Encountered - HKG
Cantered one lap of the main track.
Jockey Derek Leung said: “It’s the right time to test him at this level. Because he’s had a couple of good runs, some time off, he’s fresh and he’s feeling good. The draw could be a big help against these horses. I can’t wait to see how he performs.”
Namur - JPN

Yohei Ogawa (stable representative) said: “Everything goes well, and we will gallop her on turf tomorrow morning”
Divina - JPN

One and a half laps canter on the all-weather track. Keiichiro Yasuda (stable representative) said: “He is relaxed and easy. So far, very good.”
Serifos - JPN
One and a half laps canter on the all-weather track and paddock schooled.
Shinya Matsuoka (stable representative) said: “He trains well and is getting used to the track surface in Hong Kong day by day. Parade ring schooling went well because Prognosis was leading him. (Yuga) Kawada will ride his gallop tomorrow on turf.”
Soul Rush - JPN
Easy canter for 1.5 laps of the all-weather track.
Yasutoshi Ikee's stable representative Yuki Iwasaki said: “He's good. He showed nice footwork during the work and was breathing well. He will have paddock schooling tomorrow with his stablemate Zeffiro.”
Tribalist - FR
Cantered just under a lap of the all-weather track under work rider Johann Herve, leading stablemate Junko (Vase).
Richard Lambert, stable representative for trainer Andre Fabre, said: “It’s a bit warmer again this morning but they have both adapted well. They are both in good shape and it’s a case of making sure they stay that way ahead of the race on Sunday.
“Tribalist is a horse who has made the running but things might be a little different in terms of the Japanese and other runners here. The draw might be a determining factor for him.”
Lim’s Kosciuszko – SIN
Steady work on the all-weather track.
Trainer Dan Meagher said: “He did one and a half laps.
He’ll do two laps tomorrow (on the all-weather track) and then will do one lap for the rest of the week.
“You can see he is relaxed and not pulling. He was a bit stirred up yesterday, but he’ll be right.”
Trackwork videos will be available by noon the day after (Videos of Dec 6 and 7 will be available on Dec 8).
