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: 2-9-7-1
On pace runners, 2, 7, 10, 11. RAIN DELAY stepped up to tackle this journey at Newcastle when he did all but win. He clearly has scope to improve here at only his third start in his first campaign. THREE PROPHETS was an acceptor for the Friday night meeting at Canterbury but he can make his presence felt on debut here if he's saved for this race instead. MOUNT EMU has trialed twice recently at his Rosehill home base and this journey should not create an issue today on debut. MISTADOBALINA was spelled after he trialed in April. He's trialed twice since that spell with Matt Kirk aboard on all three occasions. This class can suit on debut, aided by the claim for Matt today.
