Gator's Game Plan: Gately's best at Caulfield & Rosehill (30/05)

By David Gately

David Gately has provided his best bets for Caulfield and Rosehill on Saturday.

See Gator's Game Plan below:

BET OF THE DAY (Melbourne)

CAULFIELD - Race 2 No.3 - SWIFT FORCE - Looked terrific winning here latest off 10-week let-up when led all way and rider was never full-bore really. Carts same weight here after claim. Doubt 1200m pulls her up!

BET OF THE DAY (Sydney)

ROSEHILL - Race 3 No.11 - GORGEOUS - Slow out fresh (costly!) then held-up badly Scone yet kept closing under no riding. Love seeing that. In light here back to Midway.

VALUE BET OF THE DAY

ROSEHILL - Race 5 No.1 - DUVANA - Forced to slower inside rail fresh Scone and ran well. He was backed at odds there. Fitter to 1500m and has won heavy. Overs here $10???

BEL ESPRIT STAKES

Caulfield - Race 8 - Listed Bel Esprit Stks - 1100m

1 - 12 - BUSTLING - Solid return here when off 86-weeks break. Much fitter here and now has 8kg swing won winner Baseball Rewarded.

2 - 2 - WATCHME WIN - Close-up in G1 Goodwood at 1200m. He's a better horse at 1100m and away from G1 level. Split two good ones in Hawkes Stks prior. Good closing 1L 4th this race last year.

3 - 4 - CORNICHE - Won very well Flem / 1000m before two forgive runs his last two. Like him drawn out. Can hit back hard.

4 - 11 - GIN A TONIC - Resumes. Hard ridden to win trial. Good fresh horse and took some handy scraps early last prep (Fieldelo/ Celerity). Gate 1 ok???

5 - 10 - SAMANGU - Resumes. Won trial well (gap 3rd) and proven fresh. Below best last prep but took on some strong races.

6 - 14 - BAZABALL REWARDED - Very genuine. Bit harder at weights here but in mix.
