Key Comments The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race. The track is heavy so keep an eye on conditions. Best Bet Hold (Goulburn Race 2 No. 4) The best bet comes up in the second race. Likeable first up win and handles the wet conditions which is a big tick here. Taking on the favourite who had 3 goes in the heavy for no placings. Not much between them in the market. Check
