Classic Cup order released
The Jockey Club has released an order of entry for the Classic Cup, with few surprises.
The club published a field of 14 with 4 reserves and though it isn't the final field, it will be close to it.
We have listed them under their HK Winning Factor rating order but the field will be lead out by Classic Mile winner, My Wish (pictured), now rated 95 by the handicapper.
There are no real surprises although an interesting inclusion in the field is the the former South African Derby third placegetter, Mondial, now trained by David Hayes.
Mondial has yet to race in Hong Kong but has been prepared for whenever his first start comes with 6 barrier trials this season.
Some of the jockey bookings include Joao Moreira as the likely new jockey for the horse who was Zac Purton's Classic Cup pick until his fall, Packing Angel.
Other known bookings include Blake Shinn for Packing Hermod, Craig Williams for Cap Ferrat, Tom Marquand for Divano, James McDonald for Stunning Peach and Lyle Hewitson for Steps Ahead. Luke Ferraris sticks with Classic Mile winner My Wish and presumbly Andrea Atzeni sticks with Johannes Brahms after his Class 2 victory on Sunday.
