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: 9-6-1-8
CARRIEDO sat wide without cover first up behind the promising Aurora Belle (who won next start at Geelong) and ran well. Cup week winner Sulek finished behind her. Maybe a bit vulnerable second up and backing her to hit back. NEZIHA is in great touch winning both races this preparation and found the line strongly over the final stages. Mares in form with will to win must go in. PAPARAZZO was held up in traffic, but wound up nicely when into the clear at Wagga when stepped up in trip. Stargazed a bit over final stages so Looks suited with smother from inside barrier. SUSPECT won second up from a 79 week break. Ran a quick last 400m. Good draw with Yendall helps.
