GOING: H

The Hassss Stakes Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 7)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.01).  

A slick tempo is assured with the potential of one or more first starters applying pressure to the recognised speedster Mafee. LOWLANDS (11) looks the one to beat. She ran well on debut at Geelong when well supported in betting, beaten just half a length over this trip. She'll be better for that experience and should be harder to hold out now. DIADAMO (3) is an Overshare gelding on debut for the Mick Kent yard. He's jumped out well and can measure up. BUZITUP (2) is a gelding by Danerich on debut. He's shown enough at the jump outs to be competitive. MONTROCK (6) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lowlands to win.
