Expecting a solid pace with Blondie's Secret, War Council and Diamond Lucy leading the charge. DIAMOND LUCY (6) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1250m at Cairns. Finds a suitable race and stripping fitter third up has the talent to find the winners' list. BLONDIE'S SECRET (7) is a consistent mare who has been in the money in more than half of her races. Good effort when third last start at Innisfail over 900m. Include. WAR COUNCIL (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a nose away in second over 1470m at Bowen. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BUBBLES'N'FROTH (1) lines up on the back of a 1.75 lengths fourth over 1200m at Mackay. Fitter and must be included. Keep an eye on the betting with WICKED GAMES (3) fresh for a new stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,7,2.
