Jarrod Larkin Concreting (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

WEST TWO AFFAIR (3) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Shepparton over 390m (23.07). Rates on top in this line up. MINH ARDIE (4) has struggled for best form recently, last time finishing 4th (23.41) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Geelong. Has won here at this journey. Likely to be thereabouts. SALTY SNOOP (2) finds it hard to win. Finished in the minors latest when third (23.40) at Geelong and may be close to breaking through. Bold showing expected. KRAKEN SCOOBY (1) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.
