LOYALTY COUNTS (3) is fresh from a lay-off of nine months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Sunshine Coast over 5f. In a different yard now. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. THE STATEMENT (2) returns from a layoff of five months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5f at Ballina. Has found the right race. DOMINANCE (6) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at Beaudesert over 5½f last time, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. EXCEED TO AMBITION (8) missed the frame last time out when ninth over 6f at this track. Still a maiden but has been in the money on four occasions. Has recorded three minor placings from nine tries at this distance. Should be poised just off the lead. In the mix.
