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: 8-4-7-11
On pace runners, 1, 2, 3, 4, 9. KING KOOKABAA was responsible for a solid debut effort at Narromine over 1100m after he raced greenly at stages and natural improvement can now be made at only start number two! NIGHTWALKER kept trying in defeat second up at Orange and stepping up from only 1000m can now be regarded as a plus. ANDERS DIAMOND wasn't disgraced first up in the same Orange race as NIGHTWALKER and he will now have scope to improve at his second start as a gelding. OVERSHOOT started at huge odds when her unplaced Coonabarabran effort was better than it appears on paper and she shouldn't be underestimated here, aided by the claim for Gabrielle Johnston.
