Verdict
Hassaya did nothing wrong in her two juvenile starts on Polytrack and will be much better suited by this track and trip. Queens Visit was always in the firing-line on her debut over 1m1f at Cork and will have benefited from the experience, a remark that also applies to QUICK GLIMPSE after her opening run, also at Cork. Dermot Weld's Galileo filly appeared to find the 1m4f on soft ground just too much to handle but this can prove exactly what's required.
