Great to get Copper’s head back in front after a blank 2022, a real battler, Joanna got him in a great postion tracking the leader and saw off the opposition in a three way finish.

“COPPER AND FIVE, well handicapped on his 2021 form, found plenty to prevail in a driving finish. With so many horses in contention this looks ordinary form but he may progress now that he has regained the winning thread.”
