About
Avantaggia is a 3yo bay filly from Australia, trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson in Matamata. She is by Wootton Bassett out of the mare Avantage. To date she has recorded three victories, the most notable being the $35,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap at Otaki on 11 April 2026. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 70% return on investment.
