It's hard to know what to make of Sociologa Inc, a Group 1 winner in Argentina, but plenty of her type have done well here in the past. Mike De Kock has three of the seven entries but this looks a question of whether VERCINGETORIX is fit and ready, as he was when returning from a break to land a handicap a year ago. He then went on to win the Group 1 Jebel Hatta before superb runs in the Dubai Duty Free and Audemar Piguet at Sha Tin. There's nothing here with that sort of CV though True Story is certain to come in for major support after his very impressive victory in a Listed contest three weeks ago and he's probably still on the upgrade. The selection's stablemate Sanshaawes can get closer to the Godolphin runner as he will have needed the outing when beaten 4l by him last time. Army Bulletin won a Listed contest in France in April and was placed in Group company later so he's no forlorn hope on his first start for his new handler.
