Waverley tips and results

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.60 · Chris Dell

Lightly raced gelding who showed promise with a close second on heavy going.

Our price $2.00 · SP $2.10 · Liam Kauri

Swordsman impressed winning his debut on Heavy 8 at Wanganui over 1200m, showing he handles wet conditions perfectly. The inside barrier suits Waverley's bias favouring positions 1-6, and his light weight of 55kg is a significant advantage. Trainer Breslin and jockey Kauri combine well (33% strike rate), and the colt's proven heavy track ability makes him ideally suited to today's Soft 6 conditions.

Wulfruna represents the classic debut runner mystery from the respected Gray stable. While the wide barrier 6 is concerning at Waverley, debut runners can surprise when well-prepared.

Bozo offers strong each-way value with superior class credentials and proven wet track ability. The mare's heavy track record is exceptional with a 40% win rate, while her soft track form shows 27% wins and 45% places. Her January win at Kumara over 1810m on Soft 6 demonstrates ability in these conditions. The class drop from Group 3 to Open provides a significant advantage, though the 33-day break and poor last start are concerns. The barrier 6 position is workable at Waverley.

Our price $7.50 · SP $4.70 · Lily Sutherland

Kick On represents solid place value with consistent recent form and soft track credentials. His second placing at Woodville last start over 2100m shows current fitness and ability near this distance. The gelding's soft track record of 18% wins and 36% places provides confidence in today's conditions. The inside barrier 3 is ideal for Waverley's bias patterns.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.70 · Amber Riddell

Ocean Melody brings recent winning form and heavy track ability but faces the challenge of barrier 15. The class rise is significant, but the Latta stable's current form and the mare's improvement trajectory make her a threat if she can overcome the wide draw.

Our price $7.50 · SP $8.80 · Toni Davies

The heavy track specialist profile doesn't perfectly match today's soft conditions, but the class relief and inside draw create an overlay opportunity.

Our price $8.50 · SP $6.00 · Jonathan Riddell

Lantern Way brings solid credentials as a recent winner dropping in class from BM75 to BM65. Jonathan Riddell's excellent 18% strike rate at Waverley is a significant positive, and the good barrier draw allows tactical flexibility. However, his modest soft track record (1-2-1 from 11 starts) on today's Soft 6 surface is a concern that prevents higher confidence.

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.60 · Kelly Myers

Chester Boy offers solid each-way value as a consistent BM65 performer who handles soft tracks well. His form shows regular placings at this level, and the soft track conditions suit his profile. While he failed here previously, that was at a shorter distance and different conditions. The wide barrier is a concern, but his ability to settle midfield and finish strongly could work if the pace is genuine.

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.90 · Chris Dell

In-form galloper coming off a last-start win with excellent distance credentials. The wide barrier is concerning at Waverley, but his proven soft track ability and strong recent form make him a genuine threat if he can overcome the draw.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Kavish Chowdhoory

Classy mare with excellent first-up credentials and strong form before the spell. The 63-day break is a concern, but her proven ability and strong connections make her a live chance if ready to go fresh.

Our price $6.50 · SP $4.90 · Kavish Chowdhoory

Metaverse brings local knowledge with an excellent Waverley record and recent close second. Her track familiarity and soft track ability are strong positives, though her age and moderate win rate are concerns. Still represents solid each-way value.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.30 · Kelly Myers

Cotton Roca represents excellent value after her recent BM65 win. The light weight and proven wet track ability are strong positives, while the class rise and wide barrier are concerns. Her improvement curve and weight advantage make her an attractive roughie.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.00 · Kelly Myers

Progressive mare with excellent Waverley record and strong recent form. The class rise is concerning but her track-specific success and improving trajectory suggest she can handle the step up, particularly with the effective jockey booking.
