The pacy daughter of Spring Gun featured in the winner’s circle for the first time since October 2016 when she dashed away with the JC Painting Appreciation Grade 5 Stakes (340m).

Deb’s Dream ($5.00) made short work of a smart field from box seven, bolting in by a commanding 8 ¼ length margin after breaking the 20-second mark.

The clock featured 19.95 seconds, a sizzling run from the pocket-rocket, who was the smallest greyhound in the race at 22.4kg.

Deb’s Dream lifted her career record to 12 wins from 47 starts and prizemoney through the $7000 barrier thanks to Saturday’s triumph.

The victory was her second in eight appearances at the track, but the first in Tamworth since a maiden win in February 2015.

Star Gunnedah speedster Takalo Gem had to be content with second after being upstaged by the Moonbi Marvel.

Cullinan Raider illustrated his love affair with the Tamworth layout to stave off the ace of Jamie Bush’s kennel by 1 ¼ lengths. Takalo Gem had the lion-share of support from punters, sent out the clear $1.65 favourite on track.

But the son of Magic Sprite banished the memory of recent flops at Armidale to seal his third career win, all coming in the Country Music capital.

Cullinan Raider sealed a winning double for trainer Lloyd Metcalf junior after Hortensia Raider ($13) won race three.

Tamworth’s Hayden Munn also prepared a brace of victors in the last meeting before the Cup heats, consisting of Chosen Diamond and King Jamati.
