MISS MIRABEAU was doing her best work at the finish when fourth over 5f here on her recent debut with Beach Dancer behind. She’ll appreciate this extra furlong on that evidence and gets plenty of weight from the older Cold Fire. The latter made a belated debut over 6f at Kempton a fortnight ago but Daring Guest has not raced since September when fourth in a handicap. Allegheny Bay drops back in distance having shown no improvement over longer trips on his last three outings.
