Aidan O’Brien runner backed to win Hong Kong Vase

Sportsbet.com.au punters are siding with the overseas raider in the first of the features at Sha Tin this afternoon, the Hong Kong Vase (2400m).

Aidan O’Brien is looking to win his third Vase and has in the race the highly promising Mogul. It’s been clearly the best supported since markets opened Thursday, opening $2.60, bottoming out at $2.05 before settling at $2.10.

Local champ Exultant opened the $1.75 favourite, which was too short, and has eased to $2.10. The up and comer is Columbus County, but he’s been very easy, out to $9.00 from $6.00.
