A hot tempo is expected with plenty of speed engaged. BEEN A SECRET (4) finished fifth two runs back at Rockhampton then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1070m at Chinchilla. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. DARK GLEAM (6) led to the turn over 1300m at Mackay last time out but faded to finish eighth. Good record at this journey with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts and is one of the contenders. DAIMYO (1) is back after a break of nine months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1100m at Mackay. Sure to make his presence felt. IMAGINE THAT (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 11 lengths away in 11th over 1200m at Emerald. Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins. Has her share of ability and will prove hard to beat in this suitable race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Been A Secret to win again.
