Dan Excel in Singapore Cup

 Japanese invitee CAPOTE STAR is not coming to Singapore after connections decided to withdraw him from the Singapore Airlines International Cup (2000m) on May 19, but the $3 million International Group 1 race will now be welcoming the addition of Hong Kong’s most recent feature winner, DAN EXCEL.   Fresh from his fighting win in the HK$12 million Group 1 Champions Mile (1600m) last Sunday, DAN EXCEL will now join stablemate MILITARY ATTACK, himself a winner of the HK$14 million Group 1 Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2000m) a week earlier, to form a two-pronged attack for trainer John Moore in the Kranji showpiece.   An Irish-bred five-year-old by Shamardal, DAN EXCEL has often been around the mark in major races at Sha Tin, such as running second in the Group 1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m) and the Group 2 Chairman’s Trophy (1600m), before he finally went one better on Sunday .
