Compton Crofter to offer a lot in Tersus Laundry Equipment Handicap at Lingfield
There is a slight possibility that Compton Crofter would have been flattered by his latest Brighton win, but still it is hard to look elsewhere for the winner. The 3-year-old has a comprehensive victory under his belt – a thing all of his rivals are deprived
of.
So, Hans Adielsson’s charge seems to be the safest option in the Tersus Laundry Equipment Handicap, going down at Lingfield on Thursday, August 30, 2012. On good to firm, 13 contestants, including Compton Crofter, will run for a cash prize of £1,704. A nail-biting
clash is on the cards, as every horse is desperate for success. The 1-mile 2-furlong meeting will be started off at 14:30 GMT.
Despite the fact that Compton Crofter is the only one with a win to his credit, he cannot afford to take things lightly. His maiden victory was not a cosy one, as he had to put in a lot of effort to get the better of the opposition last time.
The son of Sleeping Indian was surely short of confidence after suffering a few awful defeats. His misery seemed to continue, when he failed to make an impressive start in the Thermolast Roofing And Grandstand Solutions Handicap at Brighton last week.
Despite an early shock, the Erik Penser-owned did not lose determination, and impressed everyone by making a strong finish. His late surge helped him take lead in the dying moment and as a result, the 28-1 chance notched up the first rank by half a length.
His performance was solid enough to believe that there is a lot more to come from his side. The only thing he needs is not to be complacent.
According to our calculations, Joyful Spirit is the biggest threat to Compton Crofter. The John Dunlop-trained was quite decent on her previous visit here last month, when finishing third behind Eightfold. An equally good show can make her a major player
in today’s race.
Nevertheless, it is hard to overlook Compton Crofter, whose one hundred percent effort will be enough to grab the glory. We wish the best of luck to all the runners.
