) at Fukushima. Had been a miler prior to that win and has not raced at 2400m or in G1 company. 3/4-length 5th three starts back in G2 over 2200m. Runner-up on rain affected track in a 2000m G2 at Sapporo in August but best on firm.

Five-time HK winner from 1600m to 2400m. True stayer who scuppered Ambitious Dragon’s Triple Crown bid in May 2012 with a win in the HKG1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) to claim Champion Stayer honours. Franked that with solid 4th in this race last year. In good heart first-up when 4th under top-weight in 1800m Class 2 and similar warm-up to last year when 5L 9th in G2 LONGINES Jockey Club Cup latest. Best when racing prominent. No ground issues.

Top-class three-time G1 winner. Unlucky not to win the G1 Oaks (2400m) as a 3yo last season but did land G1 Nassau Stakes (1975m) and was 3rd in Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (2000m). Even better this year. Trounced rivals in G1 Yorkshire Oaks (2400m) in August and saw off the boys to win G1 Irish Champion Stakes (2000m) two weeks later. Touched off late when close 2nd in G1 Breeders’ Cup Turf (2400m) in November. Usually held-up in touch. No ground worries.

Last year’s G1 German Oaks runner-up gained G1 success this year when making all to easily win the Preis Von Berlin (2400m) by three lengths in July. Followed up with 3rd in Turkish G2 and was last seen running a fading 6th on soft going behind Seal Of Approval in G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes in October. Often leads. Handles some cut but seems best on sound surface.
