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

BLEAK MID WINTER was a beaten favourite first up but not disgraced and will be improved. BRING THE THUNDER was caught wide at Bendigo but had not been far away at previous outings. UNRIDDLE resumes having finally broken through late in his latest prep; he is honest. FLYING MEAN is not unsuited back in trip. IRRESISTIBLE SIR was sound without the best of luck at Moe. MOONLIGHT RUSTLER and THE CRUISER have place claims.
