MOONLIGHT MIRAGE has a difficult draw to work from but there was enough promise in her debut fourth at Newbury 3 weeks ago to think she can find improvement and she earns the vote. Country Artiste and Westend Music are others to consider, with Yellow Diamonds another to consider on debut for Kevin Philippart de Foy.
