Horses trained by David Hayes dominate Australian nominations for the Hong Kong international raceday.

Hayes has seven entries across the four international races - the Hong Kong Sprint, the Hong Kong Mile, the Hong Kong Cup and the Hong Kong Vase.

His nominations include Jet Away, the import who will try to secure a Melbourne Cup start when he runs in the Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington on Saturday.

Sydney trainer Gai Waterhouse has entered Tres Blue and Julienas for the Vase.

Irish St Leger winner Voleuse De Couers, set to make her Australian debut for Mike Moroney in the Melbourne Cup, is also a Vase entry.

South Australian trainer Jake Stephens is hoping to return to Hong Kong with Gris Caro after his retired warhorse Alcopop ran third in last year's Cup.

The Sprint and Mile are on the end-of-year radar for Stradbroke Handicap winner Linton and the Sydney-trained Aeronautical.

Sixty-eight Group One winners are among the 241 horses entered for the international day of racing at Sha Tin on December 8.
