Waverley Race 2 - RABOBANK 1200
SWORDSMAN (2) beat a similar field here on debut 3 weeks ago, and he had a lot in hand when crossing the line nearly 3 lengths ahead of his rivals. He looks set to repeat the dose. MIDNIGHT DART (1) chased home the top pick in vain last start in the same race when resuming from a spell. He strips fitter, and he will finish a lot closer this time. VANTAGE POINT (3) has been improving in each of his 2 starts to date, and with a cosy run from a handy gate, he can figure in the top 3 here. Each way. WULFRUNA (7) makes her debut off the back of a recent trial win near the end of last month. She has some good breeding, and any market support will be worth following in.

Nice return last start when runner-up at Wanganui over 1200m on April 18. Sure to run well.

Scored over 1200m at Wanganui last start when lining up for the first time. Open to plenty of improvement and another win is on the cards.

Yet to place in two career runs but shows promise, including a last-start fourth over 1200m at Te Rapa. Has upside and can play a big role.

Debut runner who didn't show much at only trial at Foxton. Drawn well enough in barrier 5. Hard to tip him with any confidence at debut.

Filly by Wootton Bassett from Aneeda on debut. Looked good in a recent trial win. Capable of a solid performance.

Filly by Portland Sky on debut. Purchased for AUD $ 15,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Adelaide Yearling Sale). Thereabouts in recent trial. Looks a top 4 hope in this line-up.

Two-year-old filly out of Group 1 winning dam Silk Pins. Coming along well at the trials with a minor placing at her most recent at Foxton. A product of the strong juvenile stable of Bill Thurlow And Sam O'malley.
