Trainer Comments:
De Kock’s advice? “Just put a line through the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate. Things did not go his way.”
Jockey Comments:
Hawwaam is still the first horse jockey Anton Marcus would choose to ride in the Sun Met.
“The L’Ormarins Queens Plate was not a reflection of his true ability. He remains my number 1 choice as a Sun Met ride,” said Marcus, who had enjoyed a scintillating winning partnership with the son of Silvano.
“There were issues with equipment with a few horses. Nothing went right at all. But put a line through this effort. Don’t write Hawaam off for the Sun Met!” he added.
Winning Form – Magic Tips Comment:
Unbeaten in 2 starts this dist. Things didn’t go his way last time. Suited to this distance.
Verdict: Coming soon.
