Gammons don't really do anything for us at this score, so it's a lot like DMP.
The double hit has some allure in that it knocks her off balance, but the race is more important at DMP than it usually is, and risking 24 pips for little racing advantage seems ill advised. I'm opting for the prosaic lover's leap, but 13/7* 13/8 looks viable too.
I have no idea what you mean :dry:

I'm assuming that the wack wack move is not 13-7*, 5-1* but 13-7*, 6-1*! Anyway, the double hit surely has to be correct.
