Kiseki (Jpn) (Rulership {Jpn}), the G1 Kikuka Sho winner and declared for Sunday's G1 Longines Hong Kong Vase and G1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint hopeful Signs of Blessing (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) have both been given veterinary clearance to start in their respective races.
Kiseki arrived from Japan with ringworm, a fungal skin irritation, which Hong Kong Jockey Club officials were not made aware of until the 3-year-old colt's arrival into Hong Kong. Kiseki trained over the Sha Tin dirt course Saturday morning as programmed and was later pronounced suitable to start.
Signs of Blessing was found to have a slight blood abnormality which was most likely attributable to his travel over from Europe. A routine pre-race veterinary examination Saturday morning found him fit to run as well.
