I'm not sure is this question is entirely fair. Although the answer would be the most accepted one, "have one more go" is almost an idiom since go wouldn't be used in place of try except i n the instance of saying something like the phrase above. Maybe I'm answering out of context, is that a test on somewhat improper but commonly used English phrases?

Jerome, it is the most regularly used form in England.

Have a go = Make an attempt.
