Launceston Race 7 - Rodney Burgess Patrons Marathon
STAR MAJOR (11) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2698m at this track. With a quick beginning, he can go one better this time. HOT DEAL (10) was in the money two starts ago then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished 5.5 metres away in fourth over 2698m at this track. Has the quality to play a major role. OUT OF EDEN (3) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Hobart. JUST TIGER (6) meets a very competitive field and is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 2698m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (10m Fr1) over 2650m at Carrick beaten 10 m by Nova Baxter (3:24.10) in NR 65 or better on February 16 at $4.80. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Hobart (1:56.80) beating Arden Roanoke in NR 65 to 74 on January 17 at $2.40 at the bell was leading 4.6m on the pegs. Will prove hard to beat.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Nova Baxter at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 63 to 67 on February 2 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Nova Baxter at Carrick over 2650m in a NR 65 or better on February 16 at $91. One of the chances.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Magnetic Terror at Carrick over 1670m in a No NR on January 26 at $13.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Magnetic Terror at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 75 to 105 on February 2 at $5.50. Can improve. Bold showing expected again.
