Launceston Race 6 - Cressy Chaff Cutters Longford Cup New Year's Day Hcp (C3)
JENNI THE CAT (4) has come back in top order this season with a comfortable win here fresh up over 1100m. She steps up 320m, but has won over this trip in the past, and from her good gate, she can repeat the dose. WHO'S IN DEV (7) will be peaking at the right time third up from a spell, and after a 2kg claim, she will drop 4.5kg. A wide gate is no help, but her best form has been over this trip, and she has solid top 3 claims this time. ARTILLERY FIRE (2) set the pace, and overdid it in front after her saddle slipped forward here last week, and she was allowed to coast home along the fence. The 7-day backup should not be an issue, and an extra 220m will also be in her favour. Each-way value. BELLSPROUT (3) is a lightly tried 8YO gelding with plenty of natural pace. He is likely to push forward early on, and gets another chance to break his maiden status on a turf surface. Include in all combos. WITHIN SIGHT (9) ran a better race when second here 2 weeks ago. Stick with him.

Second-up. First-up after seven months favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.5 len in a Cl2 at this track on October 9 over 1100m defeating Novalargo with 56kg at $2.45. Previously second-up favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.25 len in a Cl1 at this track on January 14 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Beneficiary with 55kg at $6.50. Has won second up in the past and is capable of building on that record.
