Verdict

High Command,Hill of Howth and Stratham look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the nomination is given to High Command. The selection is a well bred Galileo colt, half-brother to numerous winners ands he will not need to be anything special to win this moderate maiden on his debut. Hill Of Howth rates the main danger on his latest second behind Marcus Andronicus but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and for that reason he is opposed. Stratham is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Royal Engineer but he is another that has given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip. Of the remainder Brenda Meova is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but she has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to High Command.
