On the 19th, Danon the Kid worked up the incline track for his upcoming target, the Queen Elizabeth II Cup on 30th at Sha Tin racecourse. Focussed on maintaining a steady rhythm, he marked a time of 56.0 seconds for 4 furlongs (800m), with splits of 40.3 seconds for 3 furlongs (600m) and 12.3 seconds for the final furlong (200m).

Assistant trainer Yasuda said, "We decided on this workout based on his condition as soon as he came down from the stall. With this horse, it's more important to stabilize him mentally than to focus on his workout. I think he looked good today. Usually, he gets worked up and sweats a lot during training, but that wasn't too noticeable today," indicating that his training is going well.
