The two-year-old filly made it three wins from as many starts after leading all the way at Riverina Paceway on Friday.
Resuming from a spell for Leeton trainer-driver Todd Prest, Sporty Dancer clocked a mile rate of 1:55.1.
Prest couldn't be more pleased with how the filly has come back.
"She has come back really well," Prest said.
"She trialled good on Sunday and backed it up again.
"She come out of the gate pretty good, I didn't if I could come out that good, but she really wanted to."

The $1.70 favourite held off fellow two-year-old Defiant to win by 3.8 metres.
As she is eligible for the Vicbred Super Series, Prest has to send the filly to a new trainer south of the border for her next race.
"Unfortunately I can't go down," he said.
"I don't really want to do it but that is what I have to do."
Meanwhile Eagles And Indians resumed in impressive style for new trainer Chris Hughes.
After four unplaced efforts for Rod Woodhouse last season, the three-year-old easily accounted for his rivals in the opening of the day.
In his first start in over a year, the son of Fly Like An Eagle produced a commanding performance to win by 22.5 metres in a mile rate of 1:54.9.
It was part of a double for the Leeton trainer with Trunkey Tash returning to winning ways after a short campaign in Queensland.
Blake Jones drove both winners.
