David Gately Horse Racing Tips for Caulfield 31/1/26

David Gately heads to Caulfield this Saturday with confidence around how the track is likely to play.

Conditions are set for a Good surface, with the rail positioned at 4 metres.

Last week’s meeting strongly favoured on-pace runners and those able to hold the inside, largely due to protected ground and extreme heat.

With milder conditions expected this time around, David anticipates a more even playing field, opening the door for runners settling just off the speed to have their chance.

David Gately – Caulfield Best Bets Preview

Bet of the Day

Race 8 No.3 – Gallant Son

Gallant Son returned in excellent order at Flemington, producing a strong on-speed win while carrying 61kg and racing into the breeze.

That form has already begun to stack up, and he now drops sharply in weight to 56.5kg.

With improvement still to come second-up and the 1100m posing no concern, he profiles as a horse capable of repeating the effort under far more favourable conditions.

Best Value Bet

Race 10 No.6 – Zouper Fund

Zouper Fund has been quietly building a very solid form profile.

He ran over the top of subsequent winners Scampi and Rue De Royale fresh, then backed it up with another strong effort at Cranbourne.

That form continues to read well, and dropping back into this grade looks ideal.

He has always shaped as a genuine 1400m horse, and at around the $9 mark, David sees him as clear value late in the program.
