Up-and-coming four-year-old BEAUTY ETERNAL can get back to his winning ways when he returns to Sha Tin in the Class 3 1200m Handicap at Sha Tin on New Year’s Day.
BEAUTY ETERNAL created a huge impression after a smart debut win in early October, racing very wide and without cover from the 900m but still proving too good for his Class 4 rivals as he drew clear by two lengths. Straight up into Class 3, the John Size trainee was sent off a $1.5 chance by punters, but he had excuses as he was checked and stumbled at the top of the straight. BEAUTY ETERNAL began to close off strongly thereafter but was badly held up from the 100m and was unable to be properly tested.
He was beaten just a neck into third that day but obviously should have bolted up. With seemingly plenty more to come, BEAUTY ETERNAL looks primed for a big first-up run.
