Strong tempo with Coastal Strike and Purr Sefanee leading from Ozturk and Respite. RESPITE (3) is in form and worth following up. Building a good record here, winning here two back before a close-up sixth beaten two lengths last time off a wide draw. Freshened and has trialled since. Well worth another chance. AZONTO (1) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by 0.8 lengths over 1350m at this track last time out. Winning hope again here. COASTAL STRIKE (2) is racing well on the turf at Hobart but placed only try course and distance, which was three back when tried to lead throughout. Expected to take running down. AL MAXIMUS (4) is on the quick back-up and well back in trip. Has a solid record here and with the claim can improve sharply. PURR SEFANEE (6) has ability and is a solid top-three hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Respite.
