Waugh switches focus to Goulburn after coastal deluge
The prospect of a drier surface at Goulburn on Thursday has enticed Wyong trainer Kim Waugh to take a team of runners to the transferred meeting at the track. Originally scheduled to be run at Wyong, the Thursday card was moved to Goulburn after a deluge hit the Central Coast this week. 'It's not ideal to have to travel but there aren't many other options,' said Waugh, who had planned to run some of her runners at the washed-out Newcastle meeting on Tuesday. Waugh will start Estephania at Goulburn in the D One Accounting Class 1 Handicap (1000m) with apprentice Anna Roper taking the ride. 'She's a talented mare that is resuming from a spell,' said Waugh. 'She won well on debut at Gosford in October of 2023 and she had a break after that and ran last at Wyong in July last year. 'She's resuming on Thursday after having her share of problems, but she's looked good in her trials and is set to run well. 'She's a big mare and will be better for the run but she has the class to give it a shake.' Waugh will have two runners in the Goulburn Soldiers Club Provincial Maiden Handicap with (1300m) with Jared to be ridden by Ashley Morgan and Matete to be partnered by Jay Ford.
