Furphy Sprint 2024 Preview
Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy
Another tough rate to sort. Sans Doute is on track for a win and finds the right race. Pondalowie has been consistent this prep and is going well. A Little Deep maps for a lovely run and deserves a win. It seems win or bust for Pharari who is up to these. Isthmus is lightly raced and goes in the mix. Kin has the finale to win and the chances do not by any means end there.
2024 Furphy Sprint Runner by Runner
1. Facile (13)
Can’t have.
2. Vagrant (16)
Prefer others.
3. Sans Doute (9)
Tracking well this prep and finds a suitable race. Barrier 9 makes it tricky but J-Mac rides and form is good enough.
4. Lempicka (6)
Can’t have.
5. A Little Deep (3)
Ultra consistent this prep and comes up with a plum draw. Will take beating with a handy set up here.
6. Wild Belle (12)
Can’t have.
7. Infancy (15)
Good enough to win this on form. The map poses and issue.
8. Dashing Legend (10)
Can’t have.
9. Kin (18)
Well backed fresh and it was a commendable effort. Worth thought and can find the furthest side of the track and let rip.
10. Cigar Flick (5)
Can’t have.
11. Kundalini (2)
Good upside but faces a decent field. Can win but prefer others.
12. Danny’s St Darci (4)
Can’t have.
13. Wanda Rox (17)
This looks too tough.
14. Scuderia (11)
Prefer others.
15. Pharari (14)
Hit and miss but tends to be more hit. A lot to like about the last start win and looks ready for this test.
16. Kiko (7)
Can’t have.
17. Isthmus (8)
Good upside and racing well this prep. Worth thought in a very even race.
18. Extremely Rowdy (1)
Can’t have.
19. Pondalowie (19)
Efforts have been good this prep in some handy effort form races. Drawn to find the outside and can give this a shake. Deserves to be in the pointy end of the market.
