They are Victorians Pantera Nera, trained by Gavin Burke, and Nangar Range, trained by Greg Schofield, and Queenslander Wings Of Perlita, trained by John Hutchinson.
Pantera Nera won last week’s Devonport Cup before returning home to finish third in a heat of the Warragul Cup on Saturday night.
Another Victorian greyhound, Zipping Quinsee, has been nominated by Invermay trainer Eileen Thomas.
Zipping Quinsee has had only one start in Tasmania when he fell after a severe check in a heat of the Devonport Cup two weeks ago.
There are 75 nominations for the Launceston Cup with the best 64 selected to contest the heats.
The semi-finals will be on February 6 and the final, worth $40,000 to the winner, on February 13.
