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: 4-9-2-5
JAPANESE MOKA went to the front in blinkers the first time and dominated event on soft ground. Narrowly beaten by High Falls when making debut and latter has since won next start by 7 lengths. LAGUNANINI was hard in the market here when resuming, but time was quick and feel getting back onto softer ground could lead to improved performance like we saw on debut at Sale on wet surface. MANCHEGO was a easy Echuca winner two starts back, then had veterinary excuse (lame) for $1.50 defeat. Defintely suited by a drying track. TRUE PROPHET placed here three runs back after a couple of solid runs on heavy going.
