David Gately Horse Racing Tips for Warrnambool 6/5/26

David Gately brings his ratings to Day 2 of the Warrnambool Carnival, with conditions again expected to play in the Heavy to Soft range and the rail remaining in the True position.

The Bool is famous for producing shifting track patterns across the carnival, and with another testing surface expected, punters should closely monitor how the track is playing through the early races.

As seen on Day 1, runners capable of handling wet ground and sustaining momentum through the long Warrnambool straight are likely to hold a major advantage, particularly once the track begins to chop out later in the meeting.

 

Track Type: Turf
Track Condition: Heavy / Soft
Rail: True
Overview: Rail remains True for Day 2 after a testing opening day. Keeping a close eye on emerging track patterns and whether lanes away from the rail improve as the program progresses.
