Coastal Strike has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. DESIGNER DREAMER (1) has been racing in great form and looks hard to beat again. Half-length winner here latest after tracking the speed and looks tough to stop again. QUAFFTIDE (8) is also going well. Hit the line hard to win a Class 1 here two back then found the line strongly for third latest. Blinkers added and leading player again. MONTEZULU (2) was a fast finishing second over a mile two back then stepped up to 2000m latest and was well off best. Comes back to 1600m this time and is well worth another try. COASTAL STRIKE (6) led and was run down last time finishing fourth in the same race as Quafftide. Can give a sight again. HIGH TAIL EAGLE (7) wasn't far away in the latest and worth thought off the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Designer Dreamer.
