Anyone like Mic Mac for the 10,000?

I'm thinking back to Apache Cat's prep a few years ago and I'm thinking Eurell would have had this carnival as the main goal before he was forced to hand the reins over to Messara.

Thoughts?

Mic Mac no real wet track form
That has to be a worry if worse than dead on race-day

Fair Point Sands,though has won 6 from 7 on dead tracks and ran a 1.3 length 5th on a slow track to Danleigh in the G1 Manikato, so I'm reasonably confident he'll handle it.

Personally I'm more concerned with current form and class.
