David Gately Horse Racing Tips for Bendigo 26/8/26

David Gately heads to Bendigo for Wednesday racing with his ratings prepared for a Heavy to Soft track, making wet-track ability an important consideration across the eight-race program.

David has identified two clear betting plays on the card. Carry Trade in Race 3 is his Bet Of The Day, while Written Glow in Race 6 is the Best Value Bet Of The Day at around $8.
