It was a privilege to judge this class as there are some very good birds here.
First place owned by A & C Drury (NSW) is an excellent, well proportioned, powerful body and we liked the relationship between body and type. It has good length, good balance Peter Glassenbury & Alan Baxter
First owned by J Leong (Victoria) is a strong bird who showed well and has a nice outline and good mask & feather.
Second owned by Sheppard A & Flanagan C Druery (Victoria) us a week proportioned bird very good hen, in top condition and very close to the first place but was penalised for a slight bump on the back of the neckNSW) is in good condition but down in spot but another strong bird.
Third owned by Glenn Schiller S Ramsden (NSWWA) is a powerful bird with good shoulder and type and a lovely face. Slight opalescence but unfortunately there is a gap between wing and tail.Fourth owned by T & S Appleton (Vic) is well balanced and powerful but not coming up to the quality of the three placed above it.another strong bird with plenty of feather length.
