Giavellotto not only returns as last year’s Vase champion following his dominant Sha Tin win over 2400m, but he also comes into the race off a fourth placing in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe — a result that supports his position as equal favourite.

Sosie also brings elite form into the Vase after finishing third in the Arc, adding further depth to the top of the market and highlighting the strength of this year’s international staying contingent.

Al Riffa is close behind them at $4.40 for trainer Joseph O’Brien, and he brings elite recent form of his own after a sound seventh placing in the Melbourne Cup under a testing 59kg topweight.

That effort followed his commanding Irish St Leger victory, a run that remains one of the standout staying performances of the season.

Urban Chic rounds out the leading chances at $6, maintaining his position in the market after a consistent preparation and a solid last run that keeps him competitive among the key Vase contenders.

Held each December at Sha Tin, the Hong Kong Vase is one of four Group 1 features on Hong Kong International Raceday and serves as the premier 2400m staying contest of the meeting, forming the long-distance leg of the global end-of-year championship.

Run under weight-for-age conditions and open to three-year-olds and up, the race routinely attracts a blend of elite Hong Kong stayers and high-quality international visitors, particularly from Japan and Europe, who have long played a major role in the event’s history.

The honour roll is highlighted by standout global stayers who have used the Vase as a key late-season target, with several world-class performers establishing their international credentials at Sha Tin.

Giavellotto (2024) claimed last year’s edition with a dominant performance, adding his name to a list that includes notable winners such as Glory Vase (2019, 2021), Highland Reel (2015), Exultant (2018) and Stay Gold (2001).
