As two-time Hong Kong Vase (G1) winner Glory Vase was making hard work of trying to win a third, it was the other Japanese shipper, Win Marilyn, who swooped late to score a new career high Sunday at Sha Tin.

Before Golden Sixty’s three-peat bid in the Hong Kong Mile (G1), Glory Vase will try to become the first three-time winner of the Hong Kong Vase (G1) on Sunday.

In a rousing rally reminiscent of the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1), Loves Only You speared between foes in deep stretch to go out a winner in Sunday’s $3.8 million Hong Kong Cup (G1) at Sha Tin.

Loves Only You must overcome a couple of dangerous compatriots, as well as classy European sophomores, in Sunday's Hong Kong Cup (G1).
