Sheikh Fahad Al Thani's Dunaden completed a famous double as he stormed to victory in the Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin.
The Melbourne Cup hero was given a cool ride by Craig Williams, who missed his moment of glory at Flemington last month through suspension.
Prominent early before soon being taken back as Mighty High and then Jakkalberry cut out the running, the Mikael Delzangles-trained Dunaden picked up in great style a furlong out and soon put the race to bed.
Thumbs Up was a creditable second, with Ed Dunlop's Red Cadeaux and Freddie Head's Silver Pond finishing well to dead-heat for third.
Godolphin's Campanologist, trained by Emirati Saeed bin Suroor and ridden by Frankie Dettori, came home fifth in the Group One Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin on Sunday, December 11. A race report will be available shortly.
