Saeed Bin Suroor won this last year with Sajjhaa, who went on to land the Dubai Duty Free. The stable is represented this time by Quick Wit, who doesn't look quite in that sort of class. But Godolphin also have the ex-French Vancouverite entered and Andre Fabre trained him to four victories last summer, all at 1m2f, before he found an extra quarter-mile too far at Longchamp. Trade Storm looked certain to appreciate an extra furlong when staying on behind Mshawish in a Group 2 here last week while L'Amour De Ma Vie won the Balanchine in fine style and with her mares' allowance has to be on the short-list. VERCINGETORIX, unbeaten in four starts in South Africa including a Group 1, was reportedly below his best before making his debut in a handicap last month but still had plenty in hand in beating Code Of Honor. This is a step up in grade but there's plenty more to come and he can continue his winning run. His stablemate Mushreq was a bit disappointing over a mile here last time but is better suited by today's trip.
