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

AITCH D'AMICO steps up to a more suitable trip and drops in grade here today. He has drawn the inside gate and will carry 58kg after Rose Hammond's claim. NO MANS LAND was a bit one paced in the run to the line at Balaklava last start so the extra distance might suit him. CHANCE TAKEN ran home well from back in the field to finish just behind the placegetters at Halidon last time. He's at his best with some give in the ground. EAGLELOU has not been far away in the finish in recent outings. There were excuses for ENCIPHERING at Halidon, I'd be inclined to forgive that run and give him another chance.
