Finnigan made his debut at Tamworth in September and things couldn't have gone any better as Port Of Jeddah saluted for the Scone trainer at $51.
The five-year-old mare is the only horse trained by Finnigan and on Thursday she'll line up in the KB Concrete Class 1 and Maiden Plate (1600m).
Port Of Jeddah has made five starts for Finnegan, with one win, a second and two fourths to his name.
She was previously failed to win in nine career starts while bouncing around a number of stables in the state.
Finnigan's chances of a second win have been boosted by the booking of champion jockey Greg Ryan for the Narromine event.
Ryan and Port Of Jeddah will go from gate seven on Thursday and are likely to be one of the biggest threats.
Genghis Khan, from the Bathurst stables of Dean Mirfin, shapes as another leading contender.
The five-year-old gelding ran third when first-up at Bathurst last time out and is expected to be fitter in Thursday's run while the field also includes Dubbo hopes Toulon Factor and Urus, trained by Kody Nestor and Garry Lynn respectively.
The best event of the day at Narromine is set to be the Agnvet Open Handicap (1300m), with Orcabessa to run there for Lunn.
The first of eight events at Narromine jumps at 1.04pm on Thursday.
