Verdict

RING AHOY (1) working himself into form in stronger races and back in class today. Strong through the line when fourth over 1 ³/16m at Armidale in BM74 class. Will relish the 7lbs claim and expected to go close. FULMEN FILOU (8) rewarded for his consistency with a slick win over 1 ³/16m at Armidale in easier class. Gets map favours with regular rider jumping back on. Sure to be thereabouts. EJECT (9) gives the impression he's looking for this distance range now after doing his best work late when fourth over 1m at Scone. Big weight drop and can stalk the speed. Must respect. SOUTHERLY BUSTER (2) put the writing on the wall with an improved showing for second last start and should be close to peaking.
