The former Boorowa reinswoman teamed up with Bigga trainer Dennis Picker to capture the $14,790 Phoenix Accounting & Business Services Junee Pacers Cup (2170m).

The 19-year-old won a fierce battle for the front on Smooth Sailor ($6.50) and then rated the six-year-old to perfection as she dashed clear down the back straight to record a nine-metre victory.

Short-priced favourite Dance For Glory ($2.10) battled away for second place, while hometown hope, Bruce Harpley’s Roll One Over ($8.00) got going late to finish third.

Smooth Sailor stopped the clock in a mile rate of 1:59.5.

Carla Clare ($2.90) took out the Allan Harpley Memorial (2170m) for Ian Livermore and Cameron Maggs, while Cee Cee Armbro ($2.30) returned from a spell to claim a first-up win in the Phyllis Harpley Memorial 3YO Pace (2170m).

The Cup start was pushed back a short time due to a blackout at Junee Showground early in the night.
