The TAB customer placed $2500 on the Ashley Manton-trained runner at $5.50 before her win in the Bendigo Locksmiths Mares Pace.

The result came in the same race that the TAB took a $5000 bet on Tooby Gold, who closed off nicely to be beaten less than 2m in third.

Below are some of the other big hits and misses with the TAB on Victorian harness racing last week.
