HANDY FRIEND (5) looked good at his only appearance four-and-a-half months ago over 6f at Moe, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Placed in a recent trial. Sure to have improved over the break and expected to play a major role. ELEGANT MAN (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth in a 6f contest at Swan Hill two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. GLAMOUR ANA (8) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 6f at Pakenham when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2.25 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is a key runner. EYES WIDE SHUT (7) showed good early speed when resuming last start before fading to finish ninth over 7f at Cranbourne. With blinkers added expect to see plenty of improvement.
