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: 5-6-8-2
Expectations are this track will remain heavy and/or very very soft. 2190m Maiden Plate to kick things off, a no pace race. Saddlecloth 5 maps to lead, saddlecloth 3 most likely stalks closest to it. HIGHLAND KITTY is well and truly overdue placing nine of fourteen at this point in time. Good news is she's placed five of seven soft. Given the likelihood of the easiest time in transit surely today is the day connections get rewarded. If not, I'd suggest KINDRED gets the chocolates, latest run when 2nd home in heavy ground was a sound performance.
