Highland Reel showed his well-being ahead of his bid for back-to-back victories in the Longines Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin with a canter on the all-weather track on Monday.
Aidan O'Brien's admirable globe-trotter took the mile and a half Group One prize from Flintshire 12 months ago and again had that horse back in second place when winning the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita a month ago.
O'Brien's travelling head lad Pat Keating said: "He's travelled well, and everything is good.
"We'll just keep him ticking over and freshen him up."
