Moving up in class with ease, the Victor Puddy-trained Twin B Wrangler cruised gate-to-wire in the featured $11,000 Preferred 2 Pace on Monday at The Raceway at the Western Fair District.

A winner in the Preferred 3 last Monday night, Twin B Wrangler ($10) and driver Alfie Carroll left from post one in this evening's ninth race feature and carved out fractions of :27.4, :57.2 and 1:25.3 en route to the one and a half length victory in 1:55.3. Mach It Big and Robert Shepherd followed in second while Leafs And Wings (Scott Wray) rounded out the top three finishers.

The five-year-old Mach Three gelding now has two wins in four London starts this year for owner Keith Cassell of Smiths Falls, Ont. The win was his 10th lifetime and bumped his bankroll to $113,910.

Driven by Nick Steward, Amazon Art ($8.50) rallied three-wide from second over at the third quarter mark in the $7,000 Preferred 3 Pace earlier on the card and came on to score his first win of the year in 1:56.4. Randy Van Meer trains the eight-year-old Artsplace gelding, who is now just shy of $400,000 in career earnings, for owner Harry Locke of Oshawa, Ont.

Woodbine shipper Standing My Ground ($3.60) went back-to-back for trainer Richard Moreau as she rallied three-high from third over near the five-eighths mark and drew clear into the stretch to win the matching Preferred 3 for trotters in 2:01 with Trevor Henry aboard. The four-year-old Amigo Hall mare is owned by the Toronto-based Synerco Ventures Inc.
