    Verdict

    MAKING MIRACLES (NAP) looked sure to win a competitive handicap at York last week when hitting the front inside the final furlong but he couldn’t quite hold the late rally of stablemate and market rival Baghdad. The step up in trip that day clearly suited and, as he races off the same mark, Mark Johnston’s gelding can finally open his account. Mt Augustus went close on his final start last year and his dam stayed 1m4f so he rates a danger. Dubai Empire was third over track and trip last month and will strip fitter today but Dawn Dancer is starting to look a little exposed.
