Verdict

TOWN'S HISTORY drops back in distance for this but should have no trouble dispatching the opposition. The Godolphin colt found only Mariee, due to run in the previous race on the card, too good here last time and the latter has subsequently won again. Phantom Flipper looks the only real threat having changed handlers after finishing runner-up over track and trip last time with the remaining pair hard to recommend on what little they have shown so far.
