Boredom Beater Phantom Race

The Yanks are keen on the "Phantom Race" caper and given they have zero racing, it has reappeared again. Decades ago, they put together a phantom "best of the decade" field from the 60's, allocated barriers and r\"ran" the race. The winner was the unrivaled Cardigan Bay.
They have now just produced a best filed covering the 20 years since 2000, a slightly wider canvassing of their champs.
Field in Barrier Order was:
1 Real Desire
2 Somebeachsomewhere
3 Captain Treacherous
4 McWicked
5 Lather Up
6. Always Be Miki
7 Wiggle It Jiggle It
8 Rocknroll Hanover
9 Sweet Lou
10 Bettors Delight
They even allocate drivers taking into account what they might do and "run" the race with a description of how it may pan out. (I tell you, they do take their phantom racing seriously). You will be pleased to know Always Be Miki won by a nose from Somebeachsomewhere, Real Desire lead up and hung on for 3rd just ahead Captain Treacherous, Lather Up, Rocknroll Hanover, Bettors Delight, Wiggle It Jiggle It with McWicked and Sweet Lou filling the last two spots having dropped out of the ficticious early speed battle. They even determine a time, a rather slick 1.45.4.
Soooo, drawing a long straw, here is the field in barrier draw order for Western Australia's best horses of the last 20 years that have competed in a WA Pacing Cup, to run over 2550m at GP.
1. Mysta Magical Mach
2 David Hercules
3 Saab
4 Chicago Bull
5 Lombo Rapida
6 Soho Tribeca
7 Beaudienne Boaz
8 I'm The Mightyquinn
9 Baltic Eagle
10 Flashing Red
11 Washakie
12The Falcon Strike
Market please Chariots? Results to follow after all bets are down? A bit of fun or a really crap idea and go buy some paint and brushes JJ?
