David Gately Horse Racing Tips for Caulfield 29/4/26

David Gately brings his well-established ratings to today’s Caulfield (Heath) meeting, with the track expected to play fairly under Good conditions and the rail set at 3m.

Over the past 12 months, Gately has delivered 418 winners at an average price of $3.41, a strong reflection of both consistency and value-driven selections across all tracks.

With the rail previously in the True position and the track playing evenly, punters can expect a relatively balanced surface again, where both on-speed runners and those finishing off can play a role.

Track Condition: Good
Rail: 3m
Overview: Was True here last meeting and the track played well, with the final races showing that runners could finish off from the back.
