Tycoon Charger is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. RING AHOY (1) working himself into form in stronger races and back in class today. Strong through the line when fourth over 1900m at Armidale in BM74 class. Will relish the 3kg claim and expected to go close. SO YOU READY (6) has needed the two runs back at the Provincials and steps up to his right trip in this weaker company. Lone victory came at this trip and set to improve quickly. FULMEN FILOU (8) rewarded for his consistency with a slick win over 1900m 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 1600m at Scone. Big weight drop and can stalk the speed. Must respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ring Ahoy finds a winnable contest.
