Solid tempo headed by Smokin' De Quo and The Khan. CRIMSON SPIRIT (11) improved sharply at her second run back when a dominant maiden winner over 1540m at the Gold Coast Poly on March 29. Expected to go on with it now over this trip with the claim. PRIDE OF SAVABELLA (12) looking for this journey fourth up after rattling late when third over 1400m at Rockhampton. Distance suits and gets in light with the 3kg claim. Will be attacking the line late. KALKANLI (4) will find this more to his liking after tackling city class when a wilting sixth over 1800m at Eagle Farm. Assess on his good win two back in this weaker contest. SMOKIN' DE QUO (13) almost six weeks between runs when a tiring fifth over 1700m at Grafton last time out. Fitter now and expected to take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crimson Spirit to win.
