Carter Mackay represents a yard that know exactly what it takes to land this. It is interesting that the yard are not represented in the same numbers as previous runnings and that could signify the confidence they have in his ability. His trainer was thrilled with his latest victory and he is a worthy market leader. He lacks experience in a field of this size and preference is for SOMEDAY. He looked the likely winner a long way out last time but almost threw the race away when he caught sight of a giant TV screen. He displayed a high cruising speed in a race run at a good pace and they are tools you need for this. He possesses plenty of room for further improvement and there has been significant support for him. Western Ryder looks the pick of the home team judged on his latest effort behind a smart horse. That represents solid form in a race where there are a lot of potential improvers.
