Lightly-raced six-year-old Centurytwentyone, who came back from a serious injury early in his career, will try to make it five successive wins in Wednesday's Group Three Launceston Cup.

Trainer Dennis O'Leary hails from the coastal town of Normanville, 100km south of Adelaide, where he works 15 horses on the beach.

He decided to give the grey his chance at the $300,000 2400m feature after he won over 2040m at Moonee Valley on February 14 - the longest trip he has attempted to date.

"He had a very severe accident. He did a somersault over a running rail with my regular track rider on him," O'Leary said.

"It nearly killed her and himself and he's had back problems but it's great that we've got him back."

Syndicated among some friends for $30,000, Centurytwentyone has raced 15 times for eight wins and a second for nearly $160,000 in prizemoney.

His sequence of wins this campaign began at Strathalbyn over 1350m on January 11 after which he stepped up to 1600m at Morphettville with a win on January 24.

The gelding landed his first black-type victory in the Birthday Cup (1800m) with a two-length win over Cuban Girl at Morphettville on January 31 before scoring from Renewable and Growl at the Valley.

Top jockey Dwayne Dunn, who has won twice from three rides on him including the Moonee Valley success, was keen to stick with Centurytwentyone in the Launceston Cup in which he drew awkwardly in barrier 14 in the 15-horse field.

O'Leary said he was also considering a start for Centurytwentyone in the Group Two Adelaide Cup (3200m) at Morphettville on March 9.

South Australian-trained horses to have won the Launceston Cup include Dakasha, trained by Leon Macdonald in 2005, Ken Sweeney's King's Landing in 1998 and Down The Pitch for Mick O'Leary in 1990.

Hobart Cup runner-up Zavite, prepared by Anthony Cummings, is $3 favourite to turn the tables on the Darren Weir-trained Gotta Keep Cool who, at $3.60 with TAB Sportsbet fixed odds, is considered the main danger.

Zavite goes up a kilogram and is topweight in the Cup with 58.5kg but meets Gotta Keep Cool 1.5kg better at the weights this time.

Nash Rawiller returns to Tasmania for the ride on the Zabeel six-year-old who drew gate 11, while Steve Arnold takes over the reins from Craig Williams on Gotta Keep Cool who also drew wide in barrier 10.

The Danny O'Brien-trained imported five-year-old Reputable, who ran fourth in the Hobart Cup, is at $5 with Centurytwentyone at $7 ahead of Hobart Cup third placegetter Dream Pedlar at $13 and last year's Launceston Cup winner Ista Kareem next best at $14.
