EXPLODE (2) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths over 1200m at Riverton. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. DE RUSSIAN ROCKET (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1200m at Ascot Park after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. KYBOSHE (10) is resuming from a spell of seven months and having her first run for the Stephanie Faulkner yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Waverley over 1200m. Can make her presence felt. RED STAR BELLA (7) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Gore 11 weeks ago. One of the contenders.
