      Verdict

      Commandment gets the confident vote in this maiden with Expedience and Indiannie Moon rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Hazy Days last time out. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Expedience rates the main danger on his latest sixth behind Grand Vizier. This looks easier and he should be watched in the market but the drop in trip has to be of concern. Indiannie Moon is a Fraam filly from a top yard and should be watched in the market as she will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Commandment.
