David Gately Horse Racing Tips for Ballarat 30/9/26

David Gately heads to Ballarat for Wednesday racing with his ratings prepared for a Good track, while the rail moves out to the 4m position after being True at the previous meeting.

David's two standout betting opportunities arrive through the middle of the eight-race program.

Perfect Night in Race 4 is his Bet Of The Day, before he takes a much bigger swing with Wonderful Sky at $12 as his Best Value Bet Of The Day in Race 6.

The $12 available for Wonderful Sky is particularly interesting given David has rated the runner on top of the BM64 field.

Away from his two major bets, Yauson heads the ratings in Race 5 before Correido and Gina's A Star are David's top-rated runners across the final two races.
