ELEGANT EXPLOSIVE (8) has run well in three of her last four runs. Has drawn well here and is a multiples must in this field. PRINCESS TERESA (9) she has never missed the top three here. Winning rider atop in this. Include her everywhere. EXPLOSIVE LASS (10) has not gone a poor race this time in. Is a course-proven mare and include her in all of your multiples.
