POUTCHEK (13) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when she was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 6¾f at Doomben. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish. LOYALTY COUNTS (5) was having his first run for the P Duncan yard last start when he made steady ground to run into third over 5¼f at Gold Coast Poly at the first run back from a lay-off. Can go a couple better. TOUCHOFCLASS (15) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when sixth in a 6f contest at Sunshine Coast three-and-a-half weeks ago. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. ADDITION (11) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when resuming at Doomben, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths over 6f. Should be thereabouts in this suitable race.
