Striking Copper is a 5YO gelding completely sound and good in the wind.
Lightly raced he is a winner in Hobart transferred to Victoria to see if he could stretch out to run over a trip. He was very competitive in Australia's best racing states earlier in his preparations over 1100m - 1200m but found staying beyond him as he came up in distance.
Overall he has had seven starts at distances 1200m and below and has only finished outside the first four on one occasion. Handles softer ground so may well be suited to a return to Tasmania or to tropical areas.
His pedigree is packed with sprinters with multiple wins to their name and given the right opportunity Striking Copper should join them. With a rating of 54 there is still plenty of potential for him to pick up prize money coming through the grades.
