CHRISTMAS STAR (10) finished third, beaten 0.7 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Orange. This is the right race and can get the job done. CHENTILEENO (1) last appeared when he failed to finish on September 21 at Wagga. Rates highly and should take some beating. CAMMI (5) improved last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 7f at this track after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PRIZED ALWYNS (8) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Kembla Grange. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
