Hawaafez picking up form for the Grosvenor Casinos Cumberland Lodge Stakes
Ending fourth in the last race after striking a back-to-back, is the four-year-old bay filly, Hawaafez. Her connections have selected for her the Group 3 Grosvenor Casinos Cumberland Lodge Stakes on Saturday, 6th October, 2012 at Ascot race course over a mile and four furlongs. It is being expected that the 4 to 1 entry will find the track distance for today’s race favourable.
Her record for the last three races is almost identical to, Camborne, who also struck a disaster just when it was time to post a hat-trick on the profile.
The Marcus Tregoning trained was impressive in the E B F “Archipenko” Fillies Handicap on 28th October, 2011 at Newmarket race course over a mile and four furlongs.
The favourite entry made the most of the guidance of jockey, Richard Hills, as the two side lined, Moment Of Time, by seven lengths.
The beginning of the 2012 season was on the same lines as the closing of the previous season.
She won the seasonal debut on 19th May, 2012 in the JLT Aston Park Stakes (Listed Race) at Newbury race course over a mile and 5 ½ furlongs.
Coupled up with jockey, Kieran O’Neill, the four-year-old sailed in for the wire after exiting the second trap. He was quick to pick up lead, made progress when there were last five furlongs to go. She over threw the challenge tossed her way two furlongs out, and then took maximum advantage of the lead inside the final furlong, defeating Meganisi, by four lengths.
The success in the handicap and the listed race did not aid her performance in the Group 3 Ishares Fillies’ Stakes on 2nd August, 2012 at Goodwood race course a mile and six furlongs.
Nayef’s daughter ended fourth with jockey, Paul Hanagan, riding, while the race was won by Sir Henry Cecil trained, Wild Coco.
Settling as the runner-up after missing the race by 2 ¾ lengths was, Jehannedarc.
The four-year-old bay filly will race from the third gate in partnership with jockey, Johnny Murtagh, while the arch rival, Camborne, will race in the highly capable hands of jockey, Eddie Ahern.
