Tony Cruz declares Exultant ‘fit and ready’ as he looks to create Hong Kong Vase history

Tony Cruz is confident that Exultant will make history in the Hong Kong Vase on Sunday. The six-year-old is one of only three Hongkong-trained horses to win the race. Aidan O'Brien- trained Mogul is the main opposition for Exultsant. Furore is a local hope in Hong kong Cup (2,000m) and Caspar Fownes is happy with his five-years- old horse's barrier one.  Computer Patch has drawn 11 for the Sprint and Cruz said Alexis Badel is likely to go forward on the speedster.
