When it comes to the famous Warrnambool Carnival, David Gately is one of the most trusted voices in racing.

Known for his in-depth form analysis and sharp commentary, Gator brings a wealth of knowledge to every card—especially on tricky tracks like the 'Bool.

He's cautious of track patterns early (as history has shown bias on Day 1), but with a “much better cover of grass” reported this year, Gately’s playing it straight and sticking to the form.

He’s called out Hedged as his Best Bet of the Day, while Taung gets the nod as the Best Value Bet, and Loose On Gin is a smart each-way play to close out the card.

Check out Gator’s full top-rated runners below:
