HELMUTT (8) is a highly talented chaser who can handle this draw. She has missed the place just once in 12 starts and looks mighty hard to beat tonight. SMOKEY DESIRE (2) is a quick beginner who could prove hard to run down. WEST ON ABBA (6) led for a long way over longer last week while THEO GUNDI (3) looms as a knockout hope at odds.
