Seeking My Dream Trophy too easy for Mahogany

MAHOGANY WAS rallying under a hand ride along the rail in the Lady Geeta a month ago when DESERT OF MALIBU bumped him off stride, triggering a disqualification, which benefitted A GIFT FROM BEN, who closed into second place for his first grade-one victory by default.

Reporting off a near four-month break, MAHOGANY carried topweight 126lb, allowing DESERT OF MALIBU eight pounds, in an admirable display against a foreigner whose record was blemished by a second disqualification, following her number being taken down on Mouttet Mile Day last December.

Presented with a gift in Saturday’s Seeking My Dream Trophy, racing a class lower at seven and a half furlongs, MAHOGANY’s terrifying speed should put the condition book to shame for allowing last year’s Gold Cup runner-up among open-allowance company.

MAMMA MIA should be the only company for MAHOGANY on the lead in the six-horse field. Guineas and Oaks winner of last year, MAMMA MIA beat overnight-allowance runners on her third try, making all at seven and a half furlongs on March 30, form franked by runner-up GET A PEPSI in the Temperence Oaks on April 28.

Though she ran the race of her life, leading the Mouttet Mile for six furlongs, running the speedsters off their legs, MAMMA MIA was in receipt of 16lb from MAHOGANY. After the Mouttet Mile, MAMMA MIA failed to finish the Ian Levy a month later and hasn’t been the same since her brave attempt, which was thwarted by ROUGH ENTRY.

MAMMA MIA will try going all the way but will be outstayed by MAHOGANY, who absolutely loves running out the mile chute, flirting with track records during his prime.
