EL EXPLOSIVO (2) has found the maiden win elusive but it certainly hasn't been without trying. Has run well at this venue and strips rock-hard fit. Ready to shed the tag. THE WIRRULLA BOY (6) chased gamely into the placings on debut here 16 days ago. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt and should be very competitive. STRASBEAU (5) returns. Wasn't too far away when resuming last campaign at Balaklava. In the mix off that performance. LITTLE PRINCESS (8) has struggled to threaten of late but had been ticking along much better earlier in the prep. Giving her one last chance.
