Can the handicapping experts give a credible reason for the weight difference between the top 2 weighted runners.

the dills wanted to protect the best horses that were already winning more than their expected share by miles.
and this is what happens in bureaucracies where your job is safe regardless of performance, and probably also because there is nobody there smart enough to realise what has happened and who is responsible for it happening.
you make good betting races, by trying to ensure every horse has its chance, not by dishing out favours.
i also notice that the 3yo swp races are back where the base weight for 3yo fillies is 53 and 55 for the colts/geldings.
then the idiots make a limit of 54....htf can you give a set weght and then stop the horse from carrying it?
mr hunter on twitter tried to defend the indefensible, in what to me was an admission that he has no idea.
now he has gone from the handicapping department supposedly, but unfortunately, the new boss of it is from the same mould, and he has no idea either imo.

Not sure 14% decrease in turnover is a positive.

only 8 starters last year and also I notice only a 2.5kg spread in the weights. BHB who won ( #1@ $3.70) only carried 2.5kg more than Hazzabeel whose best win was in a 72+
Was it run under the same conditions last year
Turnover disgraceful.
Recent conversation with RWWA Exec stated that there is no communication between RWWA handicappers/graders and Tabtouch when conditions of individual races change and the resultant turnover, regardless of increase or decrease.
