Horse Racing Tips for Grafton 5/3/26

Dean Watling heads to Grafton with the rail pushed out +5m and the track rated a Soft 5.

With the rail out across the entire circuit, runners that can settle on-speed or within striking distance should be well placed, particularly if the pattern favours those closer to the pace.
