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).
Other rules:Only final field runners subject to deductions
Selections: 1-4-3-8
DIRTY ROBBER is suited at this trip fresh; his only run last time in (over 1600m) was full of merit and he has had a jump-out and a trial. PALTINIAN didn't have much luck up in grade last start; can atone here. MANNERHEIM showed some improvement last time out as did RIPPA BUDDY. MONSUN'S PRIDE has fared a bit better at each run this campaign with a win looking close. IDLING BEHIND is back in trip but racing well.
