Trained by John Size, Beauty Eternal started a hot favourite in the recent Hong Kong Derby, but came up marginally short when beaten half a length into third place after posting three successive wins.

Sent out favourite for the 1400m Class 2 event on Sunday, Beauty Eternal charged to the line late for Zac Purton to snatch a last stride win taking his overall record to five wins ad two placings from seven starts.
