River Dancer Steps In For Vanquished

River Dancer, winner of the 2004 Audemars Piguet QEII Cup (Gr.1-2000m) for Hong Kong, will take the place of Australian contender Vanquished who has withdrawn on veterinary grounds.

Vanquished was scratched from The BMW (Gr.1-2400m) in Sydney last Saturday with a knee injury and unfortunately will not recover in time to contest the Audemars Piguet QEII Cup on April 23.
