PRIMAL SPIRIT (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten one length when sixth in a 7f contest at Sale three weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. ALL HANDS (5) is back from a lay-off of ten months. Closed last prep with a 11th, beaten 13 lengths, over 1m at Bendigo. Is lightly raced and looks forward enough after a solid recent trial. Among the leading chances. WHERE'S POPPY (4) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 5½f at Tatura, beaten 1.5 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. LITTLEBOURKESTREET (14) won on debut last time out two months ago over 5f at Ballarat Synthetic, getting home by a neck. Capable of playing a big role.
