Neat guide (5)
I believe the answer is:
steer
I believe this is a double definition.
'neat' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'guide' is the second definition.
('steer' can be a synonym of 'guide')
(Other definitions for steer that I've seen before include "Con" , "Drive - young ox" , "Cattle - drive" , "cow!" , "Exercise control" .)
