Decrypt is high-rated at 93 and carries top weight of 123 pounds, including jockey Zac Purton, in this 1,400-meter Class 2 handicap for horses rated 105-80. Decrypt races for the first time since May 25, when he finished third behind Phoenix of Spain and Too Darn Hot in the Irish 2000 Guineas.

Le Terroir has won four of his last five starts in six-furlong races at Happy Valley Racecourse in Hong Kong, rising rapidly through the handicap ratings utilized on that circuit.
Back in April, when Le Terroir won for the first time in his 10th start, he raced at a modest ratings mark of 47. When Le Terroir starts in Wednesday’s $185,234 Sea Eagle Handicap, he will race from a level of 79.
SHA TIN, Hong Kong – Glory Vase got a glorious trip under Joao Moreira and won the $2.55 million Hong Kong Vase to kick off the Group 1 action on the Hong Kong International Races program Sunday at Sha Tin.
Moreira, winning for the third time in the card’s first four races, settled Glory Vase in seventh much of the trip, guided him deftly through narrow passageways around the far turn and into the homestretch, dove to the inside when a path failed to open to his outside, and swooped past heavily favored Exultant at the furlong grounds to gallop home by 3 1/2 lengths.
SHA TIN, Hong Kong – Beat the Clock was up just in time to win his first Hong Kong Sprint after finishing third in the race last year.
Trainer John Size, a sprint master, went tick-tock in the Group 1, $2.55 million Sprint, with Hot King Prawn battling bravely to finish second. Jockey Joao Moreira? He rang the big chime, capturing his second Group 1 on the card, following Glory Vase’s Hong Kong Vase triumph, and winning four of the first five races Sunday at Sha Tin.
