A week after thinking Copy That couldn't overcome a 55m handicap at Alexandra Park, trainer Ray Green is now more confident he can win from a staggering 70m behind at Cambridge tonight.
The defending New Zealand Cup champion finds himself in the position of being favourite to win at Addington on November 8 after his massive win last Friday, while plenty of the other big names had form or manners issues in the Flying Stakes at Ashburton on Monday.
That is three weeks after Copy That had a minor post-race bleed after a race at Melton and the wheels looked like they might be falling off his Cup defence.
"It can be a fickle game, racing," joked Green about the turnaround.
"A few didn't go good on Monday and our fella was so good last week we're flavour of the month again."
