Jarrod Larkin Concreting (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

CRAIG KEEPING (3) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 425m behind Spark Lightning (25.19) in a Grade 5. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. DERNANCOURT (7) was below best at his last start when 8th at this track following a second place finish (24.71) there two back. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has the ability to give this a shake. LIKE A BLAZE (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 425m. Hard to beat again. SLINGER (5) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (23.31) over 400m at Geelong. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw and capable of a better result.
