Launceston Race 3 - Trevor Jones Mdn Plate
DEER POWER (3) was twice an impressive triallist prior to being beaten in both of his career starts to date, and on each occasion he has not had all the favours. He has copped another tough gate here, but a change of luck would make him hard to beat. Follow your money. ALPINEFURTHER (1) makes his debut, and he has been showing talent at the trials. He maps to track the speed from a handy gate, and he is expected to make an immediate impact. Use the market as the best guide. DREAM RIOT (4) is on debut, and he won his only public trial to date very easily. A good draw helps, and he can figure in the finish. JAGGERS EDGE (5) won his latest trial, which was his first this season, and he will be ready to rumble on debut. SPIRIT OF COCO (9) finished less than 2 lengths from the winner as the favourite on debut here a fortnight ago. He will naturally improve, and is good enough to have a say in the finish here. Stick with him.

Gelding by Alpine Eagle on debut. Ran 3rd in a trial at Longford over 800m on October 20. Jumps from a favourable gate and can open his account straight away.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, faded in the straight 8th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Devonport Synthetic on August 26 over 1150m, 3.5 len behind Equivaster with 54kg at $2.25. Last start 4th of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at this track on October 16 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Copper Reign carrying 57kg at $3.30. Heading the right way and looks ready to win.
