THE final Group 1 of the Hong Kong 2019/20 racing season takes place at Sha Tin tomorrow, where Irish import Exultant, formerly Irishcorrespondent, is the red-hot favourite to secure a second Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup.

Exultant has proven himself Hong Kong’s champion stayer and a repeat of his QEII Cup victory here last month over 12 furlongs, should see him home. The extra distance should suit him, the only issue being that he had a hard race last time when he took on the front-running Time Warp early in the straight and had to battle for a few furlongs before holding off the run of Furore.
