Rocky Blonde should lead at a slick tempo. DO WHAT I SAY (9) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1200m at Warwick after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. EXOSTOVA (3) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when eighth over this journey at Toowoomba. Suitably placed in this contest so anticipating a much better run this time. LUKEY BLUE (11) is one from one over this track and trip and maps ideally for this from gate two. Top-three aspirations. ROCKY BLONDE (7) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1000m at Jandowae after being in the firing line all the way. Steps up a level but she is capable of running a bold race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Do What I Say.
