David Gately Horse Racing Tips for the Golden Eagle 1/11/25

Race 8 – The Golden Eagle (1500m)

3 – LINEBACKER – Brilliant trial and then dominant in the Silver Eagle despite sitting wide. Even better suited at 1500m and still untapped.

14 – AUTUMN GLOW – Unbeaten and continually running elite times. Thrashed Pericles last start and looks every bit a future superstar.

12 – PANJA TOWER – Japanese G1 winner who ran near world-record time at 1600m. Massive respect on Australian debut.

4 – SEPALS – Outstanding in the Rupert Clarke and forget the Toorak ever happened. Big chance at odds.

1 – EVAPORATE – Blew the start in the Toorak and still ran huge. Honest, consistent, and not out of place here.
