I think he can be beaten and I believe the one to do it is Cooptado.
I fancy Surfer to give African Story a race.

He was my 2nd choice. I think, on a line through Zambucca, I think Cooptado will beat him

In the African Story race you cant discard Haatheq. I know its 28/1 but with Hanagan riding and its 2nd outing this season you have to give it a chance. Forecast will be African Story, Surfer and Haatheq box

On ratings obviously African Story has this race at his mercy but I just cannot be confident with him on Dirt. If he doesn't get handy, he is cooked.
You need horses like Surfer and Cooptado who has won on the surface and know what it takes to win.
Include my selection

I have just gone back to have a look and LE BERNARDIN is staring at me. Won a couple of weeks ago. Difficult race after your post re African Story stats Chris

In the next Star Empire will definitely stay and will either win or finish 2nd. Famous Kid could be the one that beats Star Empire.

Dissappointing run by Star Empire. Famous Kid had lots in hand coming into the straight and you could see that as the winner then already

True bob but that pace was just diabolical. Was almost as slow as the J&B Jet stayers on Saturday

Saeed Bin Suroor does not think that African Story can win. He thinks Prince Bishop has the best chance out of his stable
