HAWK ATTACK Shows Staying Promise

Improving 4yo HAWK ATTACK ran a bold race before being nailed on the line in his first attempt at a middle distance Tues at Kilmore. Jockey Reece Wheeler felt the horse was never happy in the heavy ground so it was an encouraging effort and points to some staying potential. Just how far he goes remains to be seen.

Originally trained at W.Farm by Guy, HAWK ATTACK was sent south after failing to negotiate the turns going right handed in several trials. He appears to have found his niche in Victoria under Peter Morgan's guidance and has racked up a consistent record of 7 sts for 1-2-2.
