Launceston Race 4 - Congrats Denise Martin Hcp (C3)

Hard to rule any of these out. Going with THICKSKINNED (3) who made late ground to get up for second when fresh from a spell over 1150m at the Devonport Synthetic last start. Has trialled well since that return. Nicely placed out to 1400m and from the inside alley he looks the goods. COOL HEART (5) doesn't win out of turn but registered a 19th minor placing last time out when beaten a whisker over 1350m at Devonport Synthetic. Yet to miss the placings in three visits to Launceston and another podium finish looks on the cards. BELLSPROUT (4) led from the outset for a convincing first-up victory over 1350m at Devonport Synthetic a month ago. Kept up to the mark with a couple of subsequent trial wins. Veteran sprinter who looks to be going as well as ever. ALPINE FURY (1) came with a well-timed run to salute first-up over this course and distance recently. The winner of two from two when second-up so the good form should hold. SNOW EAGLE (6) can run a big race first-up from a spell.

Second-up. First-up after six months 2nd in a small field in a Cl3 Sw at Devonport Synthetic on September 9 over 1150m, 1.75 len behind Glory Mission carrying 57kg at $16. Previously second-up 4th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Devonport Synthetic on December 19 over 1350m, 1.5 len behind Nikolsky carrying 58.5kg at $4.80. Draws a nice gate and is perfectly placed to go one better.
