GOING: S(6)

FURPHY MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Good early pressure with Blazing Beverley and Upskill to vie for the lead. KULKYNE (8) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fifth after being prominent at the corner at her last appearance at Werribee on June 1. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. SUPIDO STORM (6) raced once in the maiden preparation when finishing rearward at Albury on February 18. Capable of sharp improvement. ASPEN BOULEVARD (9) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Gayna Williams barn. Rates highly on best figures and is right in the mix. BLAZING BEVERLEY (7) returns for the smart Nick Olive stable and is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kulkyne each-way.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, second last of 10 at Wellington Mdn on May 30 over 900m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Desirous carrying 57kg at $101. Last start 5th of 9 at Gulgong Mdn-Sw on June 9 over 1000m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Al's Rose carrying 57.5kg at $13. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
