As the 2023/24 season end approaches Waugh is set to claim her seventh successive Wyong Premiership having bagged 40 wins to date, nine ahead of her nearest rival Kristen Buchanan.

Waugh saddles up four runners at the final Wyong meeting of the season and is hopeful at least one can get the job done.

Her chances lie with Riley Park ($51 on TAB) in the Brydens Lawyers Provincial Class 1, 1350m, Sidenay ($41) and Buba in the The Entrance Leagues Club BM68 Handicap, 1350m and Community ($13) in the Steinbok Bm64 Handicap, 1600m.

All four of Waugh’s runners are second-up with Buba have previously won second-up, while Sidenay and Community have been placed.

Her rivals, Snowden racing have three runners, two-year-old’s Anabaa’s Spirit ($7), Zousain Bolt ($3.60 favourite) and last start Randwick placegetter Waterville ($3.90).

The Wyong Jockeys' Premiership could also come down to the wire with Tyler Schiller holding a two-point lead on 10 over Keagan Latham and Ashley Morgan on eight.

Schiller has five rides on Thursday, while Latham has three. Morgan is currently suspended and out of the Premiership race.

The Apprentices' Premiership has already been decided with Zac Lloyd booting home 11 winners at Wyong over the 12-month period, while Dylan Gibbons has 10 and Zac Wadick eight.

Neither Lloyd or Gibbons are riding at the meeting and with Wadick having only one ride, the title is firmly in Lloyd’s hands.
