Horse Racing Tips for Gosford 10/5/25

Gosford plays host to a feature Saturday meeting and Mick Gannon is back with two top-value plays on the tight-turning circuit.

With the rail in the true position and a rain-affected surface expected, early speed and tactical riding will be crucial.

He’s found two key runners on the card that profile ideally for the unique Gosford layout, both offering great value.

Mick Gannon's Best Bet for Gosford Saturday 10/5/25

Race 8 #3 Townsend $17.00

Townsend looks primed to return to form under ideal conditions.

He was made to work too hard last start over 1400m, but now steps to the mile, strips fitter second-up and maps to find a soft run on-speed.

His career peak came second-up and his next-best effort was over a mile on a rain-affected track, the exact scenario he faces here.

With early positioning vital, expect him to control the race early and give backers a big sight.

Bet: Each-Way

Rated Price: $8.50

Race 10 #10 Raikkonen $2.60

Raikkonen resumes here after two solid trials and finds a very winnable race first-up.

He brings genuine figures from his last campaign and looks well prepared to fire fresh.

Drawn ideally in barrier 5, expect him to land right up on speed and if he's near his best, he’ll take a stack of running down.

Bet: Win

Rated Price: $2.35
