The Paul Long-trained bitch out of Swan Bay took home a comfortable win in the Gunnedah Services Bowling Club Stakes (512 metres).
She finished with a 10-length margin after leading for much of the race.
The 30.77 time was also her best over the 512m distance.
Gunnedah trainer William Marmara ran second in the same race with Bit Bazzaar, followed by Coonabarabran trainer Edward Pomfrett’s El Ballerina in third.
Marmara went one better in the Namoi Valley Independent 347m maiden with his dog, Jakey Vella, nailing his first win from just two starts.
Bryan Garland was running red hot with Bindigo Lass in the grade 4/5 GBOTA Stakes over 440 metres.
The locally-trained black bitch stopped the clock in a time of 25.53, just a fraction shy of her 440m best of 25.50.
Garland scooped the Quinella as well with Bindigo Lad not far off the pace in second.
Later that day, the Gunnedah trainer made it a winning double with Deb’s Dream winning the Greyhounds as Pets grade 5 stakes (347m).
