I haven't got the latest YSHT charts, but from the ones I have, why wouldn't you just go straight into the approach? 2 minutes out plus the turn back in to lose 1000 feet (from 2800 10MSA to 1800 till established inbound) isn't exactly difficult to achieve.
I'd be maneuvering to make a direct entry, planning descent to arrive over the top a bit over 3000 and keeping a constant descent right through.
