Shrewd to have statue recast (6)
I believe the answer is:
astute
'shrewd to have' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'statue recast' is the wordplay.
'recast' indicates anagramming the letters.
'statue' anagrammed gives 'ASTUTE'.
(Other definitions for astute that I've seen before include "Shrewd and clever" , "intelligent" , "Wide" , "Clever and perceptive" , "on the ball" .)
