Trainer Steven Reid has come up with a simple plan to win tonight’s $110,000 Caduceus Club Classsic with Coastal Babe as Group 1 racing returns to Alexandra Park.

“I am going to give Matty (White, driver) the reins and tell him to do whatever he wants,” says Reid.

While that might sound a little vague heading into the first huge race of the juvenile fillies pacing season, Reid says it is too early in Coastal Babe’s career for her to have a definitive racing style or know where she sits in the fillies pecking order.
