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: 4-7-5-6
On pace runners, 1, 4, 5, 7. APLHA SORT wasn't disgraced within this distance range on debut at Hawkesbury and natural improvement can now be made at his home base. PONZI SCHEME has handed in solid efforts recently at Moruya and then at Nowra. The addition of blinkers can now aid his cause. DUBIOUS EXPRESS should not be harshly judged for an unplaced first up Hawkesbury effort within this distance range. There were excuses on the day. PHANTOM KING concedes race-day experience to all on debut today but after winning the second of his two lead-up trials, he can cope.
