Verdict

Perceived beat Robben over a mile here on his final start of 2014 and should stay further this year. Diatomic could run well off a low weight while Peace Prize and Sampera are the types to do better now going handicapping. Noro Lim only won a maiden auction at Lingfield in December but it will be a surprise if his shrewd trainer can't find a race for him on Turf this season. YORKIDDING is well bred and was an expensive purchase. She was quite highly tried after winning her maiden at Hamilton in August and can take advantage of this drop in grade over a trip that should suit.
