Huge performance by Copperwood on Saturday. He finished 2nd, just beaten close to the line by a better horse on the day. Unfortunate, but I feel this was a good start into the new year. Copperwood good a really good ride, considering the way the race panned out. He looked to win it 1f out but then Ocean Applause simple found another gear when it mattered.
14.10 Wolverhampton: Lastkingofscotland @7/2 Bet365 - 4pts win
I thought Lastkingofscotland ran with more credit in a claimer over 6f last time out than the bare result might suggest. He had the widest draw to overcome that day and settled in rear where is was a bit rough though. He switched to the inside before turning for home while not getting a hundred percent clear run there. He probably hasn't quite the speed for this trip anymore these days but he was also never really asked for a serious effort in that particular, yet he kept going when room was there. That shows he is in good nick, following two nice performances in December. Now back in a Handicap, he can race off a career lowest mark. This race is a pretty poor one, and he looks the standout candidate for me, with conditions in favour, back over 7f now.
