About
Matawai is a 5yo bay mare trained by Jeff Dunn in Beaudesert. She is by the stallion Derryn out of the dam Rocknrolla. She has secured five wins in her career so far. On 14 Aug 2024 at Sandown Lakeside, Matawai earned her most important victory, winning the $50,000 3yo+ Benchmark 64 Handicap. She has proven a profitable runner for punters; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 27% return on investment.
