After success on debut, Tiggerlong Pink ran into undefeated Tanami Express in two of her next three starts, but trainer Michael Finn thought a better start was the key to her success.
"She's been missing the kick a bit but I've given her a few trials and she's been jumping good," Finn said.
"I thought she would won and she has been trialling good so maybe she might put a couple together now."
Tiggerlong Pink shot straight to the front before going on to down her rivals by almost seven lengths on Sunday.
Clocking 18.21 seconds, she is the second fastest qualifier for the Ladbrokes Monthly Medal 1-3 Wins Final (320m) next week and Finn is chasing a good draw.
Trunkey Rose is the fastest qualifier for Peter Sims with her 18.13.
Steven Kemp won the second heat with Who's Got Fifi, and also qualified Finn Bop after she finished second to Trunkey Rose, but Who's Got Fifi was significantly slower after clocking 18.74.
