Armidale on Tuesday, carrying 58kg to a soft length and a half win and is now
undefeated on two barrier trials and two races.

Wandabaa was bred by Bob Hannon and is the fourth winner from four to race from
Mabkhara, a half-sister to Group III placed Lucky Eighty Eight from the family
of Group I winners Rewaaya and Sense of Occasion.
Wandabaa is one of seven first crop winners for snitzel's Group I winning son Wandjina, who has three stakes
