Back On De Quo should lead at a strong tempo. DANCE GAVIN DANCE (1) recorded two comfortable wins over today's course and distance then was thrown in the deep end in the Group 3 Gold Coast Guineas last start and failed. Back in a more suitable race today and can return to winning ways. DEEP STEALTH (6) caught the eye when fresh from a spell over this trip at Port Macquarie last time out, making up many lengths to be beaten narrowly. Loves racing here and has placed at both second-up runs. Hard to fault the profile. BACK ON DE QUO (3) is a track specialist coming off an eight-week freshen-up. Must be considered carefully along with GOT THE SMARTS (9) who strips fitter second-up and is not out of calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Dance Gavin Dance.
