It's premature to compare a conditions race on the A/W to international Gr 1 events like the Hong Kong Vase and Melbourne Cup. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Irish Flame sh!t in, and if I believed in this sort of thing I'd be doing a rain dance before the Sha Tin race. However, there's bound to be some quality European and Japanese 2400m horses in the line-up. If I remember, last year's Vase was won by a former winner of the English St Leger and Italian Derby called Mastery, so it's a proper race and make no mistake.
That said - go Irish Flame go!X(
