Waverley tips and results

Our price $3.40 · SP $2.70 · Jonathan Riddell

Clear form standout in a weak maiden. Both career runs have been on Heavy and both produced placings, with the latest Woodville third the best effort this field has shown. Steps to 1400m and draws wide, yet fitness and wet-track ability outweigh those concerns on a Heavy 8.

Our price $8.00 · SP $20.00 · Rohan Mudhoo

Best-mapped of the debutants. Barrier 2 is a genuine asset on Heavy at Waverley where inside gates and on-pace types dominate. Stable and rider stats are serviceable and she carries no spell penalty. Purely a map-and-connections play in a maiden full of query marks, but the draw lifts her into the top three chances.

Our price $9.50 · SP $23.00 · Liam Kauri

Value debutant from the in-form Didham yard. Trainer strike rate towers over most rivals and the claim helps on a testing Heavy surface.

Our price $3.40 · SP $4.20 · Kelly Myers

Asher is the clear form horse. She ran a strong second on Heavy over 1400m a fortnight ago and her only other start was also on a Heavy track. Fit, well drawn and dropping no weight, she maps perfectly for a Waverley maiden on this surface. Asher gets the win vote on fitness and proven suitability.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · Kavish Chowdhoory

Soft-track form is solid and the jockey knows the circuit. Fair each-way value against the shorter runners.

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.80 · Toni Davies

Our price $10.50 · SP $35.00 · Leah Hemi

Exposes as a value stab in an open maiden. The Te Rapa debut was plain, but she is the fittest horse in the race, draws well, and second-starters often jump forward. Small each-way play for the improver angle.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.00 · Floor Moerman

Inside gate, light weight and a fresh win put her right in the finish if she handles the Heavy 8. Soft-track form is deep and second-up she should strip fitter.

Our price $11.00 · SP $9.50 · Mereana Hudson

The value runner. She has already won at this level on heavy and projects to race handy from a mid draw with a light weight.

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.00 · Craig Grylls

Her soft-track placings around the mile are genuine. However she has not placed on Heavy, faded when second in running last start on Heavy 10, and was beaten by Marge that day.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.20 · Floor Moerman

Time After Time brings honest Heavy form, including seconds at Wanganui and Woodville, then ran fifth under a crushing 66.5kg last start. Back to 55.5kg is a major boost. Barrier four helps, though she may land midfield-to-rear in a slowly run race, which is not ideal.

Our price $11.00 · SP $23.30 · Lemmy Douglas

In Tune is the value angle off the speed map. She is the sole likely leader in a race shaped for a slow tempo on Heavy, from barrier five with a feather weight. Her last-start lead at 1800m ended in a fade for fifth, but 1650m gives her more chance to control and hang on.

Our price $6.50 · SP $10.00 · Lemmy Douglas

Cheval De Foudre has been mixing it in Opens and placing repeatedly, so a Bench 75 looks made to order on pure ability. Wet credentials are sound and the recent pattern is reliable. Freshness and the big weight on a Heavy track are the brakes, and he does not win first-up, but if anywhere near Open form he is right in this.

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.00 · Jim Chung

She loves Waverley, handles Heavy ground, sits on pace from the inside alley under a feather weight — exactly the profile this track rewards when it is wet and tempo is quiet. The BM82 run was a grade stretch; prior Bench 75 win on Heavy is the relevant form. Clear overlay for each-way punters.

Our price $4.50 · SP $8.00 · Kelly Myers

Malleable brings the best recent wet form into this BM65. His Te Aroha third under a crushing 65kg was a strong effort at the grade, and he already has a Waverley 1650m placing plus a heavy win on his record. Fitness is assured off nine days. The wide gate is the main knock on a track that favours inside draws, but the raw form is clear of most rivals and justifies him as the win selection.

Our price $10.00 · SP $15.00 · Mereana Hudson

He broke through on Heavy 10 last start and keeps Hudson from the coveted inside alley, which is a real edge on this Waverley Heavy 8.

Our price $9.50 · SP $9.00 · Jim Chung

Kit Zakat brings genuine heavy-track credentials and a race-day set-up that fits this track. Barrier five with only 55.5kg is a real advantage on a Heavy 8, and she is fit from recent racing. Last-start fade after leading is a query, but prior wet wins and placings keep her in the mix.

Our price $14.00 · SP $34.00 · Mereana Hudson

Wuruhi is the standout overlay. That profile ticks every Waverley Heavy box the stats favour—inside gate, light weight, wet proven and recently competitive.
