David Eustace has Light Years Charm “ready to go” for next week’s Group Three Celebration Cup (1,400m) after the progressive galloper comfortably won a dirt trial on Tuesday.
An impressive winner of four Sha Tin races in his first Hong Kong season, the Australian import warmed up for his return with a narrow victory under Zac Purton in a 1,200m trial.
“I was happy with his trial. The track was rain-affected, but I thought he got through it well,” Eustace said.
“Zac knows him extremely well, he was happy with him and he actually jumped good today. He got into a more forward position, so that’s pleasing that we might have that option at some stage down the track.
