“I will then go up and ride him in the Final,” a confident Pracey-Holmes said.
“I think he will just win on Saturday and then I will wait for the Country Cups and then we will go up there and have a crack at them.
“You never know with races and trips away like this, doors may open for me and my riding.
“You need to be at the right place at the right time. I reckon he will beat them on Saturday.”
The Country Cups Challenge Final is worth $200,000 and is run over 1600 metres at Doomben on November 30.
The CCC heat on Saturday also doubles as the feature Emerald 100.
Pracey-Holmes has done some riding in the Sunshine State during his career but trips north have been rare.
He has floated around South East Queensland a few times as well as the recent Cannon Park adventure.
But, he will be heading to the non-TAB grass surface of Emerald for the first time this week.
Carolan has owned the galloper during his previous stops with trainers Luke Morgan and Garry Lunn, which started the connection with Pracey-Holmes.
He owns the horse alongside former trainer Morgan, who is based at Tamworth.
