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: 2-1-8-3
Mazu to lead Jigsaw at a reasonable tempo. JIGSAW has won eight straight, none of them down the straight. He hasn't raced here since finishing fifth in 2023, but I doubt it will bother him. MAZU should give a good sight. If significant rain has fallen, his chances will improve accordingly. EXTRAGALACTIC will give them a start, but should finish hard. REY MAGNERIO didn't have a lot of room late fresh. He's run some good races down the straight. SMOOTH CHINO ran well last time. ARKANSAW KID is usually competitive. Expect SPLASH BACK to need the run. LA FRACAS has to improve sharply.
