Anton Marcus vs Other jocks riding favourites

Let me start off by saying Marcus is a great jockey.....before anyone takes me the wrong way.

I dont know the exact percentage but let's say Marcus has a 35% strike rate on favourites.

Is there any current jocks that you think can better this by riding all the favourites and cherry picking their rides?

The problem is that two thirds of his rides these days are priced up favourite- half of them do not justify favourtism on form. Yet he still manages to win on about a third of those. Very few other jocks have a better strike rate on favourites. His strike rate this season is the highest in the country at 30% of rides.
