CHANDON STAR (8) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 5½f at Gilgandra, scoring by 1. 5 lengths. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. KRANICH (3) has not appeared since he saluted over 6½f at Rosehill on August 16. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. NIGHT FIGHTER (5) is going well, scoring by 0. 9 lengths two runs back at this track before finishing fourth last time over 7f at Inverell. Reunites with Jenny Duggan who has two wins when on board. Expected to measure up. ZAMBORGHINI (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 1 when beaten 5. 5 lengths into 13th at Inverell over 7f. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is likely to play a big role.
