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: 5-6-15-7
On pace runners, 2, 10, 11, 14, 18. GIOVANNA STAR was too good for all except the winner last Saturday at Goulburn and she will still has scope to improve when she tackles the same distance today. AVOID ME finished unplaced last start at Dubbo but her effort was better than it appears at face value and she's anything but out of place here. FANTASY CROWNED traveled keenly at Dubbo before he didn't shirk his task. Stepping back from 1400m is not a minus in his case. BUSHWALKER has been kept fresh since her sound Bathurst effort. She has raced well fresh before and returning to her home base will today be a plus.
