From the wide gate Belistic Man should cross and lead. SMOKIN' DE QUO (16) is first-up here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough to play a major role in this. Winning hoop Wheeler sticks in the irons and can return in fine fashion with any luck from the sticky draw. KEEPMEINTHELOPE (17) has only missed the top-four once in six career outings and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Rates a leading contender. BILLIONAIR BABY (1) was a forgive run last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smokin' De Quo to return a winner.
