Verdict
Fleeting Moon is given the vote in this Maiden Stakes with Vanilla Moon and Make My Hay offered up as the main dangers. The selection was a game second last time behind Two Of A Kind on this track, and as she is still open to plenty of improvement, it will be major surprise if she fails to confirm that superiority over her rival. Vanilla Moon hails from the in-form John Jenkins yard and was a decent second last time behind Itsonlyagame. She does look a little exposed but this does not look a difficult race so she should be capable of claiming some place money. Make My Hay was third in a similar contest last time at Southwell behind Madiba so will have to improve to trouble the principles, so we will stick with Fleeting Moon as our selection.
