Week review
- Saturday’s Hay Cup meeting saw Malabar Prince break his maiden in the first race of the day by a cool 3.5L.

Week ahead
Wagga
- Arbelour kicks the day off in race one and will run the second start of his career, returning from a spell.
- Malabar Prince is dual accepted at Wagga and Cooma but will be searching for back-to-back victories in race two’s benchmark 50 if he runs at Wagga. He’s drawn gate one with Connor Murtagh to ride.
- In race three Oxburger will need to show something after a disappointing few starts to begin his career.
- Race four’s Xmas Party Cup (BM50) will see the in-form Adelaide’s Diamond running against stablemate Rainbow Thief. Both horses are dual-acceptors for Cooma’s meeting on Saturday with a decision to be made on where they’ll run.

- Race six’s Class 1 will see Malabar Queen in action from gate four.
