Furdy

What makes Furdy's situation a little harder to read is the gaps in the recent form. Two of the last three runs are marked as incomplete, which can mean anything from a late withdrawal to a race that was abandoned — so it is difficult to know exactly what the horse has faced or how it has handled itself on those days. The one concrete data point is that tenth-place finish, which tells us Furdy is racing but not yet finding a way to compete at the sharp end.

Trainer Tina Jackson has sent out nine winners this season from an undisclosed yard, which shows there is ability in the team to get horses winning. Furdy raced just one day ago, so it is very much in active campaigning, and Jackson will be looking for conditions and a race that suit the horse better. At four years old, there is still time to find the right opportunity — but right now, Furdy needs something to go its way.
