Hawwaam is doing well in Cape Town

STAR colt Hawwaam is in fine fettle for Saturday’s Gr2 Premier Trophy over 1800m at Kenilworth.

He arrived in Cape Town last week and is stabled at Milnerton in Mathew de Kock’s care.

Mathew commented: “He wasn’t intended to run this Saturday, it’s a new race on our radar but considering the cards we were dealt he’s taken everything very well and he’s enjoying Milnerton.

“We took him to Kenilworth for a gallop, he put up a good piece of work, he was relaxed and liked the track. So all the signs are there that he travelled well and looks good.

“Now, we go to Saturday’s race and we’re hoping it’s a good experience for him which will put him in a good space for the Queen’s Plate.”
