        Verdict

        Diamond Reflection has only raced six times on the Flat and a recent placed effort over a longer trip here suggests there is more to come off today’s mark. But RAKEMATIZ won on the Turf course here last summer and was narrowly beaten on this surface at the end of last month. He gets the nod off his current mark. Noreena may do better stepping up in distance today only her second start handicapping but the likes of Gracious George and Topmeup have failed to build on earlier placed efforts. Galinthias won off a much higher mark last year and could also figure.
