The four-year-old gelding followed up with his 1690m win at Shepparton last Tuesday with another over the same distance and at the same venue on Monday.
The race had to be restarted after a driver was thrown from the sulky in take one, with Ashwood wasting no time in taking Dynamite Dozer straight to the front after the restart and controlling the race from start to finish.
A second-straight win earned connections the second half of a $7000 Vicbred first win bonus.
His win boosted Dynamite Dozer's career record to two wins and two placings from eight starts, with all those wins and placings coming in the gelding's last four starts.
It continued a productive seven days for Ashwood, who picked up a treble at Mildura last Friday.
Strathfieldsaye trainer Glenn Douglas has also picked up a winner early on the program at Shepparton, with the three-year-old Speedy Leo claiming his first win at race start number four.
Douglas now has four winners in four days following the success of Vandanta at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday night, and Bernie Winkle at Mildura and Elegant Jewel at Bendigo on Friday.
A fruitful day for Bendigo region trainers continued with the win of the Chris Svanosio-trained and driven Anywhere Hugo.
The promising four-year-old trotter notched up his eighth career win at start number 27, with a commanding performance over the 2190m distance.
