Run For Revelry my second choice.

It is a fair call WP at the prices but that defeat was on turf and even with the swing in weights I much prefer TT on the sand. Mootahadee "interesting" down in trip but as Bob hints and Mr H states, back at this trip on sand then Anger looks the real danger to me (shame the 25/1 predicted by Winning Form never materialised lol)

Let's look at the facts - Mogok's Desire has won once on the sand and has not won for - well let's just a say a long time - I'll be very surprised if he places today. Anger won a MR 80 handicap over this 1000 in July - then was bumped up to 91 after 2 wins at Flamingo. He then duly won the August Stakes in a race where everything went his way (imo) and got another 10 points for beating Isobar - no direct winners from 12 runners out of that race - so for me Anger is maybe a 93 at best - I think the best he can hope for today is a place

Guess I'm setting myself up for that yellow stuff [/quote

Very valid points gents, must agree on all of the above. I just thought a decent 3rd to Doing it for Dan carrying 60.5 kgs last time out was decent, and third run back a very credible 4th 6.00 lengths behind Carry on Alice, will probably need a lot of luck to win but with 47,5 kgs i just can't bypass that price.
