Light Years Charm continued his march up the ratings and trainer David Eustace’s impressive first Hong Kong campaign kept rolling during the season’s first twilight meeting at Sha Tin on Sunday.
Chasing back-to-back victories on Class Two debut, Light Years Charm was sent off the $1.7 favourite for the Lee On Handicap (1,400m), but there were a few nervous moments for his supporters and connections.
Not known for being the quickest away, Light Years Charm found himself detached from the field after being squeezed between horses early.
Still last turning for home but looming ominously, Light Years Charm barrelled home down the outside under Zac Purton to salute by a length and a half eased down.
