BBOTD - 4th of January 2014

11.50 Lingfield: Copperwood @ 6/1 Bet365 - 2 pts win

Copperwood seems to be in very good nick considering his latest impressive performances. He won well and with a bit of authority a seller at Lingfield on his first start over 10f which seems a distance to suit better now since he doesn't get any younger. That day he stayed on really well. He dropped in trip in his most recent start, back to 1m, when he got a really lenient and poorly judged ride from an inexperienced rider. He travelled still very strongly turning for home but had too much to do and the jockey was quite easy on him. He made some nice headway nonetheless and looked to have much more to give than the eventual result suggested. Now up in trip again, with a decent weight in this claimer and the jockey booked who gave him the winning ride two weeks ago, I think Copperwood has a cracking chance to win this contest.
