State-based Tote pools across Australia have been combined into a single national Tote ('One Pool'), meaning there is now only one set of Tote dividends nationwide.
This industry-wide change may affect the prices available and how some Tote bets are settled. Tote (TO) now represents the combined national Tote ('One Pool'), while Tote+ (TO+) returns the better of the Tote dividend and Starting Price (SP).
EBONY KARALTA (1) has been racing very well of late and went close again in a higher-graded race last time at Wagga, his third runner-up result on the trot. Likely to get all the favours from the inside draw so can find the winners' list. TITIWHA (9) is another coming back in grade. Good effort when runner-up at Wagga last month. Can measure up with even luck from the second line. BLACKJACK WHACKO (5) has joined Jackson Painting since he last appeared at Melton five months ago. Has trialled and could make an immediate impact. FLIPTOP BOTTLESHOP (10) may need some luck from this draw but there has been merit in recent efforts.
