Betting Strategy

David Gately's two standout selections are The Flying POV in Race 7 and Strong Box at $10 in Race 8.

The Flying POV is the Bet Of The Day and the main selection to follow, while Strong Box offers the bigger-priced opportunity as Gately's Best Value Bet Of The Day.

With the rail moving from 5 metres to 9 metres and the previous meeting conducted on wet ground, punters should monitor how the track is playing through the early races before drawing firm conclusions about any advantage on the day.

Gately's top-rated runners across the opening six races provide additional betting options, but the strongest focus remains on his two highlighted selections in the final two races.
