The Paul Kahlefeldt-trained pacer has the Wagga Horse of the Year title in the bag with just one meeting remaining at Riverina Paceway on Friday.
Seattle Trace ($23.00) finished strongly to grab second behind Mighty Moke Lombo ($5.50) in the Rambler Welding NR 75 Pace (1740m).
The points for second placing was enough to maintain her four point lead over stablemate Twentyeightblack and secure her the title ahead of Friday's final meeting, where they will both go around again.
The big move came in the Wagga trainer's premiership with Junee horseman Trevor White surging to the lead after a successful night at the track.
White enjoyed success with Ambitions ($6.50) winning the Sky Racing Active Ladyship NR 55 Pace (1740m). He also earned valuable points through second placings to Shes Courageous and Dust To Diamonds and a third with Blues Terror.
White now leads on 68 points, ahead of Kahlefeldt (64), Bruce Harpley (62), Ellen Bartley (60) and Kim Hillier (58).
White has five horses in at Wagga on Friday, while Kahlefeldt has seven entered. Bartley and Hillier have four each and Harpley just has the one emergency in.
Bartley's double at Wagga on Tuesday night, courtesy of Deekays Major ($19.00) and Blazin Cracker ($2.00) also levelled her with Harpley in the South West trainer's premiership with three meetings remaining.
