Detonator Jack (barrier 15) is prepared by the powerful Maher & Eustace stable, who trained 2021 South Australian Derby winner Explosive Jack and this son of Jakkalberry remained unbeaten with an impressive Sandown victory on April 18.
Damien Oliver sticks with Alegron (barrier 3), who has placed three times at Group One level, which includes a third to Hitotsu in the Australian Derby on April 2.
The Godolphin gelding bounced back to the winner's stall last start when taking out the VRC St Leger at Flemington.
Jungle Magnate (barrier 12) defeated local hope Harleymoven (barrier 11) in the Group Three Chairman's Stakes, which is one of the main lead-up races for the South Australian Derby.
Saint Tropez (barrier 17), Phere The Ex (barrier 6), Teewaters (barrier 1) and Son Of Emperor (barrier 19) also come out of that April 30 affair.
Commander Harry (barrier 8) arrives off consecutive placings behind Jungle Magnate and Detonator Jack, while he was runner-up last spring in the Moonne Valley Vase.
This gelding is prepared by Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young, who trained Glint Of Hope to win the Australasian Oaks, which was the first Group One winner of this year's Adelaide Carnival.
16 runners (plus four emergencies) make up the final field for the 2022 South Australian Derby.
