David Gately Horse Racing Tips for Geelong 21/10/26

David Gately heads to Geelong for Wednesday's Cup Day meeting with his top-rated runners across all nine races, including the Group 3 Geelong Cup and Listed Geelong Classic.

With the rail returning to the True position, Gately expects track position to be an important factor, particularly given the meeting's history of favouring on-pace runners and horses racing closer to the inside.

The previous meeting saw on-pace runners perform well despite the rail being out 9m for most of the circuit.

With the rail now back in the True position, Gately's ratings have been prepared for a Good track, with the potential for another on-pace and inside advantage worth monitoring throughout the afternoon.

Gately has identified Aurora Belle in Race 3 as his Bet Of The Day, while Spirit Of Wealth at $8 in Race 2 is his Best Value Bet Of The Day.

In the feature Group 3 Geelong Cup, The Euphrates heads his ratings ahead of Litzdeel and Point Of Law, while True Tone is his top selection in the Listed Geelong Classic.

 

Track: Geelong
Track Condition: Good Ratings Applied
Rail Position: True
Previous Meeting: Rail out 9m for most of the circuit, with on-pace runners performing well.

 

 

Geelong Horse Racing Tips From David Gately – Wednesday Geelong Cup Day Preview 21/10/26

Bet Of The Day: Race 3 #7 Aurora Belle

Aurora Belle is David Gately's Bet Of The Day in the 1300m Benchmark 70 at Geelong.

The Race 3 runner sits at the top of Gately's ratings ahead of Misty Whisper and Lario, making Aurora Belle his standout selection across the nine-race program.

With Geelong Cup Day historically favouring runners positioned on or near the speed and closer to the inside, the early races should provide a useful indication of how the track is playing before Aurora Belle contests Race 3.

Best Value Bet Of The Day: Race 2 #12 Spirit Of Wealth ($8.00)

Spirit Of Wealth is Gately's Best Value Bet Of The Day at $8 in the 1100m Benchmark 66.

The Race 2 runner heads his ratings ahead of Bold Bordeaux and Purple Streak, offering punters an attractive price among his leading selections.

At $8, Spirit Of Wealth provides a bigger-priced betting opportunity early in the meeting and is one of the key runners to follow on Geelong Cup Day.

Geelong Cup Preview: Race 7 #2 The Euphrates

The Euphrates heads David Gately's ratings for the Group 3 Geelong Cup over 2400m.

Gately has The Euphrates ranked ahead of Litzdeel and Point Of Law, with Small Fry, Berkeley Square and Vauban completing his top six.

The rail returning to True and the meeting's historical on-pace and inside bias will be important considerations in assessing the staying contest. Early racing patterns should provide valuable information before the feature event.
