The bitch made it two wins in her last three starts after taking out the M Williams Painting And Decor (400m) from box eight.
She's only been unplaced in two of her 14 starts, both coming early in her career behind Tanami Express, but seems to have liking for the pink rug.
She's had the same starting point in her last four races, for two wins and two placings, and Finn is pleased with her consistency.
"She is always around somewhere and it is not very often she is out of a place" Finn said.
"She is going good but her name is Pink and she keep getting the pink box.
"Everyone says that's good but I'd rather get the red box as she's never had an inside box."
He was pleased with another strong performance to extend her good run of form.
She clocked 22.98 seconds in her latest win with Finn left to ponder what time she would run if she could master the start.
"She done it a bit hard to get across, and it took her a while to get across, but once she found the rails I don't know what she would run if she led all the way," he said.
"She is going good at the moment."
Tiggerlong Pink ($2) only began moderately from the widest alley before making a mid race surge, slipping inside leader Dyna Joanie ($26) coming around the home turn before powering onto win by three lengths.
Tiggerlong Red finished second, beaten two lengths by Thomeli Gal to make it a good night for the Dyna Double One - Tiggerlong Dot litter.
While trainers are created restricted to racing in their region due to coronavirus Finn believes the regular Sunday TAB slot has been a bonus.
Especially with plans to see TAB racing in the Riverina once a week for the next year.
"They are racing every week now so it's good," he said. "Sometimes you would have three weeks off and you can't sit a dog in a kennel for three weeks.
"It's good we can race every week more or less and things are looking up."
Meanwhile Peter Sims was the only trainer to taste multiple success on the night with Revelstone and Second Exit both winning.
Second Exit led a Sims trifecta in the Simaroo Lodge (525m) with Riccobono and Canya Star filling the placings.
